I had never heard of it either 🙂 But I must say, it was fun to work with since it is so completely off the charts! I was thinking of adding lentil flour to my oatmeal in the morning to make a complete protein. The lentils in ground form should cook up quickly don,t you think? Also i may make some unleavened bread "whole wheat or barley flour" and mix some lentil flour to make a complete the protein.

They would definitely cook fast, however, they do have a distinct taste so maybe give it a try in small doses.

Mixing lentil flour into your bread sounds awesome! I have made bread with lentil flour and it turned out fantastic. I would start with little increments and go from there.

I plan to work with lentil flour more often to see what I can come up with. I can't wait to see those cookies! Lentil flour is new to me but I can't wait to see more recipes! Such a great idea. I love different flours! I actually have a grain mill, so now I am super inspired to toss some lentils in and see what happens.

I have never used a grain mill before, but it would probably process the lentils faster and more efficiently than a food processor. This is a great idea! I've never heard of lentil flour, but I can imagine that it has a wonderful flavor, and all of the added protein, can it get any better?

I'm going to try this. Thank you! I keep "selling" this flour as a great product for gluten-free enthusiasts, but I keep forgetting to include my vegan enthusiasts for that added protein 🙂. I love making Indian food at home. Apparently I really need to make this lentil flour so I can experiment with more authentic Indian flavors!

With how easy it is to make and also very cheap, you could spend endless hours coming up with some neat recipes! The cookies were amazing! My daughter gobbled them all up and I don't think she realized the difference in the flour she is only 3. It is different, that is for sure. I guess you could say it still tastes like lentils, but completely different from actual whole, cooked lentils texture plays a big role, too.

I love this! You know this seems like a great way to thicken broth or sauces. I'm totally adding this to my to-do this week! Thanks for sharing this! I am intrigued if that will work!

If it does, it would be especially beneficial for gluten-free diets I might have to give this a try myself!

This made me laugh since I clicked over expecting to maybe see dosas lol! Lentil flour in indian flatbreads is terrific! So I am totally down with lentil flour--and super curious to see it in Western baking traditions! I have never tried it in Indian cooking, though I do love the cuisine!

Will have to do my research on some Indian flatbreads 🙂. God bless you! Ever since I learned about how nutrient rich lentils are, I've been wondering if lentil flour could be used exclusive of other flours in baking. That would be so HUGE for our family! And my muffin recipe could become even more nutritious and maybe almost gluten-free!

That would be so much more healthy for us! Please let me know what you learned about using lentil flour exclusively in recipes that were not originally developed for a flour other than all-purpose. And many thanks for sharing your hard work!!!

First off, thank you so much for the kind words! I will try and answer your questions the best I can. I have not worked too much with lentil flour, but have noticed great results. My homemade lentil flour definitely provides a nutty and almost whole wheat texture to baked goods I want to say grainy, if you know what I mean.

I don't sub in lentil flour completely because of the issue with graininess I am used to this with gluten-free baked goods, but some others may not be keen on it. I see you mention sugar as your issue mine, too!

This way you are getting the nutrients of the lentil flour without risking destroying your recipe. I have a cookie recipe that uses sweet potatoes and no flour; it may sound weird but it is great for people looking to watch their sugars and flour intake!

As I said above, I would try slowly replacing the all-purpose flour a bit at a time with lentil flour.

I like to use other gluten-free flours such as coconut flour I also make my own homemade, just add shredded coconut to a food processor and process until flour-like. It doesn't get as soft as other flours, but it does help keep the graininess down.

I am definitely going to be experimenting with lentil flour some more, and I will email you with any recipes that work! I have had success with bread and cookies, but have not made any cakes with it yet muffins may be a bit easier because you can add other ingredients to bind the muffin together!

We have a bulk store that carries tons of gluten-free flours such as lentil and coconut, so you can always keep an eye out for them 🙂. Thank you so much for this tutorial. the most cost effective flour in my area is coconut flour but I loath the flavor of coconut since lentils are under 2 dollars a bag this is perfect for our budget!

I'm just curious if substituting lentil flour for wheat flour is a 1 to 1 ratio or if it absorbs moisture like some other GF flours out there.

Hi, Dana. I have only done one cookie recipe using lentil flour, but it worked out quite well! I explained to another person that I have not experimented much, but plan to. It does absorb quite well, but lentil flour is quite strong in taste, and to me is quite "grainy.

Hope that helps! I should add, I use a mixture of lentil flour and coconut flour to help balance the flavours! Thank you so much for posting this! Finally I found the first step in making lentil pasta. I first tried the brand Tolerant a couple months ago.

They make lentil pasta but it sells for 8. Can you post how to make pasta noodles out of the lentil flour. I'm assuming add water make the shapes and let dry again?? I can't wait to try this out. Thanks again! Wow, I never thought of lentil pasta! I need to give this a try.

I have never made it before so I would have no idea where to begin, but given that lentils are really cheap, practicing a few recipes won't cost me much.

I will keep you posted! Did this ever happen? I too am looking for a homemade lentil pasta! Tolerant is tasty but sooooo expensive! Sorry, Rachel, I have not tried it yet. However, I finally figured out a birthday gift idea going to ask for a pasta maker so I can actually get on this!!

FYI, Costco now sells Tolerant's red lentil penne. I know they sell it here in NYC, don't know if your location does too? Good for you for doing this. I am using my Ninja and it pulverizes them very quickly. I love seeing parents trying to introduce new and healthy things for their families.

Rock on! I hear good things about the Ninja so you are probably having way more success than me 🙂 I think a lot of people do not realize that yes, lentil flour is good for you, however, it has a unique flavour that not everyone will enjoy much like a lot food!

I have become very carb sensitive so I am trying to find things to boost nutrition, reduce carbs and still enjoy some of the carbs foods that I enjoy. I have just made waffles using cooked red lentils. Now I want to try them with lentil flour. I add cinnamon to help stabilize blood sugars when I eat carbs so this will help to mask the flavour of the lentils.

I plan to use waffles instead of pastry for savoury dishes, like chicken-a-la-king, so will add spices that would compliment whatever dishes I plan to make. I look forward to challenging Lentil flour to make dishes I enjoy and keep my blood sugar in balance.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are soooo welcome! Glad this intrigues you and yes, trying to mellow out that lentil flour is essential, but I think lentil flour could really produce some awesome meals! I know one person did not care for the flour in my lentil bread recipe, but then again, it is definitely a unique flavour 🙂.

Love Lentils, I've had lentil flour pasta it holds such a similar texture to pasta even taste I love this option, I'm sensitive to Gluten and so is my bf he has psoriasis so I make the effort to find new ways to make his fav foods just for him, My question is, "r these dehydrated lentils like fresh out of a bag uncooked?

I'm trying to figure out if I have to cook them first n let them stand b4 milling them? I use them straight out of the bag, uncooked. My food processor is not very strong, so I can never break them down fully, however, milling them would probably allow you to breakdown the lentils with little to no waste!

I'm totally gonna try it. Thank you, Kacey. May I please ask, if the lentil flour bloats you? I'm wondering if I should rinse and dry the lentils first or use the lentils straight out of the bag.

Thanks for you thoughts. Hi Diana! I didn't have issues with bloating, but everyone is different. Rinsing and drying would be best as sometimes some fragments make their way into the bag and you don't want to bite into those!

You could also soak them not usually needed, but it may make them easier on the digestive system. This flour has been around for as long as I can remember. People don't know of it because the mainstream didnt sell it.

Most farmers made their own, just like any other healthy flour. Any beans and most seeds can be ground into a flour, I have even done leaves, such as lambsquarter, dandelion, and sweet potato leaves.

Just what I was looking for! Baulk Barn used to sell red lentil flour, green lentil flour and black bean flour. But this method might be good for creating any flour to balance off the grains in bread, beigli crust or porridge.

Fava beans are supposed to be so healthy, yet no flour available? Time to get whirring the food Ninja. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Comments I have never heard of lentil flour. I am going to have to try this! Thanks for how to! Love this creative and healthy recipe! So excited to try it!

Thanks for sharing 🙂. I am sure you could whip up something delicious with this recipe, Becky 🙂. This is so cool! I love a healthy alternative to white flour!

Oh my gosh, I love this! I can't wait to grind my own lentil flour and start baking with it. Lentil flour?! I love lentils, so I'm intrigued!! The cookies look tasty! Lentils would be too soft for the mill.

Food processor all the way. Thanks for the tutorial! And I just love the simplicity of your photos.
