How To Make Air Fryer Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

Find the complete recipe with measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Step One: Soak the Raisins
  Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for about 5-10 minutes.
• Step Two: Prep the Dough
  In a medium-sized bowl, mix together your all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Then, grab your Greek yogurt and stir it into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon.
• Step Three: Add the Raisins
  Rinse your raisins and fold them into the yogurt mixture. Then, use your hands to knead the dough into a ball. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of yogurt. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour.
• Step Four: Shape the Bagels
  Dust your counter or some parchment paper with a little flour. Place the dough on the surface and cut it into four equal sections using a knife or dough cutter. Roll each section into a rope about 8 inches long, then pinch the ends together to make a circle.
• Step Five: Air Fry the Bagels
  Place all four bagels in your air fryer basket. If you’re using a basket-type air fryer, you might need to cook them in two batches. Set the air fryer to 300°F and cook for about 12-14 minutes.
• Step Six: Cool and Serve
  Let the bagels cool for 10-15 minutes. Once they’re cool, slice them up and spread on some cream cheese, or toast them for that perfect bagel crunch!

Recipe Tips

Here are a few tips to make these bagels even better:

• Use self-rising flour – If you have it, you can skip the baking powder and salt by using 1 cup of self-rising flour instead.
• Watch the dough consistency – If it feels too dry, add a little more yogurt; if it’s too sticky, sprinkle in some extra flour.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer – If you’re using a basket-style air fryer, cook in two batches to give the bagels space to crisp up.
• Let them cool before slicing – Giving them a little time to cool makes slicing easier and keeps them from falling apart.

Storage and Freezer Instructions

Here’s how to store and freeze your bagels:

• Storing – Keep any leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. They’ll stay fresh and soft for a couple of days, but I recommend toasting them for that just-baked feel.
• Freezing – For longer storage, freeze the bagels. Just let them cool completely, then wrap them individually in plastic wrap or foil and place them in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to eat, pop them in the toaster or air fryer to warm them up.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use a different type of yogurt? Yes, you can use any type of Greek yogurt (different flavors or fat percentages). Regular yogurt is too runny and thin for this recipe.
• Can I make these bagels without raisins? You can leave out the raisins completely or swap them for another mix-in like dried cranberries or chocolate chips.
• Can I bake these in the oven instead? Yes. If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the bagels at 375°F for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
• Can I make the dough ahead of time? You can prep the dough ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just let it come to room temperature before shaping and air frying.
