The BEST Vegan Breakfast Sausage - Made from chickpeas!!!

This breakfast sausage recipe is vegan, made from whole foods and it's darn delicious!
Chickpea Breakfast Sausage
Ingredients
- 1 can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 cup of oats (divided in half)
- 1/2 onion diced
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp flax seed
- 1/2 onion diced
- 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried fennel seeds
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper
2. Dice and sauté the onion over medium heat using a tbsp of water to deglaze the pan and caramelize the onions
3. Once onions are softened add the spices, salt and fennel to the onions and stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant
4. Then, deglaze the pan with the wet ingredients, tamari, maple syrup, vinegar, liquid smoke and Worcestershire
5. Stir for 1-2 mins and reduce to low
6. Next, in a food processor or high speed blender, add 1/2 cup of the oats, the walnuts, flax seed and the nutritional yeast
7. Pulse on low until the walnuts and oats are ground to a powder
8. Next add the chickpeas and the onion mixture and pulse until mostly smooth
9. Lastly, add in the remaining (1/2 cup) of oats and pulse to combine
10. Wet your hands and scoop the mixture into about 2tbsp balls and flatten into disks, this will make 6-8 sausages depending on the size
11. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip over and bake for another 15 minutes, let cool slightly and enjoy!
Note: You can freeze these for an easy breakfast addition! (just wrap in parchment or tin foil)

Nice to see a sausage recipe w/o junk. I can't wait to give these a try.

[@chickpeachick]

That’s how I like it, no junk! Hope you enjoy them 😊

[@JL-tf9ru]

I just now made the "batter", and I have to say that this is the most delicious vegan breakfast sausage I have tried. I quadrupled the recipe because I work, and thought to freeze some. I have 2 men to cook for here, and they are going to love it. I did cut down on the red pepper a little because I only had ground, and I used low sodium soy sauce. I also added some miso paste and some veggie bouillon. Didn't add the salt. This sausage has tons of flavor! Girl, you can cook! Thank you!

[@chickpeachick]

Thank you!!! I’m so pleased you enjoyed the recipe, and yes it should freeze well! 🤗

[@StevieLWeisend]

These look amazing, I am definitely going to try it. I want to make a vegan breakfast taco, so I am looking for sausage inspired.

[@chickpeachick]

Thank you! Oh yes these would go perfect in a breakfast taco, and you could even sub the spices for taco seasoning 🤤

[@giselleplantbasedvegan9174]

Great recipe, will definitely give it a try. I love making patties and no-meatballs using chickpeas and other ingredients. Thanks for sharing 🌟

[@chickpeachick]

Thank you! 😊 I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

[@tamsondarland8951]

Thank you for posting complete recipe in description box area. This sounds so delicious and budget friendly too. Yum.

[@chickpeachick]

It really is! I hope you try it, and let me know what you think. Thanks for watching! :)

Love this! Always looking for plant-based meals as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and possible BLV in dairy and choline and lead in eggs and the igf-1 and DDT in meat. Thanks for sharing

[@chickpeachick]

My family has a history of cancer as well. So glad you are enjoying my recipes!

[@lelaknox]

Looks amazing! Chickpeas are the best, and I can't wait to make this!

[@chickpeachick]

They are my fav legume (hence my name) lol thank you!!

[@haroldwood1394]

Thanks for that; I'll definitely try it. I appreciated the clear, straightforward presentation too.

[@chickpeachick]

Thank you!! I hope you give it a try and let me know what you think 😊

[@644hoopdancer]

I made this recipe this morning. I followed it exactly and they came out perfect! I love that the ingredients are pantry staples and this is a much healthier alternative than some of the store-bought mock meats. They were delicious straight out of the oven with nothing added. I am looking forward to making a breakfast sandwich with these but I also think they would be fantastic on top of like a nourish grain bowl with maybe a roasted red pepper tahini sauce. Have you tried crumbling up the patties once they're cooked to add them to different recipes? Thank you for sharing. I am a new subscriber.

[@chickpeachick]

I’m so happy you liked them!! I have not tried crumbling them but that is such a great idea! If you try it, please let me know how it is, and thanks for subscribing 😊

[@hankhury8483]

So nice to see a comment by someone who actually made the recipe instead of “this looks delicious, can’t wait to try it”. 🙄. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@644hoopdancer]

@@chickpeachick I made this recipe again this weekend, leaving out the fennel this time, but following it exactly otherwise. I put them in the fridge overnight. Today I crumbled them up into a skillet, (I just used my hands and it was easy after chilling them overnight). I sautéed with a bit of oil along with a couple tablespoons of taco seasoning and then splashes of water as needed until the crumbles browned and crisped. It came out delicious!

[@Kayte...]

What i like about sausage is the flavor and texture. Flavor is easy to duplicate, texture another thing. I'll give these a try. I think the best way to duplicate texture is with seitan or other gluten product which i need to avoid. Thanks for the recipe, it sounds like it'll taste awesome. The walnuts will help give it texture and form. I might try adding shrooms too.

[@chickpeachick]

Yes you could definitely add mushrooms in with the onion mixture, that would be great! 👍🏻

OMG WE TRIED IT!! IT'S GREAT! SERIOUSLY YUMMY and best one I have tried so far on the web!!! Honestly I do not think it can be beat!! Lily, we made the original recipe with the maple syrup when we were making sausages and then, we simply omitted the maple syrup and used this same recipe for burgers!!! YUM!!! So flexible and soooo amazing !! THANK YOU. Also made sandwhiches and wraps with it (after cutting up!) We are very happy!

[@chickpeachick]

Such a great compliment!! I’m SO pleased that you really enjoyed the recipe, and made it your own with the burgers! Such a good idea! 🤗

[@babyy_flower]

[@maggiezemanek9656]

I really shouldn't watch this when I'm starving!😄 Ty!

[@AugustusOmega]

if your body is burning fat instead of glucose, then I dont beleive you feel starvation. If you have fatty reserves, when you fast for extended periods like 10 days or a month, you would quickly discover that when you are burning fat there is never hunger, only nostalgic memories of food you like to tempt you, but the road is no hunger bound. If you're a fatty, you body has much to eat.

68 ingredients flavoring the chickpeas? You could use a dish rag instead with all those spices etc and it would taste good.

[@chickpeachick]

Just out here trying my best to flavor food well! Maybe I can come up with a recipe that’s made with simpler ingredients 😊

[@martinarcher1503]

@@chickpeachick no offense intended, but a lot of people resort to chickpeas out of frugality, and they are not likely to have all those ingredients to add. Face it, chickpeas are not on most people's list of tastiest foods. Perhaps a slimmed down version of this recipe to achieve most of the flavor with less ingredients

[@martinarcher1503]

nutritional yeast and vegetable bouillon can work wonders

[@garth56]

I'm saddened because this girl used minced garlic in a jar..It's a complete waste of time..In fact I wish this product would be just put in a a bin.. Americans don't you just lov'mm So a reference to all Americans..Cider is made from guess what yes APPLES it's not made from any other fruit..So we have oxymoron's when we say apple apple..
