How to Make High Protein Bagel Bites (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Make the Dough
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour and salt. Add the Greek yogurt and mix until a cohesive dough forms. The dough should be slightly tacky but easy to shape.
Step 3: Shape and Season
Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces and roll each into a smooth ball. Pour the everything bagel seasoning into a shallow bowl and roll each ball until fully coated.
Step 4: Bake
Place the bagel bites on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake for 20–24 minutes, until golden brown and firm on the outside.
Step 5: Cool and Set
Let the bagel bites cool on the pan for 30 minutes. This step is essential—they firm up as they cool and develop the perfect texture.
Tips & Variations
- Extra crunch: Add a second light coating of seasoning before baking
- Cheese boost: Mix in 1–2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- Different flavors: Try sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or garlic seasoning
- Mini sandwich bites: Slice and fill with cream cheese or egg salad

Description
These Tasty High Protein Bagel Bites are my new favorite for a quick breakfast or an easy party snack! Super filling and so simple to make—you’ll love how much energy they give you.
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups almond flour (I always use King Arthur for a finer grind and better Rise)
1 cup + 2 tablespoons yogurt (I prefer Fage 5% Greek yogurt for a thicker dough and extra protein)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
1. Prepare Your Equipment and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat. Having everything ready before you start mixing ensures you can shape and bake your bagel bites while the dough is at its best texture—almond flour doughs can become sticky as they sit.
2. Mix Dough Base: In a medium bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups almond flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt, whisking together to break up any lumps. Add 1 cup + 2 tablespoons yogurt and mix with a sturdy spoon or your hands until a cohesive dough forms. The mixture will be slightly tacky but should hold together when pressed. Greek yogurt creates a denser, chewier bite with better protein content than regular yogurt.
3. Shape and Season Bagel Bites: Divide the dough into 16 equal portions and roll each into a tight ball between your palms. Pour 1/3 cup everything bagel seasoning into a shallow bowl, then roll each ball in the seasoning to coat all sides evenly. This double-coating method helps the seasoning stay on during baking instead of falling off onto the pan.
4. Bake Until Golden: Arrange the seasoned balls on your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake at 350°F for 20–24 minutes, until golden brown on the outside and firm to the touch. The edges should look slightly crispy while the interior stays tender.
5. Cool and Set: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bagel bites cool on the pan for 30 minutes. This resting period allows them to firm up and become easier to handle—they’ll be delicate straight from the oven but will set as they cool. Once cooled completely, they’re ready to eat fresh or store for later.
