Copycat Cinnamon Crunch Bagel, a Panera Bread Inspired Breakfast. 

Copycat Cinnamon Crunch Bagel

I am a big fan of Panera! In fact, when working on our Best Copycat Panera Recipes, I was at Panera scarfing on a meal. You know, post inspiration!  One of my favorite things from Panera Bread is their  Cinnamon Crunch Bagel. It goes so well with their honey walnut spread. So delicious, it should make me feel guilty ordering it for dessert.

I wanted to take my favorite Panera Bread recipe and create a recipe for you to enjoy at home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
