Okay, let's get cooking (or rather, baking!)
and dive into the wonderful world of gluten-free snacking. When folks find out I'm gluten-free, the first question is almost always, "But what DO you eat?" It's as if the entire culinary world shrinks down to a tiny, sad corner of dry crackers. Well, my friends, I'm here to tell you, that's absolutely NOT the case! Gluten-free doesn't have to mean bland or boring. In fact, it's opened up a whole new universe of deliciousness for me. And that's what I want to share with you today. We're not just going to make some basic gluten-free snacks; we're going to create little bites of joy that you'll crave (and your gluten-loving friends will too!). I'm talking about some savory and sweet gluten-free goodness, that aren't just "okay for gluten-free" but legitimately *delicious*. Think warm, cheesy, and crispy, or maybe a soft, melt-in-your-mouth treat. Are you with me? Let's get started!
Cheesy Gluten-Free Everything Bagel Bites
These are my go-to when I need something savory, satisfying, and frankly, a little addictive. They're like little mini-pizzas, but way better because, well, they're bursting with flavor and they are *mine.*
Recipe Card
Ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Stir together Greek yogurt and milk in a separate bowl.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of cheese to the dough.
- Scoop dough onto the baking sheet.
- Top with remaining cheese and everything bagel seasoning.
- Brush the top of each bite with olive oil.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack.
Tips & Tricks:
- Cheese Swaps: Not a fan of mozzarella? Try cheddar, Colby jack, or even a sprinkle of parmesan.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dough for a little kick.
- Herb it Out: Mix fresh or dried herbs like chives or oregano into the dough for an extra layer of flavor.
- Make them Ahead: These can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days or in your freezer for another time. Reheat in the oven for the best results.
- Yogurt Alternatives: If you do not have greek yogurt, you can substitute the greek yogurt with regular unsweetened plain yogurt or sour cream.
Product Recommendations:
- Using a good quality baking sheet can ensure even cooking for your bagel bites.
- A nice set of mixing bowls is essential for any kitchen. I use mine for nearly every recipe.
- Using a silicone pastry brush will ensure your bagel bites have even coating of oil.
