This recipe for Easy Air Fryer Mini Bagels offers a quick and simple way to enjoy fresh, gluten-free bagels made with just a few ingredients. Using plain Greek yogurt and gluten-free flour, these mini bagels are baked in an air fryer for a healthier, no-oven approach.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 flour (such as King Arthur’s)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons Everything bagel seasoning

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Olive oil spray, egg white, or water (for coating the bagels)

Instructions

  1. Make the dough: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and kosher salt to create a gluten-free self-rising flour mixture. Add the plain Greek yogurt and mix thoroughly using a fork until you get a thick, slightly wet, and chunky dough. Sprinkle flour on your hands and dough, then knead in the bowl until a smooth dough ball forms, about 1 minute or less.
  2. Shape the bagels: Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead for another minute. Using a rounded tablespoon, scoop approximately 1 ounce of dough to roll into a ball. Place each ball on a clean plate. This recipe yields 12-13 mini bagels.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the bagels.
  4. Season the bagels: Lightly spray or brush each dough ball with olive oil spray, egg white, or water to help the seasoning stick. Spread everything bagel seasoning in a shallow bowl and roll each dough ball in the seasoning or sprinkle seasoning directly on the bagels as preferred.
  5. Prepare the air fryer basket: Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray (non-aerosol) to prevent sticking. Place the bagels in a single layer with about 1 inch of space between each to allow for expansion. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  6. Cook the bagels: Air fry the mini bagels for 10-12 minutes. After 10 minutes, carefully check the inside of one bagel by pulling it apart to ensure it is fully cooked and not doughy. If needed, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool on a plate for 5 minutes.
  7. Serve: Enjoy the mini bagels warm with butter, cream cheese, or your favorite spread.

Notes

  • Make sure to use a gluten-free 1:1 flour blend that contains xanthan gum for best texture.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake these bagels in a conventional oven at 350°F for about 15-18 minutes.
  • For even browning, you can flip the bagels halfway through the cooking time in the air fryer.
  • Use egg white coating if you want a shiny, more traditional bagel finish; olive oil or water works well for a lighter coating.
  • Store leftover bagels in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer or toaster for freshness.
