Ingredients
- 1/3 cup dry brown lentils
- 1 cup pitted dates, soaked
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup almond butter, or nut/seed butter of your choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a small saucepan, add lentils and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil; cover. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until lentils are tender and most of the liquid is gone.
- In a small bowl, add dates; cover with boiling water. Let sit for 5 minutes, then drain.
- In a food processor or high-speed blender, add oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pulse until a fine flour forms.
- Add drained dates, lentils, applesauce, milk, almond butter, and vanilla; process until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.
- In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, pour batter. Smooth the top so that it is even. Sprinkle with more chocolate chips, if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.
