Weight Watchers Everything Bagels (2-Ingredient Air Fryer Recipe)

These Weight Watchers everything bagels are made with the same Greek yogurt and self-rising flour dough as my 2 Ingredient Air Fryer Bagels, then air fried until golden and topped with plenty of everything bagel seasoning. They’re about 3 WW points each, have no yeast, and go from bowl to plate in 20 minutes.

I started making these when a sourdough phase didn’t survive my busy schedule. The yogurt dough gives you a chewy, deli-style crust with a soft middle, and the air fryer is what makes a “healthy bagel” taste like a real one. Once you get the dough texture right, these will be on your weekly WW meal prep list.

Quick stats: 20 minutes total · 2 main ingredients · 4 bagels · about 3 WW points each · 10g protein per bagel · no yeast, no boiling

Why You’ll Love These Weight Watchers Bagels

• About 3 WW points each. A satisfying, full-size bagel that fits easily into your daily points.
• Just 2 base ingredients. Self-rising flour and non-fat Greek yogurt. The yogurt binds the dough and adds a subtle tang, like a long-fermented bagel.
• High protein. Around 10g of protein per bagel, thanks to the Greek yogurt. That’s more than most store-bought bagels.
• No yeast, no waiting. The leavening in self-rising flour does all the work. Mix, shape, and air fry.
• Bakery-style crust. The air fryer’s circulating heat crisps the outside and keeps the inside tender, which a regular oven struggles to do with this dough.

Ingredients for Weight Watchers Everything Bagels

• Self-rising flour: Already contains baking powder and salt, so the bagels rise without yeast.
• Non-fat plain Greek yogurt: It must be thick Greek yogurt, not regular. Fage 0%, Chobani Non-Fat Plain, and Two Good all work well. Skip flavored or watery yogurts. Non-fat yogurt also keeps the points lowest.
• 1 large egg + 1 tablespoon water: The egg wash makes the tops golden and helps the seasoning stick.
• Everything bagel seasoning: Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel is a favorite, but any blend works. You can also make your own (see the FAQ).

No self-rising flour? Whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.

How to Make Weight Watchers Everything Bagels in the Air Fryer

Step 1: Mix the dough

In a medium bowl, stir 1 cup self-rising flour and 1 cup Greek yogurt with a fork until shaggy. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute. You want a smooth, slightly tacky ball that isn’t sticky or dry. Add flour 1 tablespoon at a time if it sticks, or yogurt 1 teaspoon at a time if it’s crumbly.

Step 2: Shape the bagels

Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each into a rope about 6 inches long and ¾ inch thick. Bring the ends together and pinch firmly to seal, using a dab of water if needed. Make the hole bigger than you think, since it shrinks as the bagels rise.

Step 3: Brush with egg wash

Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Generously brush the tops and sides of each bagel.

Step 4: Air fry for 5 minutes

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Lightly grease the basket or use a perforated parchment liner. Place the bagels in a single layer with at least 1 inch between them, and air fry for 5 minutes.

Step 5: Season and finish

Brush the bagels with egg wash a second time, then sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning. Air fry for another 5 to 7 minutes at 350°F, until deep golden brown and firm.

Step 6: Cool before slicing

Move the bagels to a wire rack and let them cool for at least 10 minutes. Slicing them hot gives you a gummy middle, because they finish setting as they cool.

Other Ways to Cook Weight Watchers Bagels

No air fryer? These bagels bake beautifully, too. Mix, shape, and egg wash the dough exactly the same way, then follow one of the methods below.

How to Bake Weight Watchers Bagels in the Oven

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place the shaped, egg-washed bagels on the sheet at least 2 inches apart.
3. Bake for 10 minutes.
4. Brush with egg wash a second time and sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.
5. Bake another 10 to 15 minutes, until deep golden brown and firm.
6. Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Baked bagels have a slightly softer crust than air fried ones. For more color, move the pan to the top rack for the last 2 minutes, watching closely so the seasoning doesn’t burn.

Convection Oven

Bake at 350°F for about 18 to 20 minutes total, adding the second egg wash and seasoning at the 8-minute mark. The fan browns them faster, so start checking early.

Toaster Oven

Bake at 375°F for about 18 to 22 minutes total, adding the topping halfway through. Most toaster ovens fit 2 bagels at a time, so work in batches.

Method	Temperature	Total time
Air fryer	350°F	10–12 minutes
Oven	375°F	20–25 minutes
Convection oven	350°F	18–20 minutes
Toaster oven	375°F	18–22 minutes

Weight Watchers Points Breakdown

Made with non-fat Greek yogurt and self-rising flour, each bagel is about 3 points on current WW plans. The egg wash adds almost nothing across 4 bagels. Points vary by brand, so scan your yogurt and flour in the WW app for an exact number.

Low-point ways to serve them:

• Light cream cheese instead of regular
• Scrambled egg whites for a breakfast sandwich
• Smoked salmon, capers, and red onion
• Avocado with red pepper flakes
• Turkey, tomato, and a slice of light Swiss

Pro Tips for the Best WW Bagels

• Use thick Greek yogurt only. Thin yogurt makes sticky dough and flat bagels. Drain off any liquid on top first.
• Don’t skip the second egg wash. It locks the seasoning on instead of letting it fall into the basket.
• Preheat the air fryer. Bagels rise better in a hot basket. Two to three minutes is enough.
• Leave space between bagels. Crowded bagels steam instead of crisp, so cook in batches if needed.
• Check at 8 minutes. Air fryers vary a lot. Pull them when the tops are deep golden.

Variations

Use the same dough and swap the everything seasoning for:

• Asiago: Top with shredded Asiago in the last 3 minutes, or try my full Asiago Cheese Bagels recipe.
• Jalapeño cheddar: Mix ¼ cup shredded cheddar and 1 diced jalapeño into the dough. Here’s my Jalapeño and Cheddar Bagels recipe.
• Cheddar: Knead shredded cheddar into the dough, like these Cheddar Cheese Bagels.
• Poppy seed: Skip the everything seasoning and use only poppy seeds, like these Poppy Bagels.
• Blueberry: Fold in ⅓ cup fresh blueberries, patted dry. See my Weight Watchers Blueberry Bagels.
• Strawberry: Use strawberry Greek yogurt and fresh berries, like these Strawberry Bagels.
• Coconut: Use coconut vanilla Greek yogurt and shredded coconut, like these Toasted Coconut Bagels.
• Cinnamon raisin: Add 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar and a handful of raisins to the dough.

Add-ins like cheese and butter will raise the points, so recalculate in the WW app.

How to Store and Reheat

• Room temperature: Up to 2 days in an airtight container.
• Fridge: Up to 5 days. Reheat before eating, since they firm up.
• Freezer: Slice in half, then freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Reheat them just like these Air Fryer Frozen Bagels.
• Reheat: 2 to 3 minutes in the air fryer at 320°F. For a crispier finish, follow my guide to toasting a bagel in the air fryer.
• Leftovers: Slice day-old bagels thin and turn them into Everything Bagel Chips.

Weight Watchers Everything Bagels FAQ

How many Weight Watchers points are in each bagel? About 3 points per bagel on current WW plans when made with non-fat Greek yogurt. Check the WW app with your brands for an exact count.

How many bagels does this recipe make? It makes 4 full-size bagels. For 8 mini bagels, divide the dough into 8 pieces and cook for about 6 to 7 minutes total. For bite-size snacks, try my 2-Ingredient Bagel Bites.

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt? No. Regular yogurt is too thin and turns the dough into batter. Use thick, plain Greek yogurt, either non-fat or 2%.

Why are my bagels gummy in the middle? Usually they were sliced too soon, the dough was too wet, or they needed 2 to 3 more minutes. The inside should reach about 200°F.

Why didn’t my seasoning stick? The egg wash needs to be wet when you sprinkle. Always brush a second time right before adding the topping.

Can I make these without an air fryer? Yes. Bake them in the oven at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes, or use a convection or toaster oven. See the other cooking methods above for the full steps.

Can I make them gluten-free? Use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour plus 1½ teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt. They’ll be a little denser and need 2 to 3 extra minutes. If you’re eating low-carb, try my Keto Bagels made with almond flour.

Can I make the dough ahead? Refrigerate the dough, tightly wrapped, for up to 24 hours. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before shaping.

How do I make my own everything bagel seasoning? Mix 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, 1 tablespoon dried minced garlic, 1 tablespoon dried minced onion, and 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt.
