Cinnamon Crunch Bagels Recipe
Ingredients
For the Bagels:
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 ½ cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
For the Cinnamon Crunch Topping:
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons cinnamon
How to Make Cinnamon Crunch Bagels
Make the Dough – In a large bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, flour, baking powder, and salt. A dough should begin to form. If it feels too sticky, add extra flour one spoonful at a time until it’s easy to handle.
Shape the Bagels – Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper and knead the dough a few times. Divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each piece into a log and connect the ends to form a bagel shape.
Prepare the Cinnamon Crunch Topping – In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, melted butter, and cinnamon until it forms a crumbly mixture.
Top the Bagels – Generously sprinkle the cinnamon crunch mixture over each bagel, pressing it slightly so it sticks.
Bake – Place the bagels on a lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Enjoy! – Let them cool slightly before slicing. These are amazing with a little cream cheese or butter!
Ways to Customize These Bagels
✨ Make them even sweeter – Add a drizzle of honey or a light powdered sugar glaze.
✨ Boost the protein – Use whole wheat flour or mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
✨ Try different flavors – Swap the cinnamon crunch for sesame seeds, everything seasoning, or blueberries in the dough.
✨ Make them dairy-free – Use a plant-based yogurt and dairy-free butter for the topping.
