These cinnamon crunch bagels are the perfect little treat! They remind me of a healthier version of the cinnamon bagel from Panera bread. I eat these for breakfast, a snack, or for dessert. They are bite sized, which makes them great for people who are always on-the-go! If you wanted to make them super healthy, you could sub the butter for coconut oil, the brown sugar for coconut sugar, and the regular self-rising flour for gluten free self rising flour. However, I have not tested it using those ingredients. Or, you can always opt for higher quality ingredients (organic, grass fed, cage-free, etc.).
The bagel base is made using only two ingredients, and it is extremely easy to whip together. It is a great base for experimenting with other flavors. Instead of topping with the cinnamon/sugar/butter combo, you could top with Everything but the Bagel seasoning for a saltier and more savory option! However, I think everyone should try the cinnamon crunch bagels first. They are just too good!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups self rising flour
- 2 cups plain greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. water
- 2 tbsp. butter, melted
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar or coconut sugar (I get my coconut sugar from Thrive).
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and greek yogurt. Stir until well combined.
- Lay a lightly floured piece of parchment paper on a flat surface. Dump the dough out. Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the dough on a well-greased parchment lined baking sheet (you will likely have to cook in 2 batches).
- Mix the egg and water in a small bowl.
- Lightly brush all dough balls with the egg wash.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Brush the tops of the dough balls with the butter/sugar/cinnamon mixture.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the dough is cooked all the way through (you can use a toothpick to check doneness).
