Gluten Free High Protein Everything Bagel Bites

As a celiac mom and author of Trina’s Kitchen: Healthy Food Made Easy finding snacks that are gluten-free, high in protein, and satisfying is a must. These Everything High Protein Gluten-Free Bagel Bites check all the boxes—and you don’t need to be gluten-free to love them.

I’m on a mission to spend less, waste less, and buy less so I challenged myself to get creative and turn what ingredients I already have into simple meals and snacks that support energy, workouts, and overall health goals.

Ingredients

Makes 8 bagel bites

½ cup cottage cheese
1 egg
½ cup almond flour or for a nut free version try 1/3 cup of gluten free all purpose flour (cook only 8 minutes and add a bit more if it’s not thick enough.)
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning (divided)

How to Make Everything Cottage Cheese Gluten-Free Bagel Bites

Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C) or Air fryer: 375°F
Mix In a bowl, combine all ingredients except half of the everything bagel seasoning (reserve it for topping after baking). Stir until thick and well combined.
Use a medium ice cream scooper or your hands to form 8 small balls.
Cook in Air fryer: Cook at 375°F for 8-9 minutes or Oven: Bake at 350°F for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and set. If baking, lightly grease muffin cups to prevent sticking.
Finish & Serve Sprinkle the remaining everything bagel seasoning on top. Let cool slightly before serving.
I found a recipe online and modified it slightly (I can’t recall the original recipe source).
