Start your morning with a delicious and hearty vegan sausage that's full of flavor and plant-based goodness. This easy recipe is perfect for a satisfying breakfast that everyone will love.
Start by combining the TVP, vegetable broth, and flaxseed meal in a big bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so the TVP can soak up the liquid. Then, add the oats, nutritional yeast, flour, vital wheat gluten, sage, black pepper, fennel seeds, garlic powder, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and a pinch of cayenne. Give everything a good mix until it’s well combined.
In a separate bowl or cup, whisk together the water, soy sauce, and maple syrup. Pour this wet mixture into the TVP mixture and stir until it forms a slightly crumbly dough. Knead it a bit in the bowl to help the gluten develop, then let it rest for another 5 minutes. You’ll notice the dough firming up and becoming easier to handle.
Next, shape the dough into small balls about a tablespoon in size, then gently press them down to form patties. Heat some oil in a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, until they’re nicely browned and cooked through. Enjoy them warm as a tasty breakfast treat!
- Cook on medium heat to ensure the sausage browns evenly without burning.
- Use a non-stick pan or a little oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Press down gently while cooking to create a nice crust and help the sausage hold its shape.
