Lentil Loaf

I don’t make vegan meatloaf or meatballs often & I’m not sure why because every time I do I love them!

This was my dinner last night. Give it a shot, you won’t regret it!

These Lentil Loaf Muffins are:

  • Clean
  • High in Fiber & protein
  • Dense
  • Full of flavor
  • Filling
  • Cruelty-free
