  0.5 tsp

  Soak the red lentils and pitted dates in a bowl for at least 2 hours at room temperature
  
  
  Drain lentils and place in VitaMix blender
  Place oat flour, linseed, baking soda into blender
  add milk and apple cider vinegar
  
  
  Blend on low until all the mixtures have come together
  turn up to high speed blend for a 1 - 2 minutes.
  
  
  Leave to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the linseed to thicken
  
  
  
  

  Heat a dash of rapeseed oil in a non-stick skillet/fry pan and then pour half a ladle of lentil batter in the centre and swirl around to spread the pancake mixture

  Cook for about 2-3 minutes over medium heat or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the top has dried out.

  Finally, lift the edges of the pancake with a spatula, all around the pancake, flip it, and cook for a further minute or until golden.

  Repeat step 4 and 5 until you have used all the red lentil batter, but there's no need to add more oil every time.

  Serve with fruit or other favourite healthy topping and Oatly Greek Style Yogurt, like in my photo above.
