You have read that right. These savoury muffins are made with 100% red lentil flour, sundried tomatoes and shallots. They are delicious, gluten-free, and good for you as they are high in PROTEIN, and full of fiber. They are great as a side or a snack. I have also tried the recipe with smoked bell peppers instead of sundired tomatoes, both versions are very delicious, but I like 'sundried tomatoes' slightly more. Definitely make this again (might just top the batter with a cube of Feta).

Cold Oven Gluten Free Red Lentil Muffins with Sundried Tomatoes

adapted from Chef koch
  • 350 g Red lentils, finely ground
  • 1/2 tsp Black cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper powder
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 550 ml Sparkling water
  • 100 g Sundried tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 50 g Shallots, diced
  • 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
  • Olive oil to grease the muffin tin
  1. Whisk together the ground red lentils, black cumin, black pepper, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix the thinly sliced sundried tomatoes, diced shallots and minced garlic. Add into the dry mixture.
  2. Pour in the sparkling water. Use a hand-held electrical mixer to stir for 3 minutes until well combined. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with a little olive oil.
  3. Divide the batter into the muffin cups. Place it in the cold oven and bake for 45-55 minutes at 140C/280F, fan-forced. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Lovely flavors. We make a steamed dumpling with almost the same flavors with red lentils and those are yummy too.
Beautiful pictures.

Very unique recipe, Angie! The color from the red lentils is beautiful and I love your addition of the sun-dried tomatoes. As one reader said, they would make a great appetizer, especially if made in a mini muffin pan. I'm already thinking of adding some chopped green olives to the batter :)

I had no idea you could make flour with lentils--that is crazy! These totally look like they were made with wheat flour. Amazing!

Choclette 15/2/13 18:50

Oh, oh, oh, I'm in love. I've never eaten anything with lentil flour and it's such a fabulous idea. Can you buy the lentils ready ground or do you do it yourself? I can't imagine being able to get them very finely ground doing it in a food processor at home.

[Reply]
Anonymous 15/2/13 18:53

Mmmm! These muffins sound awesome, Angie. I'm sure the sun-dried tomatoes were delicious in them. Knowing me, I would probably be bad and add a little butter to the muffin, woops! haha

@Choclette I ground them in a wheat mill, but a coffee grinder would work too.

There are two things that surprised me here: the cold oven method and the sparkling water. How do people think up these things? Very clever. Thanks for the inspiration!

Larissa 2/3/13 23:21

I assume that, being in the UK, your teaspoon and tablespoons are the UK ones? This is pretty important for any US residents who might have different results if they follow the directions as written.

1 US tablespoon = 3 US 5 ml teaspoons
1 US tablespoon = 15 ml

In the UK apparently teaspoons and tablespoons are a bit bigger, but the ratio of tablespoon to teaspoon is the same, 3 to 1:
1 Imperial tablespoon = 18 ml
1 Imperial teaspoon = 6 ml

I'm in the US and followed the directions exactly as written. I used my kitchen scaled to weigh out the ingredients in grams, and used my measuring spoons for the teaspoons. I used my Vitamix to grind the lentils. Final verdict...

DELICIOUS!

Thanks so much!
