Notes

Why Aquafaba

Aquafaba is the liquid drained from canned or cooked chickpeas. It can be used as an egg substitute in recipes. In this recipe, it is being used instead of egg whites as an “egg wash”. 

Vegan

Substitute  the nonfat Greek yogurt with plant based greek yogurt.

Pumpkin Bagel

Add 1/4 cup pumpkin puree to the mixture when forming the dough ball. You may need to add a little flour if the dough is too wet.
