- 1 cup (250 mL) cooked or canned lentils, drained & rinsed
- 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (500 mL) oatmeal, made into coarse flour in blender or food processor

Directions
To make lentil purée: place 2 cups (500 mL) lentils in a food processor with water and blend until smooth and the consistency of canned pumpkin. Add additional water 1 Tbsp (15 mL) at a time if more moisture is needed to reach the proper consistency. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Add pureed lentils and cooked lentils, and mix in evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients a little at a time, alternating with butterscotch chips and walnuts, until mixed evenly.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheet, decorate with butterscotch chips, and bake until pale golden, 8-10 minutes. Let cool on pan for 2 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container.
