Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup red lentils Rinsed until water runs clear
  • 1/2 cup almond flour Can be substituted with chickpea flour or oat flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Cooking Essentials
  • as needed Water For achieving desired batter consistency
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil For cooking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the rinsed lentils, almond flour, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add enough water until the mixture reaches a pancake batter-like consistency (about 1/2 to 1 cup).
Cooking
  1. In a non-stick skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Pour a ladle of the lentil mixture onto the hot skillet and spread it out to form a round shape. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to lift and small bubbles form on the surface.
  3. Carefully flip the flatbread using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
  4. Serve warm, topped with avocado, hummus, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

To store leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them between layers of parchment paper for up to 2 months. Reheat in a pan over medium heat or in a toaster oven.
