How to make Banana Lentil Flatbread

[@Yahoo.266]

U can add dates versus sugar substitute

[@danishsierra]

Or fine coconut!

[@nobody1k]

Is a sweetener really needed? Bananas might be sweet enough.

[@happycat0411]

Instead of using xylitol (as xylitol is known to cause prostate enlargement issues) simply use any chopped up dried fruit as a natural sweetener. A good non-stick pan is really essential as well!

[@foxsweightwatcherkitchen854]

You will be pleased that since the video I have stopped using xylitol because of the problems you mentioned and it is also poison for pets so now using natural ingredients

[@happycat0411]

@@foxsweightwatcherkitchen854 Yes, I don't take any cough medicines or anything that contains sorbitol either as sorbitol also does exactly the same thing to the prostate. Anyone over 50 should avoid anything that contains the artificial sweeteners xylitol or sorbitol.

[@Mumbo_Jumbo_Kiwi.1]

I use just a few dates

[@annasutton8078]

Even better just get used to not adding sugar or substitute. You really wont miss it!

[@vegetaliennesooknahtreema9740]

Indeed! I share your opinion, that was completely unnecessary, i would not suggest it. If you prefer it more flavoursome or tastier add powdered spices like black pepper chilly, well any of your choice or even fresh finely chopped spices or bits of fruits or veggies, it looks tempting and comes out more appetizing! I do it regularly adding some whole wheat flour with high percentage of green veggies. But your flatbread looks nice too, just skip the sugar. 👍

[@Oasis_Desert_Rose]

Or...add 2 dates!!!

[@komradson7357]

What about a healthy honey? I also like the dates idea

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

​@@komradson7357 I was thinking that the banana (if ripe) should add a nice amount of natural sweetness all by itself.

Coconut sugar or maple syrup makes a perfect plant- based substitute ❤

[@beauxmimi77]

I love that you put the recipe in the description box and not expect us to go to a paid website for it! Thank you so much! I would make this but use date syrup instead of the artificial sweetener as I have read a lot about it being healthier for our tums. thank you for a nice recipe and video!

[@ClearerThanMud]

Interesting. I wonder about the lectins, though -- they say lentils need to be cooked at 100C for 15 minutes to denature the lectins. Maybe the higher temperatures of pan-frying will denature them in 3-4 minutes?

[@foxsweightwatcherkitchen854]

I was wondering when someone would mention the lectins. Lectins as you probably know can cause intestinal discomfort and yes you are correct you can cook them for 15mins to remove them. The reason the lentil flatbread does not cause problems is because the other way to remove lectins is to soak which I do overnight to help swell up the lentils and this also removes the lectins. The lentils can then be rinsed thoroughly and replace with the same amount of water before blending. For full info on lentils and lectins have a look at this article www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/anti-nutrients/lectins/

[@beccogiallo]

I was familiar with red lentil flatbreads, but I had never seen them made with bananas. They look delicious. Thank you.

[@foxsweightwatcherkitchen854]

They are delicious, thats why I wanted to share them....I also sometimes change it up too and soak chickpeas to make the same recipes... I find tho that the chickpeas need to be soaked longer tho to make them work best...best to soak overnight. Give it a try and let me know what you think

Hi great video! Is it best to use red lentils instead of the brown ones?

[@foxsweightwatcherkitchen854]

Red lentils are the better option as they soak really easily...for speed you can get away with just 3 hours...I have tried with brown and green lentils to... however the taste is different ( more earthy) and because the brown and green ones are whole they take a lot more blending to get to a smooth consistency... as an alternative you can also use soaked chickpeas but again they take a lot of soaking and the mix is more like 2.5 cups water to 1 of chickpea but taste is still good...hope that all helps

I would say nuts to sugar and spices and just go with nuts, either peacan or walnut.

[@malinikrishnamurti1768]

Just discovered your channel - love this recipe idea. One suggestion though - I would leave the Xylitol out. It causes digestive stress. A better choice of sweetener (other than fruit) would be monkfruit, which is zero calorie and much sweeter; and can be used in a much smaller quantity.

[@foxsweightwatcherkitchen854]

Thanks for the suggestion. I have heard that before about Xylitol but I always understood in small quantities it's not to bad but good to know I can now try monkfruit in my swet recipes...always looking to improve and help others...cheers

[@geoc1005]

I like this idea! Wonder if it would work with brown lentils...

[@foxsweightwatcherkitchen854]

To answer your question yes it can be made with brown lentils but the taste is very different and they need blending a lot more as they are whole lentils whereas red lentils are split. Its not my preference but I can easily purchase red,brown or green lentils in my area.

[@jamesdelrogers542]

I like to make chick Pea flower with one quarter Of the mix almond flower , Three quarters of that amount water to flour mix , With one spoon cardiman in cinnamon And override banana or two and a good spoonful of dates syrup , Sometimes a spoonful baking powder , Just cook it in a little butter , And then more date syrup can be used as a syrup. Cause it's very much like a pancake , I might add some nutritional used too , Another trick is to squeeze the juice of an orange into the date syrup and use it as a syrup with butter , It's awesome with my morning chi

[@OceanFrontVilla3]

That sounds really great, can you list the amounts?

[@jamesdelrogers542]

@snowbird6855 Okay Three cups chick pea flour One cup Almond flour Three cups water , But you can mix to the consistency you want Heaping tablespoon cinnamon Heaping tablespoon Cardiman 2 Over ripe bananas Just let the brown spots get on them Optional two tablespoons date syrup You can usually find it at arabic stores Optional two heaping spoons of nutritional yeast , Make sure you grind it into a fine flower first I usually cook it in a little butter To grease the pan , Coconut oil works too You could experiment with a wafflemaker I use a Electric Casadilla Maker , If you use more banana You can cook it to a consistency where it's almost like bread pudding Inside , Then don't use the baking powder , If you go more the route of the date syrup Then use the baking powder And it will be more fluffy like bread . To make a smaller batch Just have the ingredients , Which is usually good 4 one person . I've added organic cocoa powder to it Don't use the Hershey's It's dutch and it's bitter . You might also try sperlena It has a good nutty flavor that mixes with the Nutritional yeast , That will bring your mix up to give you a very complete protein And vitamins . You do not want to smoke your oil or your butter Or try not to char or burn them So cook them lightly as you can , More water in your mix will slow things down a little bit .

[@conysilva1300]

How long does it take to make a dozen of these breads" ??

[@foxsweightwatcherkitchen854]

if you are using one pan then 4 mins per bread so for 12 it would take 48 mins. these can be frozen too so if you get time you can batch cook and freeze then if you want them for breakfast, take out night before and leave in fridge to thaw then warm up for aprox 30-40 secs in microwave or sometimes i throw them in toaster..makes for a different taste too

[@Dovey62]

Xylitol not allowed in my home. I have dogs, and one time my granddaughter bought sugar free pudding. Dog got into the trash, and ALMOST got to some. We were lucky. Also, Add a pinch of salt to these as well. Thanks for the video.

I have tried this with boiled lentils and it does not work. I don't understand the science behind it but when they are saoked and still raw they seem to bind together ok but when they are cooked they dont bind for some reason.

[@foxsweightwatcherkitchen854]

Another thing that I do is weigh the overall weight after soaking them, then I wash thm in hot tap water to take out all of the milky looking water until the water runs clear, then add water back to the original weight then blend and cook them. Seems to take away the strong earthy taste too so when adding different flavours like in the 5 lentil recipe video, the new flavours take better.

I know each substitute sugar is different in flavour & sweetness, etc. but it really is a good idea to maybe stick to a different one if you plan on sharing any bit with your dog.
