A FUN AIR FRYER BREAKFAST

As you can see, I’m a breakfast person. I don’t ever skip breakfast if I can help it! A trick I recently learned is how to make bagels in the air fryer – who knew you could do that?! Literally, I love my air fryer. You can pretty much make anything in them and these bagels turn out perfect in it! I love a good bagel and when I can make them from home instead of buying them at the store – it’s even better! You won’t believe how easy these are to make! If you are an air fryer and bagel fan like I am, then you have to try this Air Fryer Cinnamon Bagel recipe.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Why do I need olive oil spray?

This is to spray the basket. It is the best spray to use in an air fryer where it does not clog it up, get sticky or ruin the basket.

Do I need to preheat my air fryer?

Yes, you will need to preheat it to 350 degrees F. This is just like preheating the oven, it cuts down the time needed to make these bagels.

How long do bagels take to cook in an air fryer?

They take between 8-10 minutes, they will be puffed up and golden on the outside.

Can I toast bagels in the air fryer?

Absolutely! First cook the bagels until done. To toast, cut them across lengthwise. Place them cut side up back into the air fryer at 350°F. Toast for 2-5 minutes depending on your desired toastiness.

What can I top these with?

I like to use my homemade Cinnamon Honey Butter, but regular butter will work, cream cheese, jams or anything that you will think will complement the cinnamon flavor.

How do you store leftover bagels?

These can be stored in an airtight container where they will keep for up to 2-3 days. You can reheat in the toaster or in the air fryer as stated above. Bagels can also be frozen. Wrap well to protect against freezer burn and they can be frozen for up to 3 months.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

self-rising flour
granulated sugar
ground cinnamon
sea salt
greek yogurt
egg
water
olive oil spray

Ingredients needed: self-rising flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, sea salt, greek yogurt, egg and water.

HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER CINNAMON BAGELS:

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until combined.

Dry ingredients whisked together in bowl.

Add the greek yogurt and mix until it forms a loose dough with a spoon. Using your hands, form the dough into a smoother dough. The dough will be sticky.

Form the dough into a ball and place it on a clean work surface that is lightly dusted with flour. Cut the ball into 6ths and then roll them between your hands to form 6 equal-sized balls.

Roll the dough balls on the work surface into a long rope shape, about 8 inches in length.

Bring the ends together and pinch to form a circle. Repeat with the other dough balls.

Dough strip ends brought together to make circles.

In a small bowl whisk together the egg and water. Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the bagels into the basket, not touching, you may need to do this in batches.

Brush the bagels lightly with the egg wash.
