Instructions
Makes 6-8 Pancakes:
- Prep the lentils. Place the lentils in a medium-sized pan and add enough water to the pan to submerge the lentils. Shake the water with your hands to dislodge any debris. Usually, the water will turn cloudy. Then, carefully drain and discard the cloudy water, leaving the lentils behind. Submerge the lentils in the water again and repeat this process until the water runs clear.
- Add water to the pan to submerge the lentils, set them on a stove set to medium heat and bring the lentils to a boil. Cover the pan, turn the heat down to low, and let the lentils simmer for about 12-15 minutes or until they are soft and have lost their shape a bit.
- Then, I add the cooked lentils, eggs, cocoa, almond milk, cinnamon, salt, sweetener, and baking powder to a blender or food processor and blend until all ingredients are mixed well.
- Grease a frying pan and set in on a stove top set to low-medium heat.
- Ladle about 3 spoons into the frying pan and let the pancake batter cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the pancake seems firm.
- Carefully, flip the pancake and let it cook another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from stove and repeat with the rest of the batter until all pancakes are cooked.
OPTIONAL Chocolate Syrup
- Add the coconut oil and chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds, repeat for another 20 seconds if not melted. Stir well.
- Pour over the pancakes and enjoy while still fresh and warm
