Have I mentioned before that I love bagels? I wish I had them on hand at all times. I recently shared a recipe for sourdough bagels with strawberry cream cheese.
The sourdough bagels are great! But not if you’re gluten free.
So I figured I better come up with a gluten free recipe too. This is my “whole wheat” bagel that is soaked (for your digestion), gluten free, dairy free, nut free and corn free. The teff gives a wheat flavor and color to the bagel.
The outside is a bit chewy. The inside is soft. The texture is perfect for kids – not too hard to chew.
I used a donut pan to make these bagels. If you don’t have a donut pan you can make them in a muffin pan – there just won’t be a hole in the middle.
Homemade bagels are great for a quick breakfast or they are easy to pack up for a school lunch.
Bagels also freeze well. So you can make a double or triple batch and keep your freezer stocked for easy meals.
Try the bagels with a variety of toppings – butter, coconut oil, jam, cream cheese, cashew butter or nut butter. You can also turn it into a sandwich with egg salad, salmon salad, chicken salad or locally made lunch meat.
You really can’t go wrong with a bagel. And this version is safe for almost everyone! An added bonus is that there are no gums or fillers in these bagels. Just pure, simple ingredients.

I don’t have a bagel or donut pan. At what ratio should I increase the amount of dry to make them able to be rolled and cut out? Please and thank you.
