Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180ºC.
2. Add rolled oats, walnuts, garlic, onion powder (or flakes), smoked paprika and salt to food processor and pulse to break down. You DO NOT want it become a flour, so don´t pulse for too long.
3. Place in a large bowl.
4. Add the lentils (or kidney beans) to food processor and pulse a couple of times. You just want to break them down so do not pulse to many times or for too long, otherwise you will end up with a paste.
5. Add the lentils and kidney beans to the bowl and combine everything using a fork. Do not mashed it, just combine.
6. Scoop out around 1,5 tbsp amounts of dough and roll into balls (I used a mini ice-cream scoop).
7. Add the balls to a baking sheet and add to the oven to bake for about 20 minutes.
8. While the meatballs are baking, let´s prepare the sauce.
9. Add all the ingredients into a sauce pan and stir until well combined.
10. Cook on medium heat while stiring constantly. The sauce will be ready as soon as it reaches  your desired consistency. The longer you cook it, the thicker it will get. Once it´s ready, turn off the heat and wait until the vegan meatballs are done.
11. Add the vegan meatballs to the sauce and stir.
12. Serve and enjoy!
