Sorry, but I don’t get these ingredients: 1/3 Oats/semolina/flour or Quinoa/rice/lentils (cooked)”. 1/3 what? 1/3 cup of each?”
Sorry.
Yes, 1/3 of a cup.
Thanks for this info. To further clarify, do I use 1/3 cup of each oats, semolina and flour (for a total of 1 cup) or 1/3 cup of each quinoa, rice and cooked lentils (for a total of 1 cup) or do I use 1/3 cup of oats or semolina or flour … or …. 1/3 cup of quinoa or rice or lentils? I’m probably making this harder than it has to be but I’m the kind of cook that has to follow a recipe exactly. Thanks!
This is very confusing. Please explain what exactly you mean by all the slashes in the recipe. Thank you!
This looks divine. What kind of oats are needed? Rolled/old fashioned? Thank you!
The best option is oat flour, you can also use quick oats. Or if you have rolled oats, just blend them into flour.
