Vegan Breakfast Sausage Patties

• 2 cups water (or vegetable broth-I used half each)
• 2 cups quick oats
• 1/2 cup pecan meal
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons turbinado sugar (or sweetening of choice)
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon sage
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
• 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)

1. Bring water and seasonings to a boil. When boiling, add quick oats and pecan meal, stirring well.
2. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Allow to cool. Add rest of ingredients and stir well to incorporate.
3. Form into thin patties and fry in a little olive oil on medium low heat until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. The longer you let them sit the firmer they will be.
