Ingredients

1 can of chickpeas (don’t drain)

2/3 cups of soy milk or oat milk

3 1/4 cups self-rising flour

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/4 cup of sunflower seeds

2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds

1 tablespoon of chia seeds

1 tablespoon of ground flax

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400℉

2. Large parchment paper-lined baking sheet

3. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and salt

4. In a blender or NutraBullet, add the can of chickpeas (with the juice), soy milk, and olive oil and blend until smooth.

5. Pour that liquid mix into the flour mix and fold in the seeds. Stir until the mixture forms lumps, then place the dough on the counter. Knead the dough until a nice ball forms (soft, not sticky). If the dough is too dry, add a little soy milk or water.

6. Divide the dough into six equal parts and form into balls. Flour your hands to flatten the balls, push your thumb through the center, and swirl around to create your bagel shape.

7. Place the item on the parchment paper, brush the top with a bit of soy milk, and sprinkle on everything bagel seasoning (or just sesame seeds or poppy seeds, to your liking).

8. Bake 20-25 minutes at 400. Use a toothpick to check if the dough is baked through and golden on top.

9. Let cool and spread with Kite Hill cream cheese and cherry jam if your bagel flavor calls for it! Enjoy!!
