Vegetarian Sausage Patties

Our family will occasionally purchase Morning Star Farms Vegetarian Sausage Patties, but the size of our family can make it really expensive. After some experimenting and playing around with TVP Sausage crumbles, this is the recipe we like the most.

Homemade Vegetarian Sausage Patties

You can enjoy these “sausage patties” for breakfast any time! Plus, if you make a double or triple batch, you can freeze the extras for breakfasts later in the week or month!

Melissa’s Vegetarian Sausage Patties

• 1 cup TVP sausage crumbles
• 3/4 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 3 Tbsp. flour
• 2 Tbsp. maple syrup or brown sugar
• 1 tsp. BAKON yeast powder or 1/2 tsp. liquid smoke
• 1/4 tsp. onion powder
• 1/4 tsp. fennel seed, crushed
• 1/8 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
• 1 tbsp. chia seeds {optional}
• 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
• pinch cayenne
• 1 egg or egg replacer

Add TVP to bowl and pour over boiling water. Allow TVP to soak for a few minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Heat oil in frying pan. Scoop about 2 Tbsp. of mixture into mounds in the frying pan and flatten out slightly. Fry patties on each side until browned.

Note: If you are using an egg replacer, you may need to add a little extra flour so the patties hold together. You can fry one patty as a test. You can either use a purchased egg replacer or use 1 tbsp. ground flax seeds mixed with 3 tbsp. water {allow to soak until thickened}.

Another Note: These patties are easily made gluten free by substituting gluten free flour and gluten free soy TVP sausage crumbles.
