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.

Pumpkin Waffles

Does anyone else find that a can of pumpkin is not two cups anymore? You don't have enough pumpkin to make two batches of any of your recipes. And you're always left with 3/4 of a cup of pumpkin, either having to open another can to get a full cup or not using enough pumpkin in your recipe. I found the perfect way to use up that extra 3/4 of a cup of pumpkin, pumpkin waffles. Besides being tasty, I'm looking at you pumpkin haters, pumpkin is a great source of vitamin A to up the health content of your waffles just a little bit, while still being delicious. You can serve the waffles with cinnamon brown sugar bacon, spiced cider, or a pumpkin spiced latte to increase your fall vibes. Ingredients: 2 Eggs, beaten 1 1/4 C Milk 3/4 C Pumpkin 2 TBS Molasses 2 C Flour 2 tsp Pumpkin Spice 4 tsp Baking Powder 1/2 tsp Salt 1/2 C Butter, melted Heat the waffle iron.

Grandma's Harvey Wallbanger Cake Makeover

My grandmother made Harvey Wallbanger cake at every family function for as long as I can remember. Birthdays, holiday parties, anytime we'd all get together this cake would be at the center of the table, but after grandma passed away and I became more conscientious of the ingredients that we were eating I stopped making the cake. It her version was made with yellow cake mix vanilla pudding mix which both contained artificial colors and flavors and oftentimes palm oil which I'm allergic to. For a few years I've been trying to find a recipe that matched what I remembered from Grandma's Harvey Wallbanger cake but was unable to find it from scratch recipe that really seemed to hit the mark. Finally I've come up with a recipe that matches the taste and texture of my grandma's Harvey Wallbanger recipe but without any of the artificial ingredients that they put in cake mixes and putting mixes now. I hope you enjoy it! Ingredients: 1 3/4 C Sugar 3/4 tsp Sal...
