Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Cook lentils in vegetable broth until tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain and mash the cooked lentils in a bowl.

Finely chop onion and garlic, then sauté in olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add sautéed onion and garlic to the mashed lentils.

Mix in oats, nutmeg, allspice, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown.

In a separate pan, heat plant-based milk and flour to create a creamy sauce, whisking until smooth.

Serve the meatballs drizzled with the creamy sauce and garnished with parsley.
