Vegan Sausage Patties

I used to really enjoy the Morningstar Sausage Patties in my Vegetarian days, but since they are not Vegan friendly I decided to try my hand at making my own.  I know there are other brands that are Vegan, but I just prefer to make my own.  This list of ingredients looks long, but keep in mind that most of it is spices and you can omit a couple if you do not have them.  The fennel is a must, as is the Cayenne and Black Pepper, but the rest is just the combination I came up with that I enjoy.  So if you try to make these and you don't have mace spice on hand, don't panic and don't go spend $13 on it as it is an expensive spice to purchase to use so little.  These are really easy to make and the frozen leftovers are awesome on those mornings when we are eating and running out for school or work.

To accompany the sausages I also made the delicious  Fat Free Vegan French Toast from happyherbivore.com

Vegan Sausage Patties 
Makes 8-10


Ingredients: 

½ cup TVP
½ cup Boiling water
¼ cup Whole wheat flour
¼ cup Flax seed, ground
¼ cup Oatmeal, ground
2 Tbsp Nutritional yeast
1 tsp Garlic powder
½ tsp Crushed sage
½ tsp Ground fennel
½ tsp Black pepper
½ tsp Cayenne
¼ tsp Mace
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
¼ cup Water
½ tsp Liquid smoke
3 Tbsp Braggs liquid aminos
¼ tsp Blackstrap molasses
1-2 Tbsp Safflower oil (for frying)

Directions:

* Stir together TVP and boiling water and set aside to soak for 5 minutes. 

*With a mortar and pestle, grind the oatmeal and flax seed.

*In a medium bowl, mix flour, flax, oats, brown sugar, and dry spices.

*Stir in TVP.

* In a measuring cup, measure out water; add liquid smoke directly to the cup and stir, (this way the smoke will be evenly distributed). Stir in Braggs and Molasses.

*Then add wet to dry; mix well. With your hands, form mixture into 2" balls and flatten slightly into patties.

* Fry in oil in an uncovered frying pan on medium heat, about 2 minutes per side (or until browned).

*Place on a plate covered with a paper towel to cool and absorb extra oil.

* Freeze leftovers (if you have any) and microwave 1-2 minutes to reheat.
