3 Ingredient Bagels are a quick, delicious, and protein-packed breakfast option. These are made with Greek yogurt, flour, and baking powder, no yeast, no kneading, no boiling. They have a great chewy texture, are delicious, a feel-good treat, and so quick to make.

Ingredients

  • 1 cupall-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoonsbaking powder
  • 1 cupplain greek yogurt
  • ½ teaspoontable salt (optional but recommended)
  • 1egg (lightly beaten; optional)
  • everything but the bagel seasoning (optional or onion flakes, sesame seeds, grated cheese, cinnamon)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with olive oil or cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Mix the flour, baking powder, yogurt, and salt (if using) in a large bowl until a crumbly dough forms. Don’t overmix. Knead lightly with your hand a few times to bring it together, making sure that the flour and yogurt are evenly combined. The dough will be a little sticky.

  3. 3

    You can add a little more flour if you feel it’s needed, but just add a small amount, about 1 tablespoon at a time.

  4. 4

    Coat your hands with a little flour as you work to keep the dough from sticking to them.

  5. 5

    Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll into balls, then roll each ball into a log, about 8 inches long, and form a circle. Place on the prepared baking sheet. The bagels expand when they bake so make sure they have plenty of room, about 2 inches apart, or they’ll stick together.

  6. 6

    Optional: Brush with egg and sprinkle with seasoning.

Oven

  1. 1

    Bake for 24-26 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Air fryer

  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 350° F. Once preheated, gently place the formed bagels in the air fryer basket (they can be placed on a parchment paper liner that’s sprayed with olive oil or nonstick spray if desired), leaving enough room between the bagels for the to expand, about 2 inches apart. Don’t crowd the air fryer. Cook the bagels in batches.

  2. 2

    Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting and topping them.
