Ingredients
- ⅔ cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 scoop (30g) unflavored protein powder
- Pinch of salt
- ⅔ cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 10 tsp cream cheese (about 1 tsp per bite)

Instructions

- Lightly flour your work surface. Turn the dough out and divide it into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
- Flatten a ball into a small disc and place about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese in the center. Fold the edges up and pinch to seal, reshaping into a smooth ball.

- Air fry for 5–6 minutes until golden brown and set. Rotate the basket once if needed.
- Let cool for a minute or two before serving warm.
Notes
