{Recipe} Lentil Oat Berry Bake

Lentils for breakfast might sound a bit strange (but not to me because I prefer savory breakfasts most of the time) but give this one a chance.  You don't taste the lentils but they add a nice pop of protein to this sweet bake.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup dried red lentils

2 cups rolled oats (not instant)

2 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup sweetener of choice (or more depending on how sweet you want it)

4 cups frozen berries 

To make: 

• Soak the dried lentils and oats with the almond milk, cinnamon and sweetener overnight in the fridge in a covered container
• In the morning, preheat oven to 375F
• Add 4 cups of frozen berries to a 9 x 9 baking dish
• Pour the lentil/oat mixture over the berries. Sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top if you like
• Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling
• Let cool before serving (makes 9 servings)

Store leftovers in the fridge.  This is delicious warm or cold.   Add some maple syrup to a warm piece of the bake and enjoy!

It also makes a nice evening snack or dessert with a bit of whipped topping.
