Curries and stews just aren’t the same without a nice piece of flatbread to dip with. This plant based vegan lentil flatbread recipe couldn’t be any simpler. With just two ingredients, these are super quick to whip up for any meal of the day. They work great for sopping up the gravy left in your bowl or as a bread substitute for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!
Ingredients
1 cup red lentils
2 cups water
Instructions
- Soak the lentils in the water for 3 hours.
- Pour into a blender and blend until creamy.
- Preheat a nonstick pan or griddle on medium high.
- Pour a ladle full into pan and swirl into a nice circle.
- Cook until bubbles pop in batter, similar to cooking pancakes.
- Flip and cook on other side.
- Eat immediately or store in a tupperware container in the fridge for up to a week.

Oh, I’m definitely making this this week! Thank you!
About how many does it make?
It just depends on the size you are making them. I was able to make 8 =)
Would green lentils work with this? If so, what would change in the preparation (if anything). Thank you.
I haven’t tried making them with regular lentils yet =)
Are these split red lentils Jill?
Yes
How would you eat this ? What does it taste like?
I use it instead of bread so I toast it and put peanut butter on it. We also eat it with soup or any kind of meal that has sauce to dunk in =)
Seems like a simple and fun recipe. I can hardly believe that you can get bread from lentils and water, it’s amazing. I think I’ll try it but not with a non-stick pan, I’d rather have the oil in a cast iron pan than the chemicals in a non-stick pan. Your show is great, I’m really glad I found it.
Hi Jill, Would this work with just medium heat cooked longer? I tried it last night and the medium high heat melted my spatula to my non stick pan. I tried cleaning it using hints from the internet without success. Do you have a favorite spatula that works with high heat? And a favorite non-stick pan? I expect to replace both soon. It was fun though and I would try it again.
Hello Carol, I am using this non-stick griddle.

So far, it seems to be pretty good and it is supposed to be a much safer cooking surface than most non-stick pans. It doesn’t seem to have a problem with my plastic spatula. Nothing special, just one from my local grocery store.
