Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Almond Cake

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). In a blender, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, and rolled oats until finely ground. Add the baking soda to the mixture.

In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana with the erythritol until well combined. In another bowl, mix the plant milk, lemon juice, melted coconut oil, and cocoa powder until smooth.

Combine all of the mixtures, and if desired, fold in some chocolate chips for extra sweetness. Pour the batter into a lined cake pan or muffin cups, and if you like, top with banana slices.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving. The result will be a moist and fragrant cake that’s hard to resist!

Step 2

Prepare the Lentil Bread

Soak the red lentils in water for 8 to 12 hours. After soaking, drain and rinse the lentils, then blend them with the water or plant milk, salt, spices, baking powder, lemon juice, and olive oil. Process until smooth, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender.

Once combined into a uniform mixture, stir in the psyllium husk and let it sit for about 20 minutes to thicken.

Shape the mixture into a loaf or small buns and bake at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Make sure to let the bread cool before slicing. Enjoy it plain, with your favorite spreads, or alongside your main dish!

Faq

  • Can I substitute the almond flour with something else?

    Yes! If you don’t have almond flour, try using cashew flour or even finely ground oats for a different flavor and texture!

  • How do I know if my almond cake is done baking?

    Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, your cake is ready!

  • Can I freeze these pastries for later?

    Absolutely! Both the Almond Cake and Lentil Bread freeze well. Just ensure they are completely cooled before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in an airtight container.

  • What can I add to the lentil bread for extra flavor?

    Try adding spices like garlic powder or dried herbs such as oregano or basil. Seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds can also enhance the texture and flavor!

  • Is it necessary to soak lentils before making the bread?

    Yes! Soaking helps soften the lentils, making them easier to blend and ensuring a smoother bread consistency.

  • How can I make these recipes sweeter without using traditional sugar?

    Consider using dates or maple syrup as natural sweeteners. Adjust the quantity based on your taste preference!
