Begin by dashing into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. Start by combining almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk them together until they’re well blended. This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for your Protein Bagels. The balance of dry elements will give your bagels that perfect texture.

Next, it’s time to bring the wet ingredients into play! Crack a couple of eggs into the dry mixture, then pour in the Greek yogurt. Using a spatula or your hands, blend everything together until you have a sticky dough. The Greek yogurt adds moisture and protein, making these bagels not only tasty but also nutritious.

Now comes the exciting part—shaping your dough! With floured hands, take pieces of the dough and roll them into ropes about 8-10 inches long. Join the ends to create a circle, carefully pressing to seal the joints. This is where you form your glorious Protein Bagels. The shaping process is fun, and you can even involve the kids to make it a family activity!

While shaping your bagels, preheat your air fryer to 320°F. This step ensures that when you place your Protein Bagels inside, they cook evenly and develop that beautiful golden crust. The air fryer is magic for creating a perfectly crispy exterior without the need for a traditional oven.

Gently place your formed bagels into the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through for an even bake. As they cook, you’ll start to smell an incredible aroma filling your kitchen—a sure sign that your Protein Bagels are almost ready!

Once the timer goes off, carefully remove the bagels from the air fryer. Let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. This is the perfect moment to contemplate how you’ll enjoy them. Will you spread cream cheese, avocado, or perhaps something sweet? No wrong choices here, just a delicious outcome!
