Homemade Cinnamon Sugar Bagel Bite Ingredients
This homemade cinnamon sugar bagel bites recipe uses minimal ingredients, plus an optional cinnamon sugar topping. Here's what you'll need:
- Yogurt: If you are vegan, use your favorite unsweetened non-dairy yogurt. If you are not vegan, feel free to use a plain and unsweetened dairy based yogurt. If you want to make these higher protein, you may also use greek yogurt.
- Flour: All purpose flour works well here, however you can make these bagel bites gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour. I recommend using a measure-for-measure gluten-free flour like King Arthur's.
- Toppings: Melted butter, coconut or cane sugar, cinnamon.
How to Make Two Ingredient Bagel Bites
To make your 2-ingredient bagel bites with cinnamon sugar from scratch, you'll need two mixing bowls, a baking sheet, and parchment paper. Here is how to make it:
Step 1: Use a fork to mix the yogurt and flour together until a thick dough forms. If the dough is wet and sticky, add another 2 tablespoons of flour until it rolls easily. Use your hands to roll about 1 tablespoon of the dough into a ball. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Step 2: If air frying, preheat to 375 F and bake for 10 minutes. If baking in an oven, preheat to 350 F. Place the formed bagel bites onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. You'll know that they are done when they slide easily off the paper and you can break one open to make sure it is completely done. You can also broil at the end for 1-2 minutes to give them a bit more color and crust.
Step 3: While you are baking your bagel bites, microwave butter in a small bowl. Then, in a separate bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar. Once the bagel bites have cooled, roll each ball in the butter and then toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Enjoy warm!
