Ingredients In Air Fryer Coconut Bagels

Here are the step-by-step instructions:

Self-rising flour in a yellow bowl, with  tag, indicating what's in the bowl.
  • Greek Yogurt (Coconut Vanilla): Greek yogurt adds moisture and a rich coconut vanilla flavor, enhancing the bagels’ texture and taste.
  • Self-Rising Flour: Self-rising flour provides the necessary leavening agents, helping the bagels rise and become light and airy.
  • Shredded Coconut: Shredded coconut adds a chewy texture and a tropical, slightly sweet flavor to the bagels.
  • Salt: Salt enhances the overall flavor of the bagels, balancing the sweetness and bringing out the other ingredients’ tastes.
  • Egg and Water: For a simple egg wash.

How To Make Air Fryer Coconut Bagels

Here are the step-by-step instructions:

Step One: Mix the Greek Yogurt, and self-rising flour, until the dough comes together. When the dough is well blended, mix in the shredded coconut.

Step Two: Divide the dough into four equal portions. Then, roll the dough into a ball, use your finger, and make a hole in the middle.

Step Three: In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together, then brush the tops with the egg wash. Set your bagels into the air fryer basket and sprinkle with some shredded coconut.

Step Four: Air Fry at 350 degrees F, with a cook time of 8-11 minutes. Halfway through air frying, flip your bagels.

Air Fryer Coconut Bagels Recipe Tips

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh shredded coconut and Greek yogurt. Check that your self-rising flour is within its use-by date for optimal leavening.
  • Don’t Overmix the Dough: Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can result in dense bagels.
  • Add Extra Coconut: For a more pronounced coconut flavor and texture, sprinkle additional shredded coconut on top of the bagels before air frying.
  • Shape Evenly: Ensure that the bagels are shaped evenly to cook uniformly. Use a consistent size for even baking and texture.
  • Avoid Overcrowding: Place the bagels in the air fryer basket with enough space between them to allow for proper air circulation. This helps achieve a crispy and evenly cooked result.
  • Egg Wash for Shine: Brushing the bagels with an egg wash before air frying can give them a beautiful, golden-brown finish and enhance their appearance.
  • Cool on a Wire Rack: Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack after air frying. This prevents them from becoming soggy and helps maintain a crispy crust.

Air Fryer Coconut Bagels Recipe Faqs

Can I use sweetened shredded coconut instead of unsweetened? Yes, you can use sweetened shredded coconut if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Just be mindful that it will increase the overall sweetness of the bagels.

Can I substitute Greek yogurt with another type of yogurt? Yes, you can use plain yogurt or a dairy-free alternative, but the texture and flavor may vary slightly. Greek yogurt provides a thicker consistency and richer taste.

How should I store leftover bagels? Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the air fryer or oven to restore their crispiness.

Can I make the dough ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Shape and air fry the bagels just before serving for the best texture.

How do I ensure the bagels cook evenly? To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Place the bagels in a single layer with enough space between them to allow for proper air circulation.

Can I use a different type of flour? Self-rising flour is recommended for this recipe due to its leavening properties. If using all-purpose flour, you must add baking powder and salt to achieve similar results.

What if my bagels turn out too dry? If the bagels are too dry, it might be due to overbaking or not enough moisture in the dough. Follow the recommended cooking time and check the bagels towards the end to avoid overbaking. Adding a bit more Greek yogurt to the dough can help maintain moisture.

Can I add other mix-ins to the dough? Absolutely! You can mix in other ingredients like nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips to customize the flavor of your bagels. Just be sure not to overload the dough to maintain its consistency.
