Ingredients
- Gluten-Free 1:1 Flour: 1 cup (such as King Arthur’s)
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Kosher Salt: ½ teaspoon
- Plain Greek Yogurt: 1 cup
- Everything Bagel Seasoning: 2 tablespoons
- Olive Oil Spray, Egg White, or Water: For coating the bagels
Directions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the flour mixture and stir with a fork until the ingredients combine into a thick, slightly wet dough.
- With lightly floured hands, knead the dough in the bowl until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and continue to knead with your hands for another minute.
- Shape the Bagels:
- Use a rounded tablespoon to scoop out heaping portions of dough (about 1 ounce each). Roll each portion into a ball and place on a clean plate.
- Repeat until all the dough is used, you should have about 12-13 mini bagels.
- Prep for Cooking:
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly coat each dough ball with olive oil spray, egg white, or water, then roll in or sprinkle with Everything bagel seasoning to coat.
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray and arrange the bagels in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
- Cook the Bagels:
- Air fry the mini bagels for 10-12 minutes. At the 10-minute mark, check for doneness by pulling apart one bagel; if it’s still doughy, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool on a plate for 5 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve the mini bagels warm with butter, cream cheese, or your favorite bagel toppings.

Ingredients
1 cup gluten-free 1:1 flour (such as King Arthur’s)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons Everything bagel seasoning
Olive oil spray, egg white, or water (for coating the bagels)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt to create a self-rising flour blend.
Add the Greek yogurt to the flour mixture and stir with a fork until a thick, slightly wet, chunky dough forms.
Lightly flour your hands and the dough. Mix and knead it in the bowl until smooth, about 1 minute.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead with your hands for another minute.
Use a rounded tablespoon to scoop about 1 heaping tablespoon (about 1 ounce) of dough, roll it into a ball, and place it on a clean plate. Repeat until all dough is used, making about 12-13 mini bagels.
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly coat each dough ball with olive oil spray, egg white, or water. Roll in or sprinkle with Everything bagel seasoning.
Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray and arrange the bagels in a single layer, ensuring they are about 1 inch apart.
Cook the mini bagels for 10-12 minutes. After 10 minutes, check if they are cooked by pulling one apart. If doughy, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove from the air fryer and let cool for 5 minutes on a plate.
Serve with butter or cream cheese.
