Instructions

1. In a high-speed blender, blend the rinsed red lentils until they form a smooth, lump-free flour.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lentil flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.

5. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

6. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

7. Serve the red lentil pancakes warm, with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Notes

For fluffier pancakes, separate the egg whites and whisk them until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter before cooking. You can also use whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour in place of all-purpose flour.
