  • Mozzarella cheese is also a great alternative and can be substituted for cheddar, or use a combination of both for extra flavor

3 INGREDIENT AIR FRYER BAGELS – WITH GLUTEN FREE OPTION

These air fryer bagels are a breeze to make in less than 20 minutes, using just 3 simple ingredients. They turn out light, fluffy, and incredibly delicious. Feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings or make them gluten-free!

INGREDIENTS

For Regular Bagels:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (optional for extra fluffiness)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional toppings: Everything Bagel Seasoning, Sesame Seeds, Poppy Seeds

For Gluten-Free Bagels:

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg white, whisked until frothy
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the yogurt and stir the dough with a fork, hands, or rubber spatula until it’s wet but still a bit crumbly with larger dough pieces.
  • Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead it into a smooth ball. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  • Roll each portion into a 5-6 inch long, ¾ inch wide log. Form each log into a circle and pinch the ends together.
  • In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk with a bit of water to make the egg wash. Brush the wash over the top and middle of each bagel. Optionally, sprinkle with your desired toppings.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F and lightly coat the basket with olive oil spray. Place the bagels in the basket in a single layer, leaving about 2 inches between each. Cook for 10 minutes, checking at 8-9 minutes to ensure they don’t over-brown (air fryer times may vary).
  • Once golden and cooked through, remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

For Gluten-Free Bagels:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the yogurt and whisked egg white, then mix the dough until it’s wet but slightly crumbly with larger dough pieces.
  • Follow the same steps as for regular bagels to form, bake, and serve. Enjoy!
