Soft, chewy bagels infused with pumpkin puree, hearty oats, and warm pumpkin spice—perfect for cozy autumn mornings.

Ingredients

2 ¼ cups organic all-purpose flour

2 ½ cups organic bread flour

1 cup organic rolled oats

1 packet rapid-rise yeast

1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or other milk), room temperature

3 tablespoons organic cane sugar

1 tablespoon organic brown sugar

¼ cup warm water

¾ cup organic pumpkin puree (not pie filling)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon homemade pumpkin spice blend

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix warm water with a pinch of sugar. Sprinkle in the yeast and let sit until foamy (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cane sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin spice.
  3. Stir in the foamy yeast, all-purpose flour, bread flour, rolled oats, and sea salt until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 10–15 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
  5. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1–1½ hours.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Shape into balls, then poke a hole in the center and stretch to form a bagel shape.
  7. Place shaped bagels on a lined baking sheet, cover loosely, and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
  8. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil; optionally add 1 tablespoon sugar or baking soda for crust gloss.
  9. Boil bagels in batches, 1 minute per side, flipping halfway through.
  10. Return boiled bagels to the baking sheet. Optionally brush with egg wash and sprinkle with oats.
  11. Bake for 15–20 minutes until deep golden brown.
  12. Cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

Boiling is essential for chewy texture and shiny crust.

For dairy-free bagels, use almond milk or another plant-based milk.

Refrigerate shaped bagels overnight before boiling for deeper flavor.

Top with oats, seeds, or seasoning blends before baking.
