Vegan & gluten-free Bagels

These tasty vegan & gluten-free bagels are an absolute winner. They’re way healthier than your regular old bagel, and will have you coming back for more. Soft, chewy, and incredibly delicious, to make things even better try them with vegan cashew cream cheese or vegan butter. These will become a breakfast staple for you!


Vegan gluten-free Bagels

There’s nothing better than enjoying some freshly toasted bagels, except for enjoying freshly toasted homemade vegan and gluten-free bagels. Yup, you heard it right, these tasty looking bagels are gluten-free! For the longest time I’ve been wanting to develop a gluten-free and plant-based recipe for bagels. My husband is a huge fan and has been begging me for months. So here we are. 

Vegan gluten-free Bagels

For this recipe I used a gluten-free flour blend of brown rice flour, gluten-free oat flour, tapioca flour, and corn starch. To make things easier or as an alternative you could sub the oat flour with brown rice flour and potato starch would work as a corn starch replacement. If you are team grain-free but allow eggs try these Sesame baked Bagels

As a binding agent I used whole psyllium husk. It’s a great gum-free alternative. If mixed with liquid it basically turns into gel. Perfect for gluten-free baking. 

To make the recipe completely plant-based, instead of using an egg wash I decided to brush the bagels with a bit of olive oil. Finish them off with your favorite toppings and you got yourself a winner.

How to prepare vegan & gluten-free bagels

In a small saucepan heat cashew milk until warm. Make sure to not overheat the milk. You don’t want to kill the yeast. If you don’t have any milk on hand, you can always use warm water. 

Pour into a bowl. Add agave syrup and yeast. Mix and set aside for about 10 minutes until yeast activates and foams. If it doesn’t get foamy, try a new package. As more food for the yeast,  you could also use a tablespoon of cane sugar or maple syrup. 

While your yeast is doing its thing, add brown rice four, oat flour, tapioca flour, corn starch, whole psyllium husk, salt and baking powder into a large mixing bowl or stand mixer with a dough attachment. I used my KitchenAid but you can easily just mix the dough in a mixing bowl. Add the yeast milk mixture and apple cider vinegar. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough comes together. Continue kneading with your hands until it forms a smooth ball. If it appears too dry and won’t take shape, add a bit of water.

Divide the dough into 6 pieces and shape each into a ball. With your thumb create a hole in the center. Transfer onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and cover with a dish towel or plastic wrap. Let rest in a warm area for about 60 minutes.

Once the bagels are done rising, bring a medium sized pot of water to a boil and preheat the oven to 425F. With a slotted spoon drop 2-3 bagels at a time into the water. Boil for about 45 seconds, then flip them and boil for another 45 seconds. Transfer back onto the baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with either everything seasoning, sesame, coarse salt or poppy seeds. Bake on the middle rack for about 25-30 minutes until the bagels are golden brown.

Slice leftover bagels and store in an airtight ziplock bag in the freezer. Best to enjoy freshly toasted and topped with delicious vegan cashew cream cheese. Yum, I am drooling, just thinking about it.
