These 2 ingredient air fryer bagels taste AMAZING!
For only a couple of main ingredients and very little cooking time, this is a definite must-try recipe! I love that there’s no yeast required, no boiling, and the dough comes together easily.
Hip Tip: Don’t have self-rising flour? For each cup of all-purpose flour, add 2 teaspoons of baking powder + 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Love everything-flavored bagels?
I do, too! Ideally, my favorite is Everything Bagel Seasoning like Trader Joe’s carries! I didn’t have that on hand, so I combined poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic flakes, onion flakes, and salt to make my own. It’s so good!
It’s also worth mentioning that this is a Weight Watchers idea and is said to be 3 smart points per bagel. Consider using this simple dough in other ways too, like breadsticks, pizza, calzones, etc!
And let me know when you do, because I’ll be right over to help taste test! 🤣
Love Everything Bagels? You have to try this easy Everything But the Bagel Cheese Ball!
Lina! Thanks for another wonderful idea! I always look forward to seeing your creative ideas, so motivational!
Oh my goodness – my day is made! Thanks so much ❤️

Thank you 🙂
ok sooo trying this .
thanks for the recipes
I’ve had my fryer over a year and haven’t really made anything from scratch or fresh except to cook frozen foods.
I’m excited to try these.
the sweet potato fries yum
I think you’ll love it!
Trader Joe’s makes an amazing product called “Everything but the Bagel” sesame seasoning blend. It is a MUST, if you make homemade bagels and breads!
Yes! Was just coming to say this! LOVE Everything But The Bagel Sprinkles 😍
Yes! I want to try it!
Walmart has their own brand of everything bagel seasoning also!
where can we find all your air fryer recipes? I just bought one and am excited to try it out.
Hi Jessica! There is a section here with all the air fryer recipes:
https://hip2save.com/recipes/
Enjoy!
Thank you! These look so yummy. Has anyone tried making these with a gluten free flour?
I have not personally tried – but I read you defiantly can. Don’t forget to add the baking powder and salt 👍
I tried making with Namaste GF flour. I added the baking powder and cooked them for the time stated. Mine turned out very gummy inside. I will try again soon
Love the recipes!!!
Any chance you have any gluten free “bread” ones that you coul share? Donuts, bagels, etc….. buying gf bread products totoally breaks the bank
If you have an aldi near you they have a ton of gluten free products for extremely decent prices.. I love their gluten free bread
Yikes, these look awful. This is an insult to bagels.
LOL, I am a NYer and therefore a bagel snob. I was wondering how good could these bagels really be? Opie, I wouldn’t put them down until you taste them. I think the idea of making them fresh at home in the air fryer is really cool. If u knew something about baking science u would know that yogurt + self rising flour has all the ingredients u need to bake bread…or in this case, bagels. On the other hand, it’s not a bagel without NY water!
It says they can be baked in a regular oven at the twice the time. An air fryer is small table top convection oven. So if you bake them in a regular convection oven instead, the time should be the same.
It’s a smaller space so takes less time. I actually just used this dough for a diff purpose and took 25 min in my oven – hope that helps. Try it! 👍
You can use this same concept to make pizza .. which is delicious btw
Yes! I love that idea 👍
These are good!
Great! Thanks for sharing Amie!
Thank u so much. How about whole-wheat bagels? Trying to eat healthier. Is that possible with an air fryer? I will def try this in my as-of-yet unopened air fryer box!
I used while wheat flower and it was great. But almond flour did NOT work 😂
I know that yogurt and sour cream can be exchanged for each other in certain recipes. Would this be one, or is there something different about Greek yogurt where sour cream wouldn’t work in this instance?
I don’t believe you can substitute sour cream in this instance.
If you use a regular oven what temperature do you use? Could I use regular flavored yogurt?
No, it would make the dough too runny. Greek yogurt is thicker.
I would strain it using cheesecloth 1st…bascally a diy greek yogurt.
Want to try this. Sounds delicious but do you happen to know what the carbs would be?
I don’t know – but if your flour shows how much is in one cup, and your yogurt shows the content of 8oz, just add them and divide by 4. It should be close.
Thanks Lina! Love your posts. Do you know if I can substitute the AP flour for almond flour?
I’ve heard it comes out sticky —however, I’ve heard you could add a teaspoon of gluten free baking powder to the basic fathead keto dough, which is cream cheese, mozz cheese, egg, and almond flour…and it should rise. I’m going to try it soon! <3 Hope that helps!
Almond flour never baked for me. It ended up being like burnt cheese 😂
Could I use almond or coconut flour to make these low carb?
I do something similar but cut the flour in half and use protein powder for the remaining half.
That’s smart!! Thanks for sharing 👍
I love two ingredient dough. I use it for my pizza dough, pretzels and have made cinnamon rolls.
That’s fantastic!
I guess I’m gonna have to breakdown and order an air fryer, these look so yummy!
I think you convinced me….. Which airfryer should I get ? Any deals out there
I loooooove bagels!!!! Don’t have an air fryer but I do have an oven and I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thank you so much!!!😊
You’re so welcome!
These are so good and so easy! I’ve only made in the oven, but got an air fryer yesterday and I cannot wait to make them in the air fryer! I see a fried egg bagelwich in my future!
YES! Let us know how you like your air fryer! 👍
Sorry if I missed it, buy nutrition facts? Carb count?
I made these today using the self rising flour substitute and 2% Greek yogurt. They turned out like biscuits, not bagels. Tasty, but not bagels.
So when you say a cup of yogurt, do you mean 8 oz, or just the single 5.3 oz standard yogurt cup?That might be my problem.
Agreed.. when providing recipes for preparing anything, you should use detailed instructions. I have cups of every size shape and color. Should I use my opaque purple cup or my yellow dinosaur cup??
Just made these and they were perfect! Highly recommend!
Thanks for sharing! ❤️
When you say 1 cup of yogurt, do you mean one typical packaged cup of yogurt (6 oz) or 1 measuring cup?
Thanks!
Gus
I just used a measuring cup. Hope that helps 👍
Perfect…thank you!
I would like to by an air flyer but not sure which one to buy. In Canada I do not have much choice to pick from. I have a tfal one but cannot do to much with it.
It wasn’t that I didn’t believe this would work, wasn’t sure I could make it work! They were easy, great pictures to follow (thank u for that), BUT REALLY GOOD!!!!!! For one person perfect think I will leave them in a minute or two longer next time so the inside is a little more done. I love my air fryer, cook mostly from scratch except fries, I have a smaller one perfect for one or two. Love your sight thanks for your hard work and making cooking fun!!!!!
I am struggling with the dough. Very sticky and hard to handle. I add a little additional flour but that doesn’t help. I know many use Fage yogurt and I am using Oikos. Appreciate any tips. Thank you.
Ya it is a sticky dough in general. Making sure to flour your hands and the cutting board you’re working on is helpful.
We love our bagels and I’ve made two batches now which turned out so good I’m shocked. Ive been telling friends and it’s “well I like Montreal bagels” or “i like NY bagels”. For heavens sake use a cup of flour and try them. I used 2% yogurt the first time and whole yogurt the second. Both worked.
Would it be possible to add asiago cheese to the batter and have them turn out? And of course, tons on top!!
I agree. They are interesting but they do not taste like bagels. Keep trying.
I’m a bit late to the party but I’m here! Have made these twice already since I got my air fryer less than two weeks ago, and they’ve turned out really good! I even added cinnamon, brown sugar, and raisins for cinnamon raisin bagels! Blueberry bagels next. 😀
Oh yum!! That all sounds awesome 👏
These are delish and SUPER easy!!!! Thank you for sharing.
Oh good thanks so much ❤️
I followed the directions and made the bagels today. They looked beautiful and smelled heavenly however, they were raw inside. Has anyone else had this issue??
Yes. I had to add more. The dough was also super sticky. They were more like biscuits.
I just made these bagels. 2 I worked the everything but the bagel seasoning into the dough and the other 2 I added 1/3 cup shredded taco cheese that I worked into the dough. I had to bake them 5 minutes longer and I didn’t stretch them out big enough because the hole in the middle almost filled in. I ate the cheese bagel for dinner and it was amazing! Glad I put all the goodies inside so I didn’t loose any to the toaster or floor!
I’m so glad it all worked out Valerie! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
A lot of people on weight watchers make these, they also use the same recipe for pizza dough and biscuits!!!
Yes I’ve seen that too! Can’t wait to try pizzas
Can you make this with almond flour? I am trying to lose weight and don’t want to eat flour? Have you tried it with any other flour?
Yes here is the low carb grain free version. https://hip2keto.com/recipes/easy-keto-bagels/
Last week I picked up a container of Spice Supreme “Everything Bagel Mix” in the spices section at Dollar Tree. Did not have a specific use in mind at the time. Just figured $1 wasn’t a bad price.
Just received an Air Fryer today that I had ordered last weekend.
All I need is the Yogurt and I will be set to give this recipe a try.
Oh yay! You’ll love these and great find 🙂
Just a heads up to anyone interested in the spice mix. The Everything Bagel Mix is a spice blend shake on type seasoning sold in a shaker jar. It is sold along side the regular spices…garlic powder, italian seasoning, onion powder, etc…. It has the type seasoning and seeds seen on anytime italian loaf bread like what Walmart sells. I haven’t noticed the spice at all Dollar Trees.
These look soooooooo delicious!
Oh thanks April!
Recommendations on air fryers please? So many brands and features!
I have a nuwave and power xl. Love them both!
I apologize if someone has already asked this, but do you know a keto friendly version for the air fryer? Thanks in advance.
Oh my goodness thank you Lina!! I love my air fryer (thank you H2S) who introduced the airfyer world to me, you’re great enablers, lol!!! I use mine all the time for Salmon (it’s amazing!!), Shrimp, asparagus (amazing too) diced potatoes, fried chicken, zucchini, and that’s all I can think of at the moment! But I’ve never tried donuts or bagels – I’m so excited to try them! Thank you Lina for posting your amazing recipes!
Oh I’m so happy Barb! Wow you’re an air frying pro now! ❤️👏 Thanks for the sweet comment.
I made these yesterday for my daughters. Today I made 4 more batches. My girls love them! I made blueberry, cinnamon sugar, everything, and plain. They are amazing. I wish I could post pictures here.
Oh my goodness how awesome! Thanks for sharing Graviey!
Can these be made Gluten Free?
Be careful if you don’t have a nonstick air fryer basket. They stuck terribly. Also, the dough is super sticky and not smooth at all. Your photos look like you used two separate batches of dough for the pictures. They were tasty but more like a biscuit than a bagel. Next time, I’m going to try mixing in my stand mixer to get a smoother consistency.
I’ve made these before and they are awesome!!! Is there anyway you can make these while on a Keto diet??? I tried a couple of times but they never came out right, do you have any idea?
Thanks!
Maybe it depends on the brand yogurt used but I found it way too sticky and hard to handle with only 1 cup of flour. I probably added an additional 1/4 to get it the way it looked in picture.
Ok thanks for the suggestion Cindy!
That did not turn out tasty at all, and I’ve made pizza dough with those ingredients before… are we supposed to eat them once they are cooled off?
