Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground sage
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir to mix and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a flax egg.
In a food processor, add the rolled oats. Pulse several times until the oats are ground into a fine flour.
Add the chickpeas, walnuts, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground sage, black pepper, and salt to the food processor. Process until the mixture comes together and is well combined, but still slightly chunky for texture.
Add the flax egg and pulse a few more times to fully incorporate.
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a small sausage-shaped patty or log. Repeat with the remaining mixture, setting the patties aside on a plate.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil or nonstick cooking spray. Once hot, add the sausage patties in a single layer, leaving space between them.
Cook the sausages for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Serve immediately, or let cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
