I really like Dempster’s Thin Bagels (you can read my review here) and was thrilled they sent me some more, as well include coupons for my readers which I gave away for my birthday! I hope the winners are enjoying them as much as I am.
This time they also sent me a recipe for their Thin Berry n’ Greek Yogurt Bagel. At first, I was worried. This looked like the kind of healthy snack other people love that I find boring.
I had to go out and buy Greek yogurt and raspberries for the recipe which are not cheap. Luckily I already had the cinnamon and honey.
I split a Cinnamon Raisin Thin Bagel and toasted it. I spread yogurt over one half and topped with raspberries, 2 tsp of honey and sprinkled with cinnamon befor adding the top half of the bagel.
OK, I was shocked. I loved it. I thought the plain yogourt was going to be bitter but the honey and cinnamon do tie everything together, making it quite creamy and delicious without being decadent when it comes to calories. And I love berries. During this long dark winter it was so beautiful to have the flavours of summer for breakfast.
I absolutely will make this again and am quite grateful, this is one of those snacks that will help me get through the day which is the kind of foodie treat I really need. To change it up they suggest adding chopped walnuts and replacing the honey with maple syrup. Yum! It is so simple and yet the possibilities are quite endless.
I give this recipe four and a half out of five wooden spoons. And am so pleasantly surprised to do so.
Oh… that DOES look yummy. I like thin bagels, too. Less doughy and more yummy.
Speaking of bagels, have you tried Tim Horton’s new maple bagel? I had one the other day. Omigawd, it was like dessert! Crunchy, sugary, mouth-tickling. SO DELISH.
I well remember buying real Jewish bagels in Winnipeg’s North End. TO DIE FOR!!
What a great combination, perfect for an afternoon boost when those cravings kick in for something sweet. This is way healthier than reaching for cookies or a candy bar. As for the greek yogurt and honey, they are a match made in heaven on their own and perfect with any add-ins like nuts and fruit.
I used my coupon and had them for breakfast. Yummy. Just enough bagel for me. I find regular sized bagels a bit too much. I will buy them again.
PS..I tried the cinnamon raisin.
Cathy, now you make me want to make my own maple bagel, sounds so good!
Debra, I felt the same way while I was in Montreal. The best!
Ava, it is much healthier and more sustaining, it’s true.
Linda, yay! So glad that you used your coupon and liked the bagel. This one is much more eatable in a lot of ways. Love the cinnamon raisin, so good!
