Ingredients you'll need
Here's everything that goes into this vegan blueberry muffin bagels. Scroll down to the recipe card for exact measurements and a printable version.
- 2 cups (250 g) Bread flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 cup (240 g) Unsweetened plain plant-based Greek-style yogurt
- 1 cup (150 g) Fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., soy or almond)
- 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp Melted vegan butter or plant milk, for brushing (optional)
How to make it
Follow these step-by-step instructions. Each step is written so you know exactly what to look, smell, and taste for.
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a small bowl or cup, combine the 1/4 cup of plant-based milk and 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Set aside for 5 minutes to curdle. This creates a vegan 'buttermilk'.
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the bread flour, baking powder, and salt.
- 4
Add the plant-based Greek-style yogurt and the vegan buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until a shaggy dough begins to form.
- 5
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
- 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 1-2 minutes until it comes together into a smooth ball. If the dough is very sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, but avoid adding too much.
- 7
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then poke a hole through the center with your finger. Gently stretch the dough to form a 1-inch hole, creating a bagel shape.
- 8
Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, brush the tops with melted vegan butter or a little plant milk for a golden finish.
- 9
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are puffed up and lightly golden. For a more browned, crusty top, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching very carefully to prevent burning.
- 10
Let the bagels cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain, toasted, or with your favorite vegan cream cheese.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?+
Yes, you can, but bread flour has a higher protein content which gives the bagels a chewier texture. All-purpose flour will result in a slightly softer, more muffin-like bagel.
Do I need to boil these bagels?+
No. This is a quick bagel-style recipe that skips the traditional boiling step. The result is a softer, more bread-like texture than a classic boiled bagel.
Can I use frozen blueberries?+
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Do not thaw them before adding them to the dough to prevent the dough from turning purple. You may need to add an extra minute or two to the baking time.
Can I make this Vegan Blueberry Muffin Bagels ahead of time?+
Yes. You can prep most components a day or two in advance and store them in airtight containers in the fridge. For best texture, assemble or warm just before serving — most elements keep well for 3–4 days refrigerated.
How should I store leftovers?+
Cool leftovers to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave, adding a splash of water or plant milk if it has dried out a little.
Can I freeze Vegan Blueberry Muffin Bagels?+
Most components freeze well for up to 2 months in a sealed freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat slowly. Avoid freezing fresh herbs, leafy greens, and creamy dairy-free sauces — add those fresh after thawing.
