My kids love homemade bagels, and I love that you can make these anytime and only require really only 3 ingredients. You can also add your own flavorings, dried fruit, or seasoning. Today, I used my son’s favorite fruit, blueberries, and created these. Here is my recipe for Air Fryer Homemade Blueberry Bagels.

As you probably know, these were originally a Weight Watcher recipe, using Greek Yogurt, Self-Rising Flour, and today dried blueberries. I do an egg wash, but if you are allergic to eggs or do not want it, that’s fine. I find that they taste better.

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Blueberry Bagels

Here are the simple ingredients you will need for a batch of blueberry Greek yogurt bagels.

Remember the step-by-step directions and detailed ingredient list are below, in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, as well as the nutritional information.

Self-Rising Flour: Provides the base for the bagel dough, eliminating the need for additional rising agents.
Greek Yogurt: Adds moisture and a tangy flavor to the dough, creating a soft and chewy texture.
Dried Blueberries: Infuse the bagels with bursts of sweet, fruity flavor, complementing the dough perfectly.
Egg Wash (egg and water): Gives the bagels a shiny, golden-brown crust when brushed on before baking, enhancing their appearance and texture.

Pro Tips Air Fryer Blueberry Bagels

Proper Dough Consistency: Ensure the bagel dough is neither too dry nor too sticky. Adjust the amount of Greek yogurt or flour as needed to achieve a smooth, elastic consistency.
Even Distribution of Blueberries: Gently fold the dried blueberries into the dough to evenly distribute them. Avoid overmixing, as this can cause the blueberries to bleed and discolor the dough.
Use Parchment Paper: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent the bagels from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: Leave enough space between the bagels in the air fryer basket to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
Brush with Egg Wash: For a shiny, golden-brown crust, brush the bagels with egg wash (a mixture of beaten egg and water) before air frying.
Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the bagels as they cook, as air fryer temperatures can vary. Adjust the cooking time as needed to achieve the desired level of doneness.
Let Them Cool: Allow the bagels to cool slightly before slicing and serving to prevent them from becoming too soft and doughy. Enjoy your homemade Air Fryer Blueberry Bagels with your favorite toppings for a delicious breakfast or snack!

Faqs Air Fried Homemade Blueberry Bagels

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of dried? While dried blueberries are recommended for Air Fried Blueberry Bagels, you can certainly experiment with fresh blueberries. However, keep in mind that fresh blueberries may release more moisture during baking and could affect the texture of the bagels.

How do I store leftover bagels? Store any leftover Air Fried Blueberry Bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. To freeze, wrap each bagel individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Can I make these bagels without a self-rising flour? Self-rising flour contains baking powder and salt, which helps the bagels rise and develop their texture. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For every cup of all-purpose flour, mix in 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Can I use non-fat Greek yogurt instead of full-fat? Full-fat Greek yogurt is recommended for Air Fried Blueberry Bagels as it provides a richer texture and flavor. However, you can use non-fat Greek yogurt if you prefer. Just be aware that the texture of the bagels may be slightly different.

Can I make savory variations of these bagels? Absolutely! While this recipe focuses on blueberry bagels, you can customize the flavorings to create savory versions. Simply omit the blueberries and add your favorite herbs, spices, or shredded cheese to the dough for a delicious savory twist.
