Air Fryer Mini Bagels Recipe

4.8 from 78 reviews

These Air Fryer Mini Bagels are a quick and easy homemade treat made with simple ingredients like self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Perfect for a snack or breakfast, they are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and finished with a flavorful everything bagel seasoning. Using an air fryer significantly reduces cooking time while giving them a delightful golden crust.

Ingredients

Scale

Bagel Dough

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt

Topping

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of self-rising flour and 1 cup of Greek yogurt. Mix well until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it is manageable.
  2. Shape Mini Bagels: Divide the dough into small portions (about 8-10 pieces). Roll each piece into a ball, then use your finger to make a hole in the center of each ball, gently stretching it into the shape of a mini bagel.
  3. Apply Egg Wash and Season: Lightly brush each mini bagel with the beaten egg wash. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over the top to add flavor and texture.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the mini bagels in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch. Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the mini bagels from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them fresh or with your favorite spreads.

Notes

  • You can substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • If you don’t have everything bagel seasoning, use a mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and salt.
  • Make sure the air fryer is preheated to get the best crispy exterior.
  • Mini bagels are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
