Place lentils in a strainer over a bowl. Let drain as you mix your ingredients.
In a small bowl, combine raisins with the vanilla and let soak. If not using raisins, add vanilla to the batter at step 7.
Heat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Grease the bottom and sides of an 8 ½" x 4 ½" loaf tin (a 9" x 5" tin will work too).
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well blended.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the oil and sugars. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until combined.
Switch to a large rubber spatula. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then add the dry ingredients in 2 parts, gently stirring until they disappear and the batter is smooth.
Check your lentils. Gently press them against the strainer to remove any remaining liquid; discard the liquid and stir the lentils into the batter, along with the nuts, raisins, and vanilla.
Pour into the prepared loaf tin. Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40-55 minutes.
