How to Make It

Let’s create these delicious bagels step by step!

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F and line the basket with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Mix the Dough

Combine all dry ingredients together—Greek yogurt, almond flour, all purpose (or gluten-free) flour, baking powder, and sea salt—until a dough forms. Stir in the blueberries, folding them gently to distribute evenly through the mixture.

Shape the Bagels

Roll the dough into four equal balls. Slightly flatten each ball and use your thumb to form a hole in the middle, giving it that classic bagel shape.

Air Fry the Bagels

Place the shaped bagels in the air fryer basket. Create an egg wash by whisking the egg in a small bowl and lightly brush it on top of each bagel.

Air Fry

Air fry for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. For oven baking, place them in a preheated oven at the same temperature for 35-40 minutes.

Cool and Enjoy

Once done, let the bagels cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing them open. Enjoy fresh!

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Yes, they freeze well for up to a month.
Reheat: Microwave for low heat 15-20 seconds.

Tips for Best Results
