Today, I tried a very popular (in terms of the number of times I’ve seen it on various people’s Pinterest accounts, YouTube channels, and blogs) but for me it was an EPIC FAIL! This recipe isn’t even worth washing the dishes it created!
EPIC FAILURE:
Why is this recipe a waste of time, effort, and ingredients? Because the sweetness of coconut with the garlic/salt of the everything bagel seasoning was too much of a mash up. Speaking of mash up, the pre-baked dough literally looked like and tasted like mashed potatoes. Even after baking, while it looked more like cake, it still tasted like lattkes or smashed spuds. The texture was also rubbery. Having said that, I am still blogging about this recipe as a way of recording that I’ve tried this recipe as I don’t want to try it again, by mistake.
TIPS OR TWEAKS?
It could work, perhaps as: a. muffins instead of trying to parade its self as bagels. b. as spiced sweet such as cinnamon (raisin), pumpkin spice, or apple pie spice, or even classic spice blend together like an old-fashioned spice-cake. These do not rise much so perhaps making them in a ramekin or muffin tin would work better where the “molds” could hold more batter than the small donut pans. It tasted best with some butter on it.
INGREDIENTS:
- Faux Eggs (to replicate 3 eggs use 3 TBSP arrowroot powder dissolved into 3 TBSP water)
- 1/2 cup plus 1 TBSP coconut flour
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 3 TBSP coconut oil
- 1 TBSP gelatin powder (unflavored)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp melted butter
- everything but the bagel seasoning
METHOD:
- Mix together in a small bowl, 3 TBSP arrow root into 9 TBSP water. Stir well and set aside for 15 minutes. Stir before using as an “egg” replacement (or simply use 3 eggs below where this egg replacement is called for in the recipe).
- This recipe yields 6 servings so lightly grease a six-hole donut pan with coconut oil.
- In a bowl, mix together coconut flour, gelatin, baking powder, and salt until well blended and any clumps are broken up.
- Add in wet ingredients (“faux eggs” coconut milk and coconut oil); mix well to combine.
- Distribute dough into donut mold pan.
- Brush tops of donuts, before baking, with melted butter and sprinkle on everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake at 350 for 30 minutes (toothpick will come out cleanly)
