protein biscuits

 I am for sure making these "protein biscuits" as they seem like a satisfying breakfast option.  From here.  Seems like I can make a lot of substitutions in them.   

Ingredients

  • 250 g (2 cups total)
  • 1 cup (240g) yogurt (they call for dairy free but I'll use dairy) 
  • 1 cup (190 g) red lentils, rinsed 
  • 1 1/3 cup (320 mL) vegetable stock  
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian herbs
  • 1 1/2 cup (45 g) spinach, finely chopped (I'll replace with zucchini and other vegetables) 
  • 1/2 cup (55 g) sundried tomatoes (not stored in oil ... so perhaps reduce oil if using from oil) 
  • 3/4 cup (100 g) sunflower seeds
  • 1/3 cup (15 g) nutritional yeast  
  • Instructions Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil paper with olive oil. Set aside. Place the rinsed red lentils in a saucepan with vegetable stock. Cover the pan, bring it to high heat until the liquid boils, reduce to medium heat, and cook covered for 10-12 minutes until the lentils are mushy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove the lid and let it steam out for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C). In a large mixing bowl, add flour, onion powder, Italian herbs, yogurt, olive oil, cooked red lentils, chopped spinach, chopped sundried tomatoes, seeds, and nutritional yeast. Combine everything together until it forms a sticky dough. Divide the dough into 8 portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the biscuits for 20-25 minutes at 400 °F (200 °C) until golden brown. Let them cool down for a few minutes before serving.
