Equipment

1 food processor
1 sheet pan

Ingredients

¼ cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie mix
1 ¼ cup all purpose flour* add more as needed**
¾ cup blended cottage cheese I used full fat 4%, 2% would also likely work. I don't recommend nonfat.
2 teaspoons baking powder*
¾ teaspoon salt*
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice can sub cinnamon

egg wash

1 egg beaten

Cinnamon sugar topping

2 tablespoon coconut sugar can sub brown sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice can sub cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add blended cottage cheese, maple syrup and pumpkin to a bowl. Whisk together until smooth.
In a separate bowl mix together flour, salt, pumpkin spice and baking powder. Pour the flour mixture into the cottage cheese mixture. Mix together until combined. I mixed with a spatula and then kneaded with me hands. You want the dough to be fully combined and not too sticky. Roll into a ball of dough.
Rinse any dough off hands. Split dough into 4 even pieces. Add some flour to your hands and roll each piece of dough into ¾-inch thick ropes and join the ends to form bagels. You want to make the hole in the middle at least 2 inches big otherwise your bagel will not have a hole.
Add bagels to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg (you will have a lot of egg leftover, I saved mine and scrambled it). Sprinkle over cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake bagels for 25-30 minutes and then let cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Add your favorite toppings and dig in!

Notes

*If you have self rising flour you can skip out on the salt and baking powder.

**Pumpkin puree has different liquid levels which can vary on the amount of flour needed. If your dough is super sticky add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it is workable,
