How to make fluffy vegan pancakes recipe with red lentils

• First, you'll need to soak the red lentils, let's say at night, you can leave them up to 18hrs so don't be in a hurry.
• Rince the red lentils well, and blend everything thing apart from bananas
• Once you have blended the batter, you'll leave it to stand for about 20 mins so that the ingredients can get time "to say hello I love you to one another hahaha
• You'll add sliced bananas in the batter just before the cooking time! I recommend using well riped but not too much-riped bananas.
• Scoop the batter with bananas, use a measuring cup and pour it slowly on a none sticky pan. Using the bottom of the cup, spread the batter just a little.
• You'll need a large spatula to slowly flip these red lentils pancakes.
• Flip the pancake slowly, you'll have to wait for the bubble to pop up, then slide the spatula gently under the pancake, make sure the spatula is holding the pancake to ¾ before flipping it.
• I advise you not using high heat as the pancakes will cook too quickly and burn.
• If you're in a hurry, keep on adjusting the heat, high to moderate and vice versa.
