Equipment

  • 1 Air fryer
  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 Wooden spoon/spatula
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • 1 Pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all purpose flour (or flour of choice*)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used Fage 5%)
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions
 

Making bagel dough balls

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Add the Greek yogurt and mix with a wooden spoon, spatula, or fork until well combined.
  • Lightly dust work surface with additional flour. Place dough onto surface and knead until dough is tacky, but not sticking to your hand.
  • Divide evenly into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten with your hand into circles.
  • Place a small square of cream cheese onto dough and roll into a ball, completely covering the cream cheese. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Lightly brush egg wash onto each bagel dough ball and sprinkle with your seasoning of choice.
  • Bake using the instructions below, following your preferred cooking method of choice.

Air fryer

  • Preheat air fryer to 325F.
  • Lightly spray basket with oil and place bagel dough balls into basket, spreading out to avoid overcrowding.
  • Air fry for 12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  • Let cool for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!

Oven

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Place parchment paper on a large baking sheet. Lightly spray with oil.
  • While oven is heating, follow instructions above to make your bagel dough balls.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let cool for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

  • There is no need to flip the dough balls while cooking. 
  • If using an alternate flour, you may need to experiment with cooking times as each flour may bake differently.
