Ingredients
2 1/2 cup
Steel cut oats, dry
2 tbsp
Chia seeds
4 medium
Egg
(free-range organic)
1 cup
Kefir
1/4 cup
Honey, raw
(local, wild)
1/4 cup
Lemon juice
1 tbsp
Cinnamon
(ground)
6 date(s)
Dates
(pitted)
2 1/4 tbsp
Baking powder
1 dash
Celtic sea salt
(just a pinch)
1/2 cup
Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
Instructions
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a dry blender, blend the oats and chia seeds separately until finely powdered. The oats should feel like flour, not grainy, so keep blending until you achieve this consistency. Add to a medium bowl and set aside.
In another mixing bowl add the eggs, yogurt, lemon juice, honey, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Whisk until combined.
Chop the dates. Add these and the pumpkin seeds to the wet mixture.
Add the dry to the wet and stir until well combined.
Grease the donut pan with a little bit of ghee.
Using a spatula, add the mixture to a piping bag or large ziplock with the tip cut off. Pipe into the donut pan, the more shallow you pipe it, the more crispy your bagels will be.
Sprinkle a touch of salt to the top and place in the oven on the middle rack.
Cook for 15min until slightly golden on top.
Carefully remove and place on a cooling rack.
Repeat for the second batch.
