These grain and nut free bagels make a great alternative from shop bought versions which are often made with refined flour and sugar as well as many preservatives. The pumpkin, flax and chia seeds are all rich in protein, fibre, calcium and omega 3 fatty acids, which helps reduce inflammation, making this a nutrient-dense bread substitute.
