Almost 10 years ago I discovered I had a gluten allergy. Ever since I’ve been looking for healthy alternatives to bread. I have even been looking for a substitute to gluten free bread. Over the years I’ve made quite a few different recipes. In recent weeks I’ve discovered that baked lentils are a great gluten replacement too.
As Easter is nearly upon us I thought this would make a delicious breakfast for the weekend. We have eggs every Easter for breakfast during this period. It’s a family tradition I’m pleased to say I’ve upheld. This year I thought I would try and make a lentil pancake. It’s delicious and tastes like bread. It’s another brilliant alternative for me. I hope you will be enjoying it too. Below is a video and recipe for you.
