Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Self-Rising Flour (plus up to 1/2 cup extra for working the dough)
  • 1 cup Dairy-Free Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (plus extra for brushing the warm bagels)
  • ¾ cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Optional

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper using cooking oil spray. Set aside.
  2. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of self-rising flour, dairy-free Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract if using. Stir with a rubber spatula until the mixture forms a crumbly batter.
  3. Knead the Dough: Lightly oil your hands with olive oil to prevent sticking, then squeeze and knead the batter until it forms a soft, elastic dough. The dough might be sticky, which is normal.
  4. Incorporate Blueberries: Gently fold fresh or frozen blueberries into the dough, kneading lightly to incorporate without breaking the berries. When using fresh blueberries, the dough may become very sticky due to juice release; if so, add extra flour to manage stickiness. Flour your work surface and hands as needed for shaping.
  5. Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and press your thumb into the center to create a bagel hole. Arrange the bagels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them (about two thumbs-sized gaps) to allow for expansion in the oven. To keep the holes from shrinking, you may place a small piece of foil in the center of each bagel.
  6. Brush Bagels before Baking: Brush each bagel’s top with almond milk or any milk alternative of your choice for a light glaze.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the bagels puff up and develop a lovely golden-brown color.
  8. Add Sweet Glaze: Remove the bagels from the oven and immediately brush the warm tops with maple syrup to add a beautiful, sweet glaze.
  9. Cool: Transfer the bagels to a cooling rack and let them cool at room temperature for about 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • If your dough becomes too sticky due to fresh blueberries, gradually add more flour as needed to make it workable.
  • Using frozen blueberries can help minimize juice release and sticky dough.
  • The bagel holes tend to shrink during baking; placing a small piece of foil in the hole can help maintain their shape.
  • Brushing with maple syrup while warm gives the bagels a shiny, sweet finish.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk or milk alternative for brushing before baking.
