Cinnamon Raisin Bagels with Homemade Blueberry Chia Jam

These bagels go perfectly with a morning coffee! They are so easy to make and taste like a cafe style brekkie, only healthier. Fill them with homemade blueberry jam, almond butter and extra Greek yoghurt.

Bagel Ingredients:

• 110g plain greek yoghurt (sub coconut yoghurt for vegan)
• 100g self raising flour (or GF)
• 1 tbsp natural granulated sweetener or coconut sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup raisins, sultanas or currants

Topping, optional:

• 1 tsp butter, melted (could sub almond milk or egg wash)
• 2 tsp natural granulated sweetener
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Method:

1. Combine all ingredients together in a bowl. Fold mixture with a spatula until it forms a large ball.
2. Transfer to a floured bench and knead to form a dough (the dough shouldn’t stick to your hands so add a bit more flour if it is too wet or yoghurt if it’s too dry).
3. Divide the dough into 3-4 portions, roll each portion out into a long tube and then into a circle to join the ends.
4. Place onto a lined baking tray. Combine topping ingredients together in a bowl and brush over the bagels.
5. Bake in the oven at 180°C for 15-20 mins. Allow to cool before slicing and adding your chosen fillings.

• 200g frozen blueberries (raspberries or strawberries would also work)
• ¼ cup natural granulated sweetener
• 1 tbsp chia seeds

Method:

1. Pour your berries in a small pot & simmer over low-medium heat. 
2. Sprinkle over sweetener and chia seeds.  
3. Once berries are slightly defrosted, start to break them down with a fork or spatula. Once broken down, stir the mixture until well combined, turn off heat and allow it to cool. 
4. Transfer your jam to a jar and place in the fridge to set. Keep refrigerated for up to a week.
