Cozy Morning Starter Pack: Blueberry Bagels with Blueberry Cream Cheese

Made with almond flour, Greek yogurt, and homemade blueberry jam

I’m not a morning person, but I am a breakfast person. Especially the kind of breakfast that feels like a little treat but doesn’t take a ton of effort. That’s exactly where these blueberry bagels come in.

This recipe came together one weekend when I had extra blueberries and zero interest in running to the store.

I started playing around with almond flour and Greek yogurt for the dough, added a quick homemade blueberry jam, and somehow landed on these soft, slightly sweet bagels that feel like something from your favorite local bakery.

But the real magic? The cream cheese. You mix in a spoonful or two of that same jam, and suddenly it’s this creamy, fruity, berry-streaked dream. It’s the kind of thing I keep going back to the fridge for, pretending I need “just a little more.”

These are perfect for slow mornings, brunch with friends, or honestly just eating over the sink in your pajamas. However you do it, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Let’s make some bagels.
