Vegan/Vegetarian Sausage Patties

• 12 cup textured vegetable protein
• 12 cup boiling water
• 14 cup whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour)
• 14 cup flax seed meal
• 14 cup oat bran or 14 cup wheat bran
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 12 teaspoon crushed sage
• 12 teaspoon ground fennel
• 14 teaspoon black pepper
• 18 teaspoon cayenne
• 14 cup water
• 12 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
• 3 tablespoons Braggs liquid aminos or 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 14 teaspoon blackstrap molasses
• oil (for frying)

1. Stir together tvp and boiling water and set aside to soak for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, mix flour, flax, bran, and dry spices; stir to incorporate.
3. Stir in tvp.
4. In a measuring cup, measure out water; add liquid smoke directly to the cup and stir, if using (this way the smoke will be evenly distributed).
5. Stir in other liquid ingredients, then add wet to dry; mix well.
6. With your hands, form mixture into 2" balls and flatten slightly into patties.
7. Fry in oil in an uncovered frying pan on medium heat, about 2 minutes per side (or until browned).
8. Freeze leftovers (if you have any) and microwave 1-2 minutes to enjoy on busy weekday mornings.
