Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, unflavored protein powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Fold in the plain unsweetened Greek yogurt to the flour mixture, then knead until it holds together nicely.
  4. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces, roll each into a small ball, and flatten them to form discs.
  5. Place about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese in the center of each disc and fold the edges to seal.
  6. Brush with a beaten egg for a shiny finish and sprinkle with everything-but-the-bagel seasoning.
