Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix flours, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, and cardamom.
  3. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or use your fingers to mix in. Mixture should resemble oat flakes.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together maple syrup, egg, and lentil puree. Add strawberry slices.
  5. Add wet mixture to flour and butter mixture. Use your hands to form a dough.
  6. Turn dough onto a floured surface. Halve the dough into two discs, approximately 1-inch (5 cm) thick. Cut each disc into eight pieces.
  7. Bake on a parchment lined baking tray for 20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned.
  8. Cool on a baking rack before serving.

*To make the lentil puree: Place cooked, or rinsed & drained canned lentils into a food processor. For every 1 cup (250 mL) of lentils,
add ¼ cup (60 mL) water. Blend to make a smooth purée with a consistency resembling canned pumpkin.
