Oh So Good Cinnamon Bagel

Filed under Breakfast by at 7:09 pm on Jan 21 2008

I don’t know if many of you like Panera’s cinnamon crunch bagel.  When I was creating this I had my sister-in-law, Christina, in mind. I had never had these bagels until she told me about them quite a few years ago. I love these bagels but after figuring points on one bagel and the light cream cheese, I made a decision to not eat one again for a very long time. I would rather have my version for 2 points vs. Panera’s for 8 points for just the bagel & 4 points for the light hazelnut cream cheese. Ouch! 12 points and I only get 18 daily points! You can see why I had to come up with this creation.

Ingredients

1 Western Alternative cinnamon spice bagel

several spritz of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter

dash of cinnamon

1 individual serving of WW cream cheese or 1 pt of a low-fat or fat free cream cheese

1 teaspoon of Splenda brown sugar blend

Split your bagel in half and toast. As soon as it comes out of the toaster, spritz with ICBINB spray. Mix cream cheese, Splenda, & cinnamon. Spread on top of bagel halves!

No, this is bagel is not as large as Panera’s and it is not dripping with cream cheese. But it is a very tasty & filling substitute. I don’t have any of the hazelnut sugar free syrup but you could put a drop of that in to the cream cheese to get a hazelnut flavor to your cream cheese mixture!

You can find the Western Alternative Bagels at Marsh in the bakery section or visit http://www.westernbagel.com/ to find a location near you or to order online. Make sure to get the alternative bagel and not their regular version!
