Pioneer Woman Cinnamon Streusel Bagels Recipe Ingredients

For the Bagels:

• 6 mini bagels, split
• One 8-ounce block cream cheese, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste

For the Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup chopped pecan pieces
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch kosher salt
• 8 tablespoons salted butter, melted

For the Icing:

• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• Pinch kosher salt

How To Make Pioneer Woman Cinnamon Streusel Bagels

1. Prep the oven and bagels: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and place the 12 bagel halves on it, cut-side up.
2. Make the cream cheese spread: In a small bowl, mix together the room temperature cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste until smooth and well combined.
3. Spread the cream cheese: Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in a thin, even layer on top of each bagel half.
4. Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, pecan pieces, cinnamon, and salt. Drizzle in the melted butter while stirring with a fork. Continue to fold and stir until the mixture comes together into a crumbly streusel.
5. Assemble and bake: Sprinkle the streusel topping in an even layer over the cream cheese on each bagel half. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
6. Make the icing and serve: While the bagels bake, combine the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and salt in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Remove the hot bagels from the oven and immediately drizzle the icing over the tops. Transfer to a platter and serve warm.

Recipe Tips

• How to get a crispy streusel topping? Ensure you bake the bagels until the topping is a nice golden brown. The melted butter mixed into the oats and flour will crisp up beautifully in the oven.
• Can I make the components ahead of time? Yes. You can prepare the cream cheese spread and the dry streusel topping (before adding the butter) a day in advance. Store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. Just melt the butter and mix it into the streusel right before assembling.
• What kind of bagels work best? Mini bagels are great for a snackable size, but you can absolutely use regular-sized plain, cinnamon raisin, or even everything bagels for a sweet and savory twist.
• How to prevent the topping from burning? Every oven is different. Keep a close eye on the bagels during the last few minutes of baking. The sugar in the streusel can go from golden to burnt quickly.

What To Serve With Cinnamon Streusel Bagels

These sweet and decadent bagels are a treat all on their own. They are perfect for a special brunch or breakfast alongside:

• A hot cup of coffee or a latte
• A side of fresh fruit, like berries or sliced melon
• Savory scrambled eggs and crispy bacon to balance the sweetness

How To Store Cinnamon Streusel Bagels

Room Temperature: These bagels are best enjoyed fresh and warm from the oven. If you have leftovers, store them in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat: You can refresh the bagels by warming them in a 350°F oven or an air fryer for a few minutes until the topping is crisp again.
