Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup light buckwheat flour
- 1 cup oat flour
- ⅔ cup arrowroot flour/starch
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 3 Tbsp. coconut finely shredded
- 3 Tbsp. flax seeds ground
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- ½ tsp. nutmeg
- ½ tsp. cloves
- ½ tsp. ginger powder
Wet Ingredients
- 15.5 ounces pureed pumpkin 1 can
- 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
- 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- Cornmeal for dusting optional
Maple Walnut Cream Cheese
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 1 tsp. maple extract
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 3 Tbsp. walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚ F. In a large pot, heat 4 cups of water to a boil. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and dusting with cornmeal.
- In a large bowl, combine the flours, arrowroot starch, sugar, coconut, flax seeds, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Mix well.
- In a medium bowl, combine the wet ingredients.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and using a large spoon, stir until the flour is completely mixed in. The batter will be slightly sticky.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal pieces.
- Wet your hands slightly and shape each piece into a ball. Stick your thumb through the middle and continue to form into a bagel shape.
- Drop each newly formed bagel into the pot of boiling water.
- Boil for 60 seconds and remove with a slotted spoon. Place on the prepare baking pan.
- Bake the bagels for 20 minutes.
Prepare the maple walnut cream cheese:
- In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese, maple extract and maple syrup. Blend well. Fold in the walnuts.
- Spread on cooled bagels.
Notes
- The bagel dough will be sticky. Use a bit of water if it's too sticky to handle.
- Use a large pot for boiling the water - you want the bagels to have enough room to float around while boiling.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the bagels from the boiling water and carefully place on the prepared baking pan.
- The bagels will not get much darker than they are after they're boiled.
