Quick Breakfast Idea
I make this kind of bread quite often at home because my husband is diabetic and likes to have an early breakfast. I am seriously not a morning person when it comes to preparing breakfast 😄 so I love making healthy breads and buns ahead of time. I can store them in the refrigerator for up to a week, which makes busy mornings much easier.
In the morning, he simply makes his tea or coffee, warms a slice of bread in the microwave and breakfast is ready within minutes. You can enjoy it as it is or add your favorite spread if you like. It is simple, filling, convenient and a great make-ahead breakfast for anyone looking for an easy and nutritious start to the day.
Faqs
What can I use instead of red lentils?
I used red lentils for this recipe but they are totally optional. You can use another type of lentil of your choice, depending on what you have available or prefer.
What can I use instead of Spinach?
If you want to use other greens please! go ahead. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers, carrots or cabbage. I recommend lightly roasting or sautéing them first as this helps remove some moisture and enhances the overall flavour of the bread.
Can I use Cheese?
Adding cheese to this bread is completely optional. Cheese will definitely make it richer and more delicious but I personally avoid it because I am allergic to cheese. If you enjoy cheese, feel free to add your favorite variety to the batter.
What nuts can I use?
Also if you want to add more seeds or nuts, go ahead. They will make the bread even crunchier while adding extra texture and nutrients.
How to make Egg free?
For an egg-free version, you can follow my other lentil bagel or lentil bread recipes, where I use psyllium husk instead of eggs. It works really well as a binder and keeps the recipe simple and wholesome.
