    Low Carb Pumpkin Bagels

    Grain free, gluten free, low carb pumpkin bagels with paleo version. So good!

    Low Carb Pumpkin Bagels- Pumkin Spice bagels, low carb and paleo.

     Low Carb Pumpkin Bagels are grain free, starch free, nut free, with dairy free and paleo options. A great way to enjoy the beginning of Fall with a healthy, low carb, pumpkin bagel. These were tasty served with butter, cream cheese or coconut butter.

    I do recommend refrigerating them overnight before slicing in half and serving. It seems to make them more sturdy and even enhances the flavors. Since I didn't use any gums in the recipe, the refrigerating overnight really helps.

    We did eat some before refrigerating and they were good, but a little more delicate, and a less intense flavor. You could, however, use a ½ tsp xanthan gum, if you tolerate it well. I  didn't use it, as I don't always tolerate it well.

    I was going to post this recipe earlier, but I just was not ready for it to be October yet. Now it's here, and I need to get organized, and ready for all the holidays. Which means a few pumpkin recipes, of course!

      Made these this morning, they were good but I did not feel like they had a bagel texture at all- def more muffin. Also, it made only 5 in my doughnut pan. Next time I willprob create a glaze and treat these like cake doughnuts. Taste was great!

        Hi Bobbi, Thank you for your kind words. I feel your pain, my food allergies are not fun. I use coconut flour because it is one of the few flours I don't have an issue with. You can use almond flour but will need to use 4 times as much as the coconut flour amount. You will also need to reduce the amount of eggs in the recipe to 1 or 2, adding 1, and then check texture of batter before adding a second one (coconut needs a lot of eggs but almond flour does not). Sorry, it is not the easiest conversion.

        Hi Diane, It might be a little thin in a muffin top pan. They might fall apart without a little deeper pan. You could use a large muffin or bun pan though.

      I have tried this recipe 2 times now. Once in a muffin pan, then a mini muffin pan. Both times I cannot seem to get them to cook all the way threw. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? The minis even cooked twice as long. And were cut in half.

        Hi Casey,
        The baking times are for the bagel pan, which is a pretty shallow pan. If using a muffin pan the time will need to be adjusted according to how large or deep the muffin pan is, and it can also vary according to your kind of oven & how evenly it heats. Some ovens bake slower or much faster. I suggest checking with a toothpick in center (if it comes out clean, it is done, butif batter is sticking to it, then it needs longer). I used to have an oven that would never get baked good done in the middle and now I have oven that bakes great, but it is much faster than the other one, and I have to careful not to burn everything, lol.

        It's finally feeling like fall in Florida so I made the pumpkin bagels again-I love them and have missed them! I realized i neglected to add the milk until they were in the pan. I think they were even better and moister!

      Hi, thank you for your great recipes.I am a stay home mom who likes to feed my family healthy choices as much as my budget will allow me. I noticed you couldn't tolerate xanthan gum and I had found an alternative. While browsing the internet I came upon psyllium husk and found that breads, pizza dough, rolls, pasta all do well with a touch of psyllium. And it is not expensive. If you cant tolerate xanthan gum, this is the next best thing. Just thought I would share that with you. I hope this helps.

        Melissa, I have not used chickpea flour in this, but I think you would need to use 3 times as much as the amount of coconut flour. I have read that it is a 1:3 ratio. Not sur how it would taste, but it seems like it would have a mild flavor. Let me know if you give it a try.

      HI Stacey,
      My favorite thing about bagels is the "skin" as the result of them being boiled. Is there a way to boil these to get that trademark bagel flavor? Or are these more like a quick bread in a bagel shape?

        Nicole, I think about that bagel skin, and how much I miss it. I have not tried boiling them, but was thinking it would be a soggy mess. But I am thinking that if I brush the tops with beaten egg yolk, it might simulate that skin effect. I am going to try it soon and update the recipe if it works.

        Hey GiGi, I have tried chia and flax eggs before and they do not work well with these because the coconut flour needs an egg to bind it together. I am not sure about the milk of choice and water substitution. Love your show on YouTube!

        Rona , I do use 2 pans, but some people have bagel pans that have 12 portions, so then you could use one pan. If you have just one 6 hole pan, then you could make 6 and bake the other two after removing the the first batch. I had planned one 6 but there was batter left over.

      Thank you so much for such a wonderful recipe. I am going to make another batch to use up the rest of the pumpkin. Do you know if these will freeze well? I would like to make them ahead in the future and have them handy for the kids in the morning or for a after school snack.

        Jacalyn, thank you so much for the great feed back! My kids love them too. I do freeze them in a freezer bag with either a small piece of parchment or wax paper between them. And then just take out as needed the night before and put in the fridge to defrost. Have now tried reheating from frozen though, as I don't think that even works out well with conventional breads.

      Hey! I am definitely excited to make these soon. I am keto, and lunches have definitely become a bit of a challenge without a bread option. I'm wondering how sweet these are, with the pumpkin. Would savory cream cheeses, or using them for like a turkey sandwich be weird? have you tried swapping out the pumpkin for something else (I have no idea what would work in its place)?

      Thanks for this recipe and your others. I was particularly pleased to see you mention xanthan gum as it seems to be in so many things and it makes me very very sick. I don't often run across other people who are aware that people can have bad reactions to it.

        You are so welcome. Xanthan gum hates me too, which makes GF baking a little tricky. The good news is that it does not change the taste when you leave it out, it just changes the texture a little. I have heard of others having issues with it too.

      These look good, I will have to buy a donut pan for these, check out "All Day I Dream About Food", she has a coconut donut recipe that i think will interest you, baking donut then deep frying, she's in the same camp as baked donuts tasting like muffins too.....thanks for sharing this recipe!

        Hello Patricia, Thank you for commenting, and giving a shout out to the amazing Caroline at "All Day I Dream About Food". I did see those yummy, coconut donuts on pinterest and pinned them. I have not made them yet, but I intend to. They look so good! She is so sweet too. I need to go and check them out and give them a go.
        Sincerely,
        Stacey

        Hi Linda, You could try almond flour, but you will have to use a larger amount than the coconut flour. But, I haven't tried it yet so I'm not sure of the results or exact amounts, possibly 1 cup. It may would take a few trials. Let me know if you try it out. thank you for commenting.
        Sincerely,
        Stacey

        Hi Kate,
        Thank you for commenting and giving these a go! I still haven't made any donuts with the pan. I tend to think that baked donuts may just taste more like muffins than donuts.
        Sincerely,
        Stacey
