What Are Dunkin Donuts Bagel Minis?
You might have seen the commercials for Dunkin Donuts Bagel Minis on TV or noticed them at your local Dunkins. They are a smaller version of their bagels in three flavors: Cinnamon Raisin, Plain, and Everything. The idea is to get you hooked on these little versions before moving on to the big ones!
The most remarkable thing about them is that they are already stuffed with cream cheese. Making them so easy to eat!
Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bagel Minis
- All-Purpose Flour
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Minced Garlic
- Greek Yogurt
- Cream Cheese
- Egg
- Everything Bagel Sesaoning
How To Make Air Fryer Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bagel Minis
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 5 minutes as you prepare the bagel minis
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, minced garlic, and greek yogurt in a large mixing bowl. Use a dough whisk or wooden spoon to mix until dough forms.
Once the dough is smooth, knead with your hands and form a large ball.
Lightly flour a wooden cutting board. Place the dough ball onto the cutting board and separate it into eight equal sections. Roll each section into a ball.
Use your finger to make a small hole through the side of the dough.
Place cream cheese balls into the dough, then use your fingers to pinch together the opening and seal the cream cheese inside. Be sure the hole is completely closed before proceeding to the next step.
Add egg to a small bowl with water and whisk. Brush each bagel ball one by one with egg wash and immediately sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange bagel minis in the air fryer basket in a single layer leaving at least 1″ between each. They will grow as they cook, so this is to prevent them from sticking.
Cook for 7 to 10 minutes.
Pro Tips For Making The Best Batch of Air Fryer Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bagel Minis
- You can prepare this recipe in any Air Fryer, Basket, or Oven Model. This recipe will also work in the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, GoWise, PowerXL, and even the Instant Pot Crisp and Mealthy Lid.
- For best results, leave space in between the Bagel Minis so that they can cook up perfectly.
- Remember to spray or use a piece of parchment liner to prevent the bagel minis from sticking to the bottom of the air fryer basket.
- One of the most important tips I can give you is ensuring that the Air Fryer Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bagel Minis are closed tightly. Otherwise, the cream cheese will be leaking out of them.
Other Flavors/Variations:
There is nothing that a little creativity can get you. You can make these in a hundred different ways by changing out the ingredients.
Some of my favorite ideas:
- Chocolate Chip Mini Bagels
- Strawberry Mini Bagels
- Jalapeno & Cheddar Mini Bagels
- Cheddar Cheese Mini Bagels
- Blueberry Mini Bagels
- Cinnamon and Sugar
- Change the Cream Cheese: Rember any cream cheese will work, my son loves these with Strawberry Cream Cheese or Vegetable Cream Cheese.
Why Use Greek Yogurt?
All of the Weight Watcher Bagel Recipes use Greek Yogurt because Greek Yogurt is heavier than regular yogurt.
Greek yogurt has been trained, and the whey has been removed from it, leaving you with a heaver yogurt. While you can use any flavor of Greek yogurt, you need to stick with using Greek yogurt for this recipe.
Regular yogurt will not work.
How To Store Mini Bagels
I usually make a huge batch of these on Sunday and use them for a few days for a quick and delicious breakfast for the family.
To store them, let them cool to room temperature and then place them into an airtight container. They will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 days.
How To Freeze Mini Bagels
Freezing bagels is a great way to save money on your grocery bill and have them handy for quick, easy breakfasts.
To freeze bagel, make your own homemade Air Fryer Bantam Bagels, let the batch cool to room temperature, and then place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the cooked bagels into the freezer, freeze until they’re frozen solid.
Remove the frozen bagel bites from the baking sheet, and place them into a freezer container or freezer bag. They will last for about 1 to 2 months.
To use from frozen: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave or air fryer.
To cook frozen, set the frozen homemade Bantam Bagels into the air fryer basket, air fry at 400 degrees F, air fryer setting for 4 to 8 minutes, or until heated through.
