For a while I avoided gluten and proja was always a great solution. Especially when I was in a hurry. It is very easy to prepare and can be eaten the next day. Proja is also a great idea when we go on a trip to nature.

I also like to use this recipe when I prepare mini proja as a snack for school to my son. It can be combined with various supplements.

Sometimes I serve proja with some proteins (such as legumes) and fiber, so I have an excellent dinner or lunch.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups polenta

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.

  2. We grind flax and mix all the dry ingredients.

  3. Add more liquid ingredients, season and mix everything well so that there are no lumps. The mass is more liquid than thick.
