Oat Flour Bagels (Gluten-Free)

Our kids love bagels, which make a quick breakfast. We tested a gluten-free version using oat flour. Delicious. One half was blueberry cinnamon. The other half was garlic and sesame seed.

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups oats - ground with high speed blender (I often do this ahead of time and keep in a tuperwear for quick baking)

• 2 tsp baking powder 

• Salt 

• 1 cup Greek yogurt - plain but used flavour to give your bagel a flavour of choice (or you can use a dairy-free version)

• 1 egg

Directions

Mix ingredients. Add anything here - I did frozen wild blueberries and cinnamon in half) or you can leave plain and brush with egg whites or coconut oil and add your toppings Once mixed create a ball and turn over a few times and use more oat flour as it will be sticky. Separate into 4-6 balls and use slightly wet hands to roll in rope and place on greased pan. Bake @ 375 for 20 min and let cool.
