These cook up very easy on flat round cast iron skillets, i use 2 at a time, for crepes, pancakes or anything actually. You can buy cast iron pans inexpensively at most of your local hardware stores, like Ace or others that have kitchenwares. Bypass all forever chemicals like tephlon or new non stick pans, it's trickery. Cast iron works great and IS naturally non stick because of the textured surface. Much easier to clean and use too, no soaking just rinse with hot water and a rag or brush and dry. You can rub with oil to ready it for next use and keep rust free. There are also lighter cast iron pans if you're worried about lifting. Cheers, LOVE LOVE this video, Thanks 🙏 😊
Thank you 🙏 If you’re looking to get bread alternatives that are close to regular breads and that doesn’t taste lentils, you need to have red lentils (neutral taste and can be very versatile for all kinds of baked goods). This is being said, you can also use regular lentils for some nutritious and delicious bread alternatives but neither the texture nor the taste will be the same as for red lentils 🤗
Zara, you star! I don't why or how I haven't seen this recipe before... What measure do you use for each wrap? And how many does the mix make for each flavour? Next on to the Mayo alternatives. Thank you thank you!
Thank you and glad you’re loving the channel and the recipes 🥰 Actually all the information about the recipe is available in the description box below the video. Here’s a copy for you that hopefully will answer your questions 🙏 Ingredients for 4 plain wraps: ¼ cup red lentils (172 calories) ¼ rolled oats (80 calories) Pinch of salt ½ cup water Ingredients for 4 beet wraps: ¼ cup red lentils (172 calories) ¼ rolled oats (80 calories) 20 g raw beets (9 calories) Pinch of salt ½ cup water Ingredients for 4 spinach wraps: ¼ cup red lentils (172 calories) ¼ rolled oats (80 calories) 1 cup or 35 g fresh spinach (8 calories) Pinch of salt ½ cup water Each wrap counts for: Energy: 62 calories Protein: 3.69 g Fat: 0.6 g Carbohydrates: 10.8 g Fiber: 1.8 g
Not bad. I tried it with sprouted and cooked lentils rather than just soaked because they so often disagree with me, and needed to add a spoonful of rice flour to thicken it, but they came out both tasty and soft, which confuses me 😂
You need to have optimal batter consistency, optimal cooking heat (low medium) and not to touch the flatbread until it’s fully done (you can flip it easily). Mastering all of these take some practice 🤗
How are these the next day? Do they crack when you try to fold them? When making these with lentils alone they are fine immediately after making but when left to go cold they crack when you try to fold them. Just wondering if the oats makes them more flexible when cooled.
Hey there, we keep them in a plastic zip bag for few days in the fridge. They stay soft and don't crack. They get the exact same flexibility as in the video if you warm them up for a minute or so when you get them out of the fridge.
Thank you 🙏🤗 I haven’t tried with canned lentils, it would work, I would think because oats will help it get that tortilla like consistency. That being said, I highly recommend to use wholesome ingredients when possible 🥰
Hi there, You can use soaked green lentils or soaked chickpeas also with oats if you like. We prefer red lentils only because they have more neutral taste and are richer in iron (these kind of recipes are good for iron deficient people like myself) 🙏
Hi LernMusikLive, I tried quinoa alone as a liquid batter and it worked fine as a flatbread or wrap. But, to be honest, I haven’t tried myself the combination lentils with quinoa! You can try it for yourself or wait for us to try it and post it here if the result is convincing and worth it 🙏
@@Masrywell oh, sorry 🙏 That combination neither, we haven’t try the way we did in the video. But why not, I think it will work! My own experience with quinoa was not always great! The texture could crack afterwards and the taste is not neutral. The oats and lentils have very neutral taste (you won’t taste oats nor lentils) and the wraps are flexible and soft. Hope that helped 😘
Hi Melisa, sorry to hear you’re having difficulties to make the flatbread 😢 No, I don’t drain the oats (most of the water is absorbed). I add same volume of water (1/4 cup water to 1/4 cup oats). Only clean and drain the lentils (1/4 cup) and add them to the blender with an extra 1/4 cup water (you just drained)! Here are some tips to help you succeed if you try to make them 😘 1) Because, rolled oats and red lentils might be slightly different from one place to another, try to add the water little by little while blending to get a consistency that is not too runny and not too thick (something between crepes and pancakes) 2) Mix the batter thoroughly before each scooping 3) The heat should be on high (not the highest though) when you pour the batter onto the nonstick pan that has been brushed with a fraction of oil (I use coconut oil). Bring back the heat to medium and let cook 4) Don’t touch the flatbread until you see the borders start to look dry (a sign it’s getting solid on the bottom side) 5) If after you turn the wrap, you feel it’s still wet, don’t hesitate to turn it back and forth (few seconds) until the wrap is cooked the way you like it 🙏
I have done 2 other similar recipes with quinoa / red lentils or buckwheat / red lentils and they all taste just as good as these ones! See if you are OK with one or both of them 🙏🤗 th-cam.com/video/c1uYBw-OrqM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=urJa2eE-HV8EawAF th-cam.com/video/TZsxM3a9rz4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kGKuSNDjTWuE9_v0

Hey Janapa, Glad you loved the taste 🙏 It takes some practice to get any flatbread inflating while cooking it. They need to be well cooked through under the right temperature (not too high and not too low), before the 2 layers can separate and give that bloom like shape. Keep them cooking longer next time while pressing gently on them until they start to separate and inflate 🙏🥰
Hi Azannah and thanks for your comment 🙏 My experience with cooking these kind of flatbreads is that you should get the 2 sides fully cooked to separate from each other (the hot air infiltrates between the 2 and heat pressure pushes them appart). I guess, with yours, you haven’t let them cook enough to see this process. The cooking heat also should be optimal (not too high that they look they’re cooked!), that they can take time to cook throughly on both sides, to be able to separate and inflate 🙏
@@azannahhi I found that the pan must be really hot ten minutes before you pour in the batter but not to high a temperature just hot and do add air to the batter by blending before you pour into pan.
Yes, oats are naturally gluten free in nature. They can be contaminated with gluten when processed in facilities that deal with wheat or rye! People with celiac need to buy certified gluten free oats, though 🙏
You don’t need to add eggs, actually! You could just have added some more oat flour. I think your batter was too runny or you wasn’t patient enough and you was trying to flip them before they were fully holding together 🙏
This topic is still very debatable but I totally understand your concern. I make it always clear in my instructions that I’m cooking under a medium-low heat and I show that I’m using a wood or silicone spatula. These kind of bread necessitates a non stick surface, unfortunately 🙏
Something that Alot of people don't know is that when using a stainless steel pan they actually are non stick however you need to make sure you season them by heating a high heat oil over med high heat until it just starts to smoke remove off heat and let it cool. Once you have done that your pan is nonstick until liquid touches it and then you will need to start over but it works for everything and you don't have to use the other nonstick surfaces any longer I love mine and my Dutch oven which is also non stick
@@AmeeraG242 thank you for the advice and for sharing your thoughts 🙏 I will experiment with my stainless steel pan next time I do a recipe that needs a nonstick skillet 🤗

Love the recipe. Just curious about the beets, did you use them cooked or raw?
Thank you so much for posting.
I use them raw, the colour is more intense. You can use the cooked beets if you prefer but you may need to add more to have the red colour you like 🙏
I'm new to cooking with lentils - can I use any color, or do they have to be the red ones? Your videos are so peaceful
Thank you 🙏

I like it when people experiment with different things and create their own favorite recipe 👏😇
Is it freezer friendly ? Can I make in bunch and freeze for later use ? Can you share how to do that please ? Thank you !
Yes, they are. Store them in a sealed ziplock bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. You need to preheat before serving, though 🙏
Thank you !
I don’t know why mines don’t come out so pretty and like yours, it was so difficult to make for me

They look amazing. but I can’t eat oats 😢 I made them with out oats. I love them 😊
Substitute with a small amount of psyllium husk. About a heaped teaspoon of the fibrous kind (not the powder) per 50g lentils.
How much time can you safe it in the fridge?
You can keep them in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to three months 🙏

I can't find whole oats. Will old fashioned rolled oats work?
Yes, they would work too 🙏
@@zaracooks thanks. Making these tomorrow 😄
Does it have to be red lentils
Hi there,
You can use soaked green lentils or soaked chickpeas also with oats if you like. We prefer red lentils only because they have more neutral taste and are richer in iron (these kind of recipes are good for iron deficient people like myself) 🙏
Do you drain the oats after they are soaked?
No, because the oats almost absorb the whole water 🙏
how to preserve it if we make large batch?
You can store them in the freezer for up to 3 months or in the fridge for up to 1 weeks 🙏
Can i do this with quinoa?
Hi LernMusikLive,
I tried quinoa alone as a liquid batter and it worked fine as a flatbread or wrap. But, to be honest, I haven’t tried myself the combination lentils with quinoa! You can try it for yourself or wait for us to try it and post it here if the result is convincing and worth it 🙏
@@zaracooks thank you im thinking of oats and quinoa
@@Masrywell oh, sorry 🙏
That combination neither, we haven’t try the way we did in the video. But why not, I think it will work! My own experience with quinoa was not always great! The texture could crack afterwards and the taste is not neutral.
The oats and lentils have very neutral taste (you won’t taste oats nor lentils) and the wraps are flexible and soft. Hope that helped 😘
@@zaracooks thank you very much keep ip the great work!
@@Masrywell thank you so much for your kind words and your support ❤️
I dont know what I went wrong on the first time I followed this Are you suppose to drain the oat water before you put it in the blender?
Hi Melisa,

@@zaracooks Okay Now I see what I did wrong Thank You!!
How much water to soak the oats? As you are using their water so there should be some measurement ??? 🤔
Double ratio for water! If you’re using 1/2 cup rolled oats, soak it in 1 cup water and use it with its water 🙏
can you make them larger?
Yes, sure you can use any side pan you may have or want 🙏🥰
Is there another ingredient I can substitute the oak with? I'm diabetic
I have done 2 other similar recipes with quinoa / red lentils or buckwheat / red lentils and they all taste just as good as these ones! See if you are OK with one or both of them 🙏🤗

Yes, oats are naturally gluten free in nature. They can be contaminated with gluten when processed in facilities that deal with wheat or rye! People with celiac need to buy certified gluten free oats, though 🙏

You don’t need to add eggs, actually! You could just have added some more oat flour. I think your batter was too runny or you wasn’t patient enough and you was trying to flip them before they were fully holding together 🙏
Same thing happened to me, they keep falling apart. How long are you supposed to cook them?
Only toxic if scratched in surface to release chemicals
Yes, that’s right 👍🙏
