  1. 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?”

      1. 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 looks divine. What kind of oats are needed? Rolled/old fashioned? Thank you!

    1. The best option is oat flour, you can also use quick oats. Or if you have rolled oats, just blend them into flour.
