It was just a few weeks ago that I found out and wrote a blog post about the brand new Kinnikinnick Soft Bagels. I checked a few local stores, but was not able to find the bagels in stock yet.
The gluten-free gods must have smiled down on me because I received samples of the new bagels earlier this week.

I didn’t waste any time sampling these babies! I had planned on a veggie burger for a fast dinner, so the plain bagel became my vehicle!
Look at that – so bagel-y! The outside has crisper “skin” and the inside is nice and chewy, just like a bagel should be! Breakfast was a given – blueberry bagel and cream cheese. Before I show you my breakfast, check out the bagel after I toasted it, before I spread it with cream cheese, it is purple from all of the blueberries!
Seriously delicious! I do believe that this is the first gluten-free blueberry bagel I have tried and it was spectacular! The bagel was thick, soft and chewy and had a wonderful blueberry flavor. Simply heaven! Last, but not least, the Cinnamon Raisin bagel. It was equally as impressive and tasty smeared with butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. What a nice treat!
In addition to being gluten-free, these bagels are also vegan, dairy- and nut-free. The bagels come 4 to a package and are priced at $5.99/package. They are currently available on the Kinnikinnick website and will be shipping to their distributors over the next few weeks. Remember that Kinnikinnick offers flat rate shipping for $10, so make sure to stock up on your favorites.
Have you tried the new Kinnikinnick Soft Bagels?
Celiac daughter gave these a big thumbs-up. She loves them toasted, but says they’re also great — and 100 per cent “bagel-y” — straight from the bag. She rates them much higher than Udi or Glutino, our previous choices. Kinnikinnick has raised the bar with all of its soft breads, buns and — now — bagels.
