In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and set aside to allow it to gel.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the chopped mushrooms and continue to cook for another 3 minutes.
Stir in the steel-cut oats and mix well with the vegetables.
Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the garlic powder, sage, smoked paprika, thyme, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the mixture simmer for about 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the mixture thickens.
Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the soy sauce and the flaxseed mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, then pour the oat mixture into the pan, packing it down firmly.
Cover the pan and refrigerate the goetta for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.
Once chilled, remove the goetta from the fridge and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
In a skillet over medium heat, fry the goetta slices for about 5 minutes on each side until crisp and golden brown.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious vegan goetta as part of your favorite breakfast.
