Bagel donuts? What in the world are bagel donuts? These delicious bites of heaven are too fluffy to be called a bagel and too savory to be considered a donut, hence the hybrid name. Give them a try and you won’t care what they’re called as long as you can have seconds!

If you ask me in front of my kids, I’m calling them donuts. just a dash of sprinkles on top before being popped into the oven, meets the criteria for my littles. Alternatively, you can hold off on the topping pre-baking and spread some frosting on top after they’ve cooled a bit to take on more of the donut persona.

Personally, I’m a sucker for bagels. If you put both a gluten free donut and bagel in front of me, Im picking the bagel every single time. I enjoy these plain, but my favorite way to jazz it up is with a bit of cream cheese and lox.

You can also substitute the plain greek yogurt for flavored yogurts. Ive added Nutella to a bowl of yogurt and made Nutella bagel donuts topped with mini chocolate chips for the kids. I’ve also added cheese and then topped with pizza sauce for a pizza bagel donut. Well, at that point there’s nothing donut about them.

The better is super sticky! You’ll want to dampen your hands when molding these in a pan or shaping them by hand. I use this Wilton donut pan on Amazon. You could also, shape by hand and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. It won’t puff up the same way or look as polished, but I use this method to make Ryder breadsticks and it tastes the same.
