Method
Why I Like this Recipe
I like this recipe because it’s simple and easy to adapt. Everything bakes in the oven, so you don’t have to stand by the stove, and you can easily make a bigger batch for guests. The wholemeal bagels are filling, and the yoghurt and fruit keep it fresh. I often make this when I want something naturally sweet and healthy.
Tips and Variations
- You can use sourdough, brioche, or gluten-free bread instead of wholemeal bagels.
- Try baked apples or pears instead of bananas.
- For a vegan version, use oat milk, swap eggs for chia seeds, and choose coconut yoghurt.
- Try skyr or low-fat quark instead of natural live yoghurt.
- Use only egg whites instead of whole eggs to cut down on fat and calories.
- Add fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for more vitamins and a pop of colour.
- Top with a spoonful of natural live yoghurt or quark for a creamy, protein-rich finish.
- Drizzle agave syrup, honey, or maple syrup on top for natural sweetness.
Meal Storage
Store any leftover in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven or air fryer to keep it crisp.
Freezer tips
