Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup Gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 Tbsp Bagel seasoning

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • Stir in the Greek yogurt until a ball of dough forms. If the dough feels sticky, dust your hands with a little extra flour before shaping.
  • Divide the dough into three equal pieces. Roll each into a rope, then connect the ends to create that classic bagel shape.
  • Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper and place the bagels inside.
  • Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with your favorite bagel toppings—think poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or onion flakes. Optional: Brush with an egg wash before adding toppings for that shiny, bakery-style finish.
  • Air fry at 300 degrees F for 15-20 minutes until the bagels are golden brown.

Notes

  • If the dough sticks to your hands, wet them slightly or dust them with flour for easy shaping.
  • After shaping, pat the tops and sides of the bagels to smooth them out. It’s a little extra love that will give you prettier results.
  • To keep your bagels light and airy, use gluten-free flour instead of almond flour. Almond flour does not rise.
  • Add a scoop of unflavored protein powder or use cottage cheese instead of yogurt for an extra protein boost.
  • Get creative with your toppings. For sweet bagels, try cinnamon sugar. Or use a dash of melted butter and kosher salt or shredded cheese for a savory option.
  • If you’re making multiple batches for meal prep, bake them on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
