Calories 225kcal
- ¾ cup red lentils
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
- 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 4 teaspoons oil olive, coconut, or walnut are all good choices
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon + 1/8 t. sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Add the lentils into a saucepan and cover them with water.
Bring the mix to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and let the lentils cook for five minutes.
Drain the lentils and let them cool a bit.
Pat them dry a bit with a paper towel, if need be. They should be fairly dry when you begin mixing.
In a bowl, mix the lentils with the remaining ingredients.
Pour the mix onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, and let them bake for 45-60 minutes (stir the mix 2-3 times during the process).
Cool and enjoy!
