Description

Enjoy a delightful twist on a classic favorite with these Air Fryer Churro Bagels. Crispy, toasted bagels topped with creamy cinnamon sugar cream cheese make for a perfect sweet snack or breakfast treat. Finished with a drizzle of honey or Nutella for an extra indulgent touch, this quick and easy recipe combines the warm, comforting flavors of churros with the satisfying texture of toasted bagels.

Ingredients

Scale

Bagel Base

  • 1 bagel, sliced in half

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese (more as desired)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar (adjust to taste)

Serving

  • Honey or Nutella for drizzling or dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 370°F (190°C) and allow it to heat up to ensure the bagels toast evenly.
  2. Prepare the bagel: Slice the bagel in half horizontally. Spread about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese evenly on the cut side of both bagel halves for a creamy base.
  3. Add cinnamon sugar: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar generously over the cream cheese on both halves. Adjust the amount based on your preferred sweetness and cinnamon intensity.
  4. Air fry the bagel: Place the bagel halves cream cheese side up into the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bagel is toasted to your desired level of crispiness and the cinnamon sugar has melted slightly into the cream cheese.
  5. Serve warm: Remove the churro bagels from the air fryer and serve immediately. Drizzle with honey or provide Nutella for dipping to complement the cinnamon and cream cheese flavors perfectly.

Notes

  • Adjust cinnamon sugar quantity to control sweetness and spice level.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer taste or light cream cheese for a lower-fat option.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with vegan cream cheese.
  • Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded to allow even toasting.
  • Serve immediately after air frying to enjoy the warm, crispy texture.
