Ingredients
Regular Blueberry Bagels
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- ½ cup frozen wild blueberries
- 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
Gluten-Free Blueberry Bagels
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup gluten free measure-for-measure flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ cup frozen wild blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F and allow it to preheat while you prepare the dough.
- Mix Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and flour (self-rising for regular, gluten free flour + baking powder for gluten-free). Mix until the dough forms a chunky consistency, then gently fold in the frozen blueberries using a fork.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth and no longer sticky. If sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
- Shape Bagels: Press the dough into a disc and divide it into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a 6-inch long log, then join the ends firmly to form a bagel shape.
- Apply Egg Wash: Whisk the egg with a splash of water or milk, then brush the egg wash over the tops and sides of each bagel for a golden finish (optional).
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or place an air fryer liner to prevent sticking. Arrange the bagels inside without letting them touch.
- Cook Bagels: Air fry the bagels at 350°F for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh blueberries for frozen if preferred, but no need to thaw them before mixing.
- To make gluten-free bagels, use gluten-free flour with baking powder instead of self-rising flour.
- The egg wash is optional but helps achieve a glossy golden crust.
- Add a bit more flour during kneading if dough feels too sticky to handle.
- Serve the bagels fresh for best texture and flavor; leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently.
