Vegan Breakfast Sausage Links
These Vegan Breakfast Sausage Links are made from seitan and packed with plant-based protein and flavor.
Equipment
- Food processor (or blender)
- Small bowl
- Parchment paper
- Aluminum foil
- Cast iron skillet (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups vital wheat gluten
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 Not Chick'n Bouillon cube
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried basil
- 2 tsp sage
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 ⅓ cup hot water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and cut 12 rectangles of parchment paper approximately 6-inches by 10-inches.
- Pulse the oats in a food processor until they resemble a fine oat flour, then toss them into a large bowl with the vital wheat gluten. Blend up the remaining dry and wet ingredients in the food processor until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry mixture and knead until no dry bits remain and you’ve got a solid dough.
- Separate the dough into 12 pieces and roll each one into sausage-like shapes, and place them on the parchment paper.
- Tightly roll each sausage in the parchment paper, twisting the ends to seal in the shape. Place all of the rolled sausages onto a large piece of aluminum foil and fold it into a foil packet. Bake at 350°F for 60 minutes, flipping the packet halfway through.
- Enjoy the sausages straight from the oven or crisp them up in a cast iron skillet with a bit of oil over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes per side for that perfect finish.
- That's it! Enjoy!

More Tips
- Not Vegan? Use a chicken bouillon cube or hot chicken broth instead of water. Add feta cheese to the mixture.
- Gluten-Free? Sorry, this recipe is not for you. Seitan is gluten, and there is no good sub for this recipe. For a gluten-free and vegan breakfast meat option, try this Tempeh Bacon or make these Vegan Breakfast Patties with gluten-free flour.
- Oil-Free? Sub the oil for more water, veggie broth, or tomato paste.
