    If you love bagels, but hate the work that it takes to make them, then prepare to have your mind absolutely blown. The Viral TikTok 2-Ingredient Air Fryer Bagel Bites are soft, pillowy, bite-sized bagels that are not only so simple and easy to whip up on a whim, but also happen to be gluten-free.

    Friends, let’s get one thing out of the way: I eat both gluten-free and gluten-filled foods. Why? Because I truly believe that life is about variety! Unless you have a gluten allergy, or are otherwise gluten-sensitive eating gluten-free isn’t always necessary. But, it can be healthier and gentler on our guts, which is why I often opt to eat gluten-free most days of the week!

    But even with that said, mastering the art of gluten-free baking and/or cooking can be rather difficult. It’s why my famous Best Ever Paleo Everything Bagels were a labor of love to develop, and are still one of my more complex recipes to make. And while I am adamant that they are absolutely worth the time and energy to make them, it’s not exactly a recipe that you can whip up on a whim. Luckily, these bagel bites are here for you.

    These bites, which I discovered on TikTok, thanks to @lilsipper and @bearinger, use only TWO ingredients, and are naturally gluten-free. Plus, they can easily be made vegan, and turn out just as good. Truly, there are very few times that I will say a recipe is perfect, but this one is pretty dang close.

    The Only 2 Ingredients That You Need For These Bagel Bites

    As mentioned above, you truly only need two ingredients to bring these bagels to life!

    • Gluten-Free Flour: The key to this recipe is using a 1:1 Gluten-Free baking flour. This recipe will NOT turn out the same with almond flour, oat flour, or any other gluten-free flour!
    • Yogurt: Whether you opt for dairy-filled or dairy-free yogurt, I recommend using one that has a thicker consistency, like Greek yogurt, for example.
    • Everything But the Bagel Seasoning: This is optional, but highly recommended! If you love everything-style bagels, then you’ll love coating these bites in this seasoning!

    How to Make These Quick & Simple Bagel Bites

    Making these bagel bites couldn’t be any easier! The first step is to decide whether you want to make them in an air fryer or an oven. Both turn out equally as well, though an air fryer is quicker! If using an air fryer, move onto the next step. But if using an oven, preheat your oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, set aside.

    Next, in a large bowl, mix together your gluten-free flour and yogurt until a dough forms. It will be on the stickier side, but that is okay!

    Grease your hands using a little bit of oil, so that the dough doesn’t stick to them, then use a spoon to scoop out a small spoonful of dough. Roll it in your hands until it forms a ball, then coat it in the everything but the bagel seasoning, if desired. Repeat until all of the dough has been rolled into balls!

    Finally, place your bagel bites into your air fryer basket, or line them up on your baking sheet. If using an air fryer, cook them at 350 F for 10-12 minutes. if using the oven, bake them for 16-18 minutes.

    Once done, let cool, and enjoy! And for the best bagel experience, I recommend breaking them in half and slathering them in cream cheese. Yum!

      These were a great alternative for a gluten free diet. The consistency wasn’t bagel-like, but they were easy to mix up and make, and perfect with cream cheese. They satisfied my bagel craving. NICE. I used Fage 0% milk fat yogurt and Blue Diamond almond flour. I live over 10,000 feet, and adjusted the cooking time in the air fryer to 12 minutes, and they came out perfectly.

      These were a big fail the recipe was easy to follow, it wasn’t that it was the result tried the everything version first off. This was the strangest taste, first it was great tasting then the taste changed drastically for the worse and it was so bland you didn’t want to continue eating them. I made some variation myself but all of them turned out the same, looked good but ended so bland tasting I just couldn’t stomach eating them. I just don’t know who would give these a five star rating for any type of taste cause they were flat no substance tasting.

      I made these as directed for 18 mins. Inside was like glue. So baked for 20 more minutes with same result. What am I doing wrong?
