Pumpkin and Hemp Seed Bagels

by Kathy Patalsky · updated: Oct 19, 2023 · published: Jun 26, 2020 · About 5 minutes to read this article. 1 Comment

Pumpkin + Hemp Seed Bagels

You already know that bagels are basically my go-to item of 2020. I am a bit obsessed with baking them, eating them and sharing them with you guys. These Pumpkin and Hemp Seed Bagels are my favorites so far because they are loaded with healthy, protein-rich hemp and pumpkin seeds. At first I figured I would add any seeds as coating to my bagels, but discovered that both hemp and pumpkin (two faves for health) burn very easily. So I folded them into the dough and that process works perfectly!

Get the recipe and become a bagel baking expert in no time!...

Bagels with Seeds

Do you love an everything bagel like I do? Well these Pumpkin and Hemp Seed Bagels actually include loads of healthy seeds in a different sort of way. The seeds are inside the bagel, rather than as coating. Of course, I do love some textured toppings on my bagels so I have options for that.

Bagel Seed Toppings That Work

Some seeds and nuts burn very easily. So instead of putting those items on top of bagels, you can fold them into the dough! But if you love a coating on a bagel (like me!) here are a few options that work well:

  • poppy seeds
  • white sesame seeds
  • coarse sea salt
  • dried garlic bits or even garlic granules
  • rolled oats! (I tried that on my first batch of these bagels and liked it!)

I find that the freshly boiled bagels can be coating in seedy toppings very easily. But if preferred, you can brush a vegan egg substitute like JUST egg over top before coating and the baking.

My Fave Seed Brands

I definitely buy the same seed brands over and over. These are the two I used for these bagels and all my hemp and pumpkin seed needs...

  • Go Raw Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds - I love these! They are crunchy instead of rubbery and have a subtle salted flavor that I adore. I love them on top of smoothie bowls too.
  • Organic Hemp Seeds - I am less brand-loyal for hemp seeds. I just make sure that they are organic. I like Manitoba Harvest and Nutiva, just to name a few. But the Whole Foods brand is also great!

Protein-Rich Bagels

It isn't easy to load up bagels with protein and still make them delicious and well-textured. But I think these Pumpkin and Hemp Seed Bagels do a pretty good job because of all the seedy goodness in each bite. They contain around 10-12g of protein in each medium-sized bagel, which is good! Larger bagels will contain around 15g.

Another protein adder is the type of flour you use. Bread flour contains more gluten - and thus more protein - than all-purpose flour. Learn more about this on Bon Appetit.

If you want an added boost of protein, experiment with subbing out ¼ cup of bread flour for ¼ cup of plain vegan protein powder - or even vital wheat gluten. The texture will vary a bit, but you will get a heavier boost of protein.

Or you could simply add more hemp or pumpkin seeds - two excellent forms of healthy fats, fiber and plant-based protein.

How to Serve Pumpkin + Hemp Seed Bagels?

I love these bagels four ways....

1 - Avocado toast bagels! Easy. Avocado, lemon, some EVOO, salt and maybe more seeds on top.

2 - Bagels with vegan cream cheese. I love Kite Hill the best.

3 - Bagel breakfast sandwiches. Vegan sausage and/or vegan egg, vegan cheese, strawberry jam, some greens. That is the go-to recipe in our house.

4 - Bagel lunch sandwich. Think hummus, sprouts or lettuce, maybe freshly sliced tomato, roasted red peppers and any other veggies you want to pile on. This works with spicy mustard and vegan cheese too in place of hummus.
