Description

This flavorful vegan breakfast sausage is perfect for those seeking a gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free option. Packed with fiber from lentils and mushrooms, and sweetened with apple and maple, these patties are a delicious start to your day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, stemmed and quartered
  • 1 (19 oz) can lentils, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 apple, peeled and minced or grated, with liquid very well squeezed out
  • 2 tsp gluten-free, low-sodium coconut aminos or tamari
  • 1 ½ tbsp fresh sage, minced
  • 1 ½ tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
  • 1 ½ tbsp fresh thyme, minced
  • 6 tbsp oat flour (gluten-free if desired)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Prepare Mushrooms: Pulse the mushrooms in a food processor until they resemble ground meat. Transfer them to a cheesecloth and wring out as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
  • Prepare Lentils: Drain and rinse the lentils, then squeeze out any excess moisture. In the food processor, puree half of the lentils.
  • Cook Onion: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the minced onion and cook until lightly browned and caramelized, about 30 minutes. (If short on time, sauté for 2 minutes, but caramelizing adds depth of flavor.)
  • Add Ingredients: Add garlic, the squeezed mushrooms, grated apple, maple syrup, coconut aminos or tamari, sage, rosemary, thyme, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until any excess liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are browned.
  • Mix and Form Patties: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the whole and pureed lentils along with the oat flour. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  • Bake Patties: Form the mixture into patties and place them in a greased whoopie pie mold (or on a greased baking sheet). Spritz the patties with olive oil using an oil atomizer. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze them for longer storage.
