They can be made into large sausages for grilling (Hello, vegan sausage in a bun with mustard and sauerkraut), or made into small breakfast sausages perfect for brunch, scrambles, hashes, and more! The possibilities are endless. The best part? Just 10 ingredients required and perfect for preparing ahead of time and pulling out of the refrigerator or freezer as needed! Let us show you how it’s done.
How to Make Vegan Sausage
These vegan sausages are made with a base of oats, pinto beans, and cremini mushrooms. This wholesome combination supplies each sausage link with 3 grams of fiber, over 4 grams of protein, and an assortment of B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, and zinc. Walnuts contribute additional nutrients (like omega-3s!) and provide a subtle and pleasant crunch. Flaxseed adds even more omega-3 goodness and serves as the binder. Garlic, fennel seeds, and smoked paprika provide classic sausage flavors and optional cayenne adds a little heat. Coconut aminos adds saltiness and depth of flavor, while salt and pepper add additional saltiness and spice. Once formed into sausage links (or larger sausages for grilling), they’re wrapped with parchment paper to seal in moisture for steaming. After steaming, the sausages become darker in color, more firm, and hold together just like real sausages. At this point, they’re ready for browning in a skillet or freezing for a quick and easy preparation whenever the craving strikes. We hope you LOVE these vegan sausages! They’re:SavorySmokySaltySatisfying& SO versatile! Enjoy them for breakfast or brunch with vegan eggs, sunny side up eggs (if not vegan), added to scrambles, or alongside baked beans. They’d also be delicious on their own with hot sauce or ketchup, or in a bun with mustard and sauerkraut.
