Ayurveda Inspired Simple Oat Bagels
By Amalia May
My guilty pleasure- bagels. I LOVE bagels. But if I'm being honestly, I hate the way they make me feel-tired and groggy. Anyone with me? I’m about to change the bagel game for you. This is a recipe that you can add back into your breakfast regiment with zero guilt. It's so easy, cheap, and you probably have all the ingredients to make a batch right now.
This recipe calls for oats, egg, Greek yogurt, and baking powder. That is it. This is a simple way to keep your food Ayurvedic and promoting good health.
What I love about cooking with oats is how creative you can get with it. I’m so convinced you can do about anything with oat flakes and make it a meal.
If you’ve never made oat flour, it is as simple as blending a cup and a half of old fashioned oats with a blender until it turns to powder. Boom baby. Oat flour.
Like I said in an earlier post, you can always replace egg with a “flax seed egg”. To do so, mix one teaspoon of flax meal with 3 teaspoons of water. Let it sit until it has the same consistency of an egg ( about 10 minutes in the fridge).
Personally, I like plain greek yogurt. But of course, if you are going for a sweet bagel, you can play with flavored greek yogurt. If I want added flavor, I usually look first for spices and powdered herbs before I choose yogurt. If you try flavored greek yogurt. Just keep in mind it's important to use Greek. Please let me know how it turns out!
Feel free to mix any add ins you’d like.
Some of my favs are:
powdered herbs
cinnamon & raisin
blueberries
Everything Bagel seasoning
sesame seeds, poppy seeds
Make it a sandwich!
avocado & egg
almond butter & banana…
apple & goat cheese
You get the point. Get creative!
