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

Wrap portions tightly in foil or parchment, then freeze. When you’re ready to eat, reheat straight from the freezer.
