Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and the cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
Add the eggs to the cheese mixture and stir until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the cheese and egg mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If needed, knead the dough by hand until smooth.
Divide the dough into 16 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers to form small circles resembling mini bagels.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until the edges start to brown.
Remove from the oven and spread about 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce on top of each bagel bite.
Top each with a slice of pepperoni and a sprinkle of the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Bake again for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool slightly, then garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
