Pumpkin Spice Bagels

I'm ready for fall and all the smells and tastes that go with it. That includes pumpkin spice. But don't call me basic. These bagels are anything but basic.

Makes 9

Ingredients

2/3 C Water

1/2 C Canned Pumpkin

1/2 C Brown Sugar

1 tsp Salt

1Tbs Pumpkin Spice

2 C All Purpose Flour

1 C Whole Wheat Flour

2 tsp yeast

1/4 C Honey for the boiling water

*Cinnamon Sugar mixture for sprinkling on bagels before baking*

In a large mixing bowl combine water, brown sugar, and yeast. Set aside until yeast is foamy. Add pumpkin, salt, pumpkin spice, and flour to the water mixture. Mixing until thoroughly incorporated and you have a supple dough that holds its shape.

Let dough rise at room temperature for an hour to an hour and a half until it is doubled in size.

Once dough is doubled in size knead dough and divide into 9 equal portions. Roll each of those portions into a ball and set aside on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Preheat oven to 425°.

While oven preheats boil water in a wide pot. It can be a stock pot or something else that is that wide, but it doesn't have to be more than about 4 in deep. Once water is boiling add 1/4 cup of honey to water.

Pick up your shaped dough and gently pull a finger through the center of it stretching it out to create the hole. Drop your bagel into boiling water, boiling for about 2 minutes on each side. You can boil as many bagels as you feel comfortable putting in your pot so that they don't stick together.

Once the bagels have boiled set them back on the lined baking sheet. Continuing until all bagels have been boiled.

Sprinkle Bagels with cinnamon sugar mixture if desired. Then bake for 18 to 20 minutes until bagels are golden brown.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes

We had a big box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch that I wanted to use for a Rice Krispies treats type of dessert but hadn't gotten to it yet. The only acceptable way to eat cereal in my opinion is straight out of the box. But the others in my house like milk and cereal so I wanted to develop a cupcake with a frosting tasted like the milk, and cake that tasted like the cereal with bits of the cereal on top. I got good feedback while testing this recipe. It's overall not crazy sweet so it could be considered an acceptable breakfast. The cake itself is very dense but the frosting is very light and buttery. Makes 16 Cake: 2 c. All-purpose Flour 1/3 c. Granulated Sugar 1/2 C Brown Sugar 1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder 2 tsp. ground Cinnamon 1/4 tsp. Salt 3/4 c. (1 1/2 stick) softened Butter 1 c. Milk 1 large Egg 2 tsp. Vanilla extract Frosting: 1/2 C Nonfat Milk powder 1 1/2 sticks of Butter, softened 1 C Powdered Sugar 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract (don't over measure or it will tast...
