Print recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 to 1 bagel
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons finely shredded carrot
  • 1 teaspoon syrup
  • 1 teaspoon milk, if needed

Instructions:

  1. Toast the bagel.
  2. Finely shred or grate the carrot so it is tender and easy to eat.
  3. Mix cream cheese, carrot, syrup, and a tiny splash of milk if needed to soften the spread.
  4. Spread the carrot cream cheese mixture over the warm bagel.
  5. Serve open-faced.

Why it works: The carrot adds natural sweetness and texture, while cream cheese makes it feel a little like carrot cake.

Optional: Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger if available.
