I’m about to say something that we’ve all probably heard and said ourselves about a bazillion times over the last week or so, but …
Can you believe the summer’s just about over already???
Seriously. It went so fast this year. It’s like I blinked my eyes, and suddenly I’m buying notebooks and pencil cases.
What a fun summer it was though. I’m so grateful to Nutella and Mode Media for essentially sponsoring my summer here on Baking a Moment. We enjoyed so many yummy treats made with Nutella! Here’s a little recap:
1. Nutella Frosted Brown Butter Banana Whole Wheat Baked Donuts
2. Citrus-y Beer Pretzels with Nutella Dip
3. Nutella S’mores Tart
4. Nutella Yogurt Parfait Breakfast Popsicles
5. Coffee Macarons with Nutella Filling
6. Nutella Crepe Cake with Fresh Raspberries
That is a lot of different ways to enjoy Nutella, am I right?
But the truth is, the number one way Nutella is eaten, at my house anyway, is smeared on a little whole wheat mini bagel. It’s my 5 year old’s favorite breakfast and he eats it on the regular.
Since we talked about my favorite hobby in my last Nutella post (baking, duh), I thought it would be fitting to try and share the happiness baking brings me with a loved one. Since the little guy loves his mini bagels so, and working with dough is such a fun sensory thing for kids, we decided to tackle our own homemade version.
I made the dough and let it rise while they were at camp, so shaping the bagels was a fun afternoon activity for them. By the time we had formed all of them (we made 16 altogether), their attention spans had already run out and I was able to boil and bake them off in peace, while they played in the backyard and watched a Sponge Bob episode.
If you’re a regular reader here, then you probably already know that I’m no expert when it comes to baking with yeast. Give me cake any day, but when it comes to yeast, I haven’t a clue. So, instead of an original recipe developed by moi, I turned to the experts. Click here to follow the same recipe I used. It’s by my friend Sherri, who blogs at The Well Floured Kitchen. She’s an expert baker and she blogs a lot of great, healthy bread recipes, so I knew I could count on Sherri!
I found her tutorial to be easy to follow, and the result really blew us all away! My hubby is a real bagel snob aficionado, and he really thought they were great. Two thumbs up from Mr. Allie! I may never buy a bag of supermarket bagels again 😉

I am so so glad to hear you enjoyed the bagels! I can’t make enough of them around here, they get gobbled up so quick. Love the mini idea, and your kiddos making them are too cute. Thanks for sharing and the kind words 🙂
My pleasure, Sherri! Your recipe worked flawlessly and the bagels were a big hit here. Thanks for inspiring me!
How wonderful! I’ve been wanting to make my own bagels for a while now. I’ve just mastered the baguette so I’m going bread crazy trying to kinds of loaves. Will be checking out that recipe for future reference.
Love that you served these with a little nutella…everything is better with nutella! 😀
Have a lovely afternoon, Allie 🙂
Thank you so much! And I couldn’t agree more, Nutella is definitely a staple at my house. I hope you enjoy Sherri’s recipe- I thought it was so easy and I was thrilled with the result! Good luck!
I love mini bagels. And I especially love mini bagels topped with nutella! These look so yummy!
Thanks Monet! They really were. And the Nutella didn’t hurt, lol!
Adorable photos of your little men Allie!! And these bagels sound awesome. I’ve made homemade bagels once and fell in love … but just haven’t gotten around to doing it again! I need to get on this!
Thank you so much Ashley! They had a lot of fun getting into that dough. 😉
Your lil guys are too cute, Allie, and such fabulous kitchen helpers! Your mini bagels are perfect – they look just as good if not better than store-bought. I’ve had bagels on my to-bake list for a long time. Looks like I need to try Sherri’s version! Good call on smearing them with Nutella. Yum!
I think you’ll love Sherri’s recipe, Nancy! It was easy peasy and the result was fabulous. They didn’t last too long around here! Thanks so much for the sweet compliments 😉
Allie, it’s almost frightening how quickly this summer flew by! I can’t believe it’s practically fall–though I am super excited for fall baking to begin 🙂 These bagels look like heaven!!
Thank you Amy! I know I feel like it just went by way too quickly this year. Today was in the 90’s though, so even though school has started, I just don’t feel like fall has. But I’m starting to get excited for all the fall things, so hopefully those crisp days will be upon us soon!
Kids are adorable little helpers! Love the idea of Nutella on a bagel but then again I pretty much love Nutella on everything! 🙂
Happy Wednesday!
Thanks Melanie! I feel the same way, lol! Hope you’re enjoying the long weekend, girl 😀
They look great! I definitely think that these could get away as a healthy + balanced snack 🙂 They remind me of scones!
Oh ya, definitely! They’re like a scone only a bit chewier/breadier. If that’s a word, lol! Thanks so much, Tashiana!
Aww these little bagels are super cute! I just love nutella – never thought to have it on my bagel before! Will have to try.
Oh yes you must! Your bagel will never be the same, lol! Thanks, Jessica 😉
Nutella on a bagel may be my favorite way to enjoy it too! I love the pictures of your boys making the bagels. So fun and personal!
Thanks Mallory! They had a lot of fun smooshing that dough, lol!
Aaaw, the lil guys look so adorable shaping the bagels 🙂 I love that they’re whole wheat and mini and smearing them with all that yummy Nutella is just perfect 🙂
Thanks Kelly! They love getting their hands into stuff like that. 😉
That’s so cute you got the kids on shaping the bagels…until Sponge Bob took over. haha I love a good bagel, and these would be great in my kid’s lunches, too!
Oh sure they’re just the right size for little tummies! Thanks so much, Marcie! Hope you’re enjoying the holiday weekend 😉
These bagels are awesome, Allie! I have always wanted to try homemade bagels. 🙂 I love all the Nutella-themed recipes you’ve posted! Sometimes I still think about that Nutella S’mores Tart. I need to make it asap!
Sometimes I still think about it too, lol! That was probably one of my favorite recipes of the whole summer. Thank you so much my dear!
Awwww the boys are too cute!! H looks so proud of his perfectly formed bagel :0
Thank you Zainab! He loved it. And I loved watching them, lol!
First off, I must say, you have the same shopping (and baking!) mindset as I do. I have that same colorful towel or at least something very similar to it in one of my Easter posts from a year ago. Just had to point that out 🙂
I think, you and I would have no problems shopping together. Let’s just hope there’s two of everything HA!
Likewise with eating Nutella on something as simple as bread. Your bagels look wonderful and I love the photos of your kids making them. So cute!
Thanks Connie! We had a lot of fun creating this post. I always love when the kids can get involved. And that’s so funny that you have the same cloth! Great minds 😉
I love all of your nutella recipes! These mini bagels are so cute and look delicious! What a perfect breakfast or snack. It looks like you guys had so much fun making them together!
Every time I go to the grocery store, I leave convinced I need to be making all of our breads at home… and then at home, my resolve… well, it’s less resolved (which is unfortunate, because holy ingredient panels with 40 funky things I don’t want to eat!). Thanks for re-resolving me to bagel-making! 🙂
I am the same way, Jessica, don’t feel bad! I’ve been wanting to get into it foreeeeeever, but I always just thought it seemed like a ton of work. I was pleasantly surprised! Sherri’s recipe was easy as can be 😉
Awhh awhh your kids are so adorable! And so are the bagels! I love how they’re mini and cute AND wholewheat. What a treat! They look delicious with that nutella layer! But is there anything which cannot be improved with a big smear of nutella? xxx
Lol thank you so much Consuelo! We are big into whole wheat mini bagels with Nutella around here 😉
Girl I would slather those delicious bagels with so much cream cheese and nutella, it wouldn’t even be funny. Your bagels are perfection!
Thank you Jocelyn! I’m not much of a bread-baker, so I was really surprised by how well they came out 😉
awwww those pics are so precious!!!! Love these tasty lil bagels full of nutella!
Thanks Kayle! The Nutella definitely makes them 😉
