Do I have to use cassava flour?

I do not have any great substitutes for cassava flour. I've heard that swapping cassava with oat flour or a gluten free blend works at a 1:1 ratio by weight, but have not tried this myself. If you give it a try, let me know the results in the comment section below.

Is there a swap for yogurt?

No, yogurt is needed for texture purposes, especially since these are egg free pumpkin bagels. However, you can use any type of yogurt (coconut, almond, cashew, cow's milk, goat's milk...). I just recommend using an unsweetened yogurt with a slightly runny texture (nothing super thick).

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Fill a large saucepan with 3-4 inches of water and bring to a boil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry bagel ingredients. This includes the cassava flour, almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet bagel ingredients. This includes the pumpkin puree, yogurt and honey.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and combine using a spatula. Then use your hands to knead the dough until it forms a cohesive ball.
Separate the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then use your hands to form a bagel shape. Set the bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Carefully place the bagels into the boiling water. Let them boil for about 1 minute each, then remove them from the water and place them back on your lined baking sheet. (I highly recommend a slotted spoon for this step! It helps the excess water drip off.)
Put the bagels in your preheated oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. They should be cooked through and golden brown on the bottom when done.
After baking, let the bagels cool on a cooling rack to room temperature.
