FAQs
Can I make this without an immersion blender?
Yes! Just mix everything really well by hand until smooth and creamy. The texture won’t be quite as whipped, but it still works great.
Can I use a different bagel?
You can, but using @eatroyo bagels keeps this recipe lower in carbs and calories while adding more fiber and balance.
Is this recipe refined sugar free?
Yes, if you’re using coconut sugar in the glaze. It gives that classic cinnamon sugar flavor with a less processed option.
Can I make this ahead of time?
This is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep the filling ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 2–3 days.
Can I air fry this instead of baking?
Yes! Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 5–7 minutes, checking halfway through so it doesn’t over-brown.
How do I make it higher in protein?
Add a little extra Greek yogurt to the filling or pair it with a protein like eggs or turkey sausage on the side.
