Ingredients:
200 g dry lentils (soaked overnight)
30 ml olive oil
2 tablespoons rice (ground into flour using a coffee grinder)
6 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons flaxseeds (ground into powder)
20 g pumpkin seeds (chopped)
1 apple (chopped or grated)
How to Make:
Prepare the Lentils: After soaking the lentils overnight, drain and rinse them well.
Blend the Base: In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked lentils, olive oil, water, and ground flaxseeds. Blend until you achieve a thick, smooth batter.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the ground rice (rice flour) and chopped pumpkin seeds.
Combine: Pour the lentil batter into the bowl with the dry mixture. Add the chopped or grated apple and stir everything together until fully combined.
Prepare to Bake: Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil. Pour the mixture into the pan and spread it evenly.
Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the loaf is golden brown on top.
Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
