What toppings pair well with cinnamon raisin bagels?
Peanut butter or almond butter are the most popular spreads for those who like a little bit of sweetness with their savory bagel.
The combination of the almond or peanut butter with the sweet raisins makes for a tasty twist on your traditional cinnamon raisin bagels with butter.
Cream cheese is a classic topping for cinnamon raisin bagels too. Plain cheese is hard to mess up but you can get creative by adding various herbs or spices like chives, garlic, or smoked salmon (lox) to create different taste profiles.
For something slightly lighter, try avocado on your cinnamon raisin bagel– the healthy fats in the avocado will help to balance out the sweetness of the bagel.
Cinnamon raisin bagels aren’t very popular on breakfast sandwiches because the bagels are a little sweet and can throw off the sandwich’s meat and cheese.
Do you like to eat your cinnamon raisin bagels toasted or untoasted?
Toasting a cinnamon raisin bagel brings out the richness of the raisins while also giving it a crispy texture.
If you like your bagels to be softer, leave them untoasted for a more pillow-like feel.
Everything boils down to your personal preferences!
