This easy bagel recipe is vegan and gluten-free friendly! To make 2-ingredient vegan bagels, use plain and unsweetened non-dairy yogurt. To make 2-ingredient gluten-free bagels, use gluten-free flour.

We love topping them with either everything bagel seasoning or cinnamon sugar! Everything bagel seasoning creates a savory and toasty flavor thanks to tasty ingredients like dried onion, garlic, seeds, and salt. The cinnamon sugar version is a classic sweet bagel flavor that will melt in your mouth.

Two Ingredient Bagel Ingredients
This homemade bagels recipe includes two simple ingredients, plus an optional topping. Here's what you'll need:
- Yogurt: To keep these bagels vegan-friendly, we're using a plain plant-based, non dairy yogurt. If you're not concerned with them being vegan, feel free to use any plain and unsweetened Greek yogurt or regular yogurt.
- Flour: You'll need 1 cup all purpose flour for this recipe. If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, coconut flour, baking flour, etc.
Topping options: For extra deliciousness, we recommend topping these with melted butter and everything seasoning before baking. Enjoy them plain or choose between homemade everything bagel seasoning (recipe listed below), store-bought everything bagel seasoning, or cinnamon sugar bagels (recipe below) to flavor your bagels.
How to Make 2-Ingredient Bagels
To make bagels from scratch, you'll need a couple of mixing bowls, a baking sheet and some parchment paper. Here's the simple process:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350. If using, prepare your melted vegan butter by melting it in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix your everything bagel seasoning (or use store-bought).
Step 2: Mix the 2 ingredient bagel dough by using a fork to mix the non dairy yogurt and flour together until a thick dough forms. If the dough is too wet and sticky, add another 2-4 tablespoon of flour until it rolls easily. Use your hands to roll about ¼ cup of dough into a ball.
Then, press your thumb into the center of the ball of dough to create a 1 inch hole. The shape should resemble a bagel. Place each bagel onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3: If you are making everything bagels, brush the tops of the unbaked bagels with melted regular or vegan butter and then sprinkle the tops with everything bagel seasoning (about ½ tablespoon each + more to taste). If you are making cinnamon sugar bagels, leave the plain. Then, while the bagels bake, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping and melted vegan butter.
Step 4: Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the bagels are lightly golden on the bottom. To give the bagels more color, you may broil them for 1-2 minutes at the end. If making cinnamon sugar bagels, use a pastry brush to brush the baked bagels with melted vegan butter before rolling the top of the bagel in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Step 5: Let the bagels cool before slicing an enjoying warm. Spread them with vegan butter or cream cheese.
