• Just 4 ingredients – No added sugar, eggs, or yeast required.
• Naturally sweetened – Ripe bananas do all the work for flavor and moisture.
• Great for kids – Soft and easy to chew, perfect for toddlers and preschoolers.
• Quick to make – No rise time or kneading—ready in under 30 minutes.
• Freezer-friendly – Bake a batch, freeze, and reheat when needed.
• Banana – Adds potassium, vitamin B6, and fiber, while giving the bagels natural sweetness.
• Yogurt – Offers calcium, protein, and probiotics that support gut health. Use plain whole milk yogurt or a non-dairy version for dietary needs.
• Self-rising flour – Provides structure and lightness. Choose a whole wheat version if preferred.
• Wild blueberries – Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, with a bold flavor and small size ideal for little mouths.
• Use ripe bananas – The riper the banana, the sweeter and softer the bagel.
• Pat blueberries dry – If using frozen wild blueberries, don’t thaw; just fold them in gently.
• Avoid overmixing – Add the flour slowly, first 1 cup, then add another 1/2 cup and add more if you need more.
• Shape mini bagels – Great for small hands! Roll into balls, poke a hole in the middle, and gently stretch.
• Work on a floured surface – This dough is sticky and a little messy. Don’t be scared to add a nice amount of flour to surface when working with it.
• Plain – Soft and flavorful on their own for babies and toddlers.
• Topped with spreads – Try cream cheese, nut or seed butter, or jam.
• Split and toasted – For older kids, toast and serve with yogurt or a smoothie on the side.
• On the go – Pack into lunchboxes or diaper bags for a no-mess snack.
