How to make Air Fryer Copycat Dunkin Donuts Stuffed Bagel Minis

Tips & Tricks

These were so easy and good, have you ever stuffed them with meat?
I have not yet. but I bet it would be delicious. I would love to hear your results if you give it a try. 🙂
Can you prepare the dough with (stuffed with cream cheese) the night before stored in the fridge and air fry in the morning?
You can make the dough up to 2 days in advance when not stuffing it. My best guess is yes, I think you should be able to make these in advance and then air fry in the am. I am going to put this on my list of things to test out, if you happen to try it first, I would love to hear your results. 🙂
@Melissa,
These where so easy, thank you for the recipe. I used my convection oven and were perfect.
Can you use flavored cream cheese instead of the block cream cheese?
Defintely!
Can you put them on two trays in the air fryer?
Yes if you air fryer can accommodate two tray, you will just want to alternate positions of the trays mid way so they are evenly cooking. sometimes the upper tray cooks a bit quicker.
