WonderMill put Food Bloggers to the test: Create 5 recipes using flours processed using their mill.
When I first heard about WonderMill’s Grain Mill Wagon Challenge, I thought, why not?
There are so many things you can make from flour besides breads and dessert. I made Kamut Noodles and Crackers for example.
Then I got to thinking, grains are not the only thing WonderMill grinds. You can mill beans too! I love lentils. I love brownies. So how about Lentil Brownies!
The lentil flour turned out soft, not cakey and very easy to use. Ratio wise, you should use a little less (about 2 tablespoons per cup) than you would use if it were all-purpose flour.
Lentil Brownies
These moist chewy “pink” brownies have the texture of soft oatmeal cookies with no “bean” aftertaste!
