Googie’s Kitchen presents Oat and Red Lentil Pancakes

My husband Howard will always have poached eggs on toast for his Saturday morning breakfasts. As I’m gluten intolerant I can no longer enjoy this breakfast with him. I know I could eat gluten free bread but I’m really not a fan. Instead I now have homemade savoury pancakes or breads that I bake myself with quinoa flour.

Normally I make myself bread or pancakes at the weekend and store them in the freezer. I had completely run out of both these items. So I opened my pantry. My eyes were roaming around when I spotted the red lentils. I decided to give the lentils a try in my pancake mix. The results were delicious and I really enjoyed eating them with poached eggs for breakfast. Below is a video and the recipe for you.

Do you eat bread for breakfast and would you consider switching? Let me know in the comments below and please don’t forget to like and follow me.

Poached Eggs on Oat and Red Lentil Pancakes were a great way to soak up the runny yolk from the egg. They were a delicious part of my breakfast. All the ingredients are freezable so you can make a big batch and freeze them. They taste really good with jam on too. However you decide to eat these pancakes, as always, please enjoy.
