Air Fryer Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bagel Bites

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bagel Bites are soft homemade bagels that are filled with cream cheese then toasted in the air fryer. These stuffed bagels make for an amazing breakfast or snack.  

Bagel bites are a popular breakfast or snack food that Dunkin Donuts offers. Our Brownie Batter Dunkin Donut Copycat recipe is definitely worth a look. They also offer many varieties of bagels to choose from.

You can order either plain bagels, whole wheat, cinnamon raisin, multi-grain, poppy seed, everything and more! For my copycat version I decided to make plain bagel bites stuffed with cream cheese and everything stuffed bagels.

These bite sized bagel bites with cream cheese come together quickly and are then cooked in the air fryer. They are a great make ahead breakfast or snack idea that you can freeze and cook later for an easy breakfast.
