Cinnamon Honey Cream Cheese Spread for Bagels

In my family, I have a husband and a niece that love honey, so after creating the Orange Marmalade spread for bagels posted on 2/10/2014, I thought maybe a honey and cinnamon concoction might work well as a spread. When this idea was mentioned to my niece she responded positively, so I bought some Cinnamon Raisin bagels with this thought in mind. The extra cinnamon and the sweet raisins are a wonderful complement to the cinnamon and honey in the spread. We really enjoyed the bagels alongside applesauce for breakfast this morning. Blessings...

Recipe:

3 oz. low-fat cream cheese, softened
4 tsp. mild honey
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp. finely chopped pecans
3 to 4 cinnamon raisin bagels

1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy with an electric mixer.
2. Beat in honey and cinnamon. Taste to see if the balance in flavor is right for you and your family.
3. Stir the pecans in with a spoon. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Yield: Enough spread for 3 to 4 bagels depending on how thick you like your cream cheese. Yummy!
