Jalapeño Cheese Protein Bagels
These easy cottage cheese protein bagels use Kodiak Cakes mix, jalapeño, and shredded cheese. Each serving has about 31 grams of protein and makes 1 large bagel or 2 smaller bagels.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Kodiak Cakes Protein Packed Buttermilk Power Cakes Mix (63 g)
- 1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese (113g)
- 14 g shredded Mexican style cheese (or cheddar)
- 2 tbsp finely diced jalapeño
Optional: garlic powder or everything bagel seasoning
Serve with
- 2 tbsp whipped cream cheese
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese and Kodiak Cakes mix to a bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- If the dough feels too sticky to shape, add more Kodiak Cakes mix about 1 tablespoon at a time until it becomes easier to handle. Avoid adding too much so the bagel stays soft.
- Fold in the shredded cheese and diced jalapeño. (or add them on top of the bagels before air-frying)
- Lightly flour or wet your hands and shape the dough into 1 large bagel or divide it into 2 smaller bagels.
- Make a hole in the center of each bagel.
- Top with extra cheese and jalapeño if desired.
- Place the bagel in a lightly greased air fryer basket or on air fryer-safe parchment paper.
- Air fry at 375°F for 10 to 14 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- For an extra golden top, broil on low for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely.
- Let the bagel cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with whipped cream cheese
