High-Protein Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Bites (Air Fryer Recipe)

5 from 1 vote
If you love the dense, chewy satisfaction of a cinnamon raisin bagel but want to avoid the massive carb-load of a traditional bakery loaf, you have to try these High-Protein Bagel Bites. Most "healthy" donut holes or protein bites end up being soft and cakey, but I have mastered this specific dough ratio to ensure you get that authentic, awesome bagely chew.
These are incredibly quick to make and provide nearly 50g of protein for the entire batch. They are the perfect solution for those who want a warm, bready breakfast that actually fuels muscle recovery instead of leading to a mid-morning sugar crash.

Notes

Ensure you use a Whey/Casein protein blend (like PE Science) to prevent shrinkage. If dough is too sticky, dust hands with flour rather than adding it to the dough. Always weigh your yogurt (160g) and flour (90g) for consistency. Let cool for 5 minutes before eating to set the internal structure.
