Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block (about 14 oz) firm tofu
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1.25 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
Instructions
Start by preparing the sausage mixture: Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into a large mixing bowl.
Add rolled oats, ground flaxseed, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sage, and black pepper to the tofu. Mix until combined.
Using a food processor, blend the sausage mixture until it is well mixed yet has some texture. Form into 4 patties. Set aside.
In another bowl, prepare the pancake mixture: whisk together whole wheat flour and baking powder.
Pour in the almond milk and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and just combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter into the pan to form a small circle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the skillet with oil as needed. Aim to make 8 pancakes.
Using the same skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and heated through.
To assemble the McGriddles, place one pancake on a plate, drizzle a little maple syrup over it, top with a sausage patty, and cover with another pancake. Repeat for the remaining pieces.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan homemade Sausage McGriddles!
