Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Lupin flour
• 0.5 cup Vital wheat gluten
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground mustard powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 2 teaspoons Liquid smoke
• 1 tablespoon Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Water
• 4 pieces Low-carb vegan hotdog buns
• 0 as desired Toppings of your choice (e.g., mustard, ketchup, diced onions, vegan cheese, pickles, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine lupin flour, vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, whisk together liquid smoke, tamari, olive oil, and water.

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring. Mix until combined, then knead the mixture with your hands for about 2-3 minutes to form a dough. It should be firm and elastic.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a hotdog-shaped log, roughly 5-6 inches long and about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 5

Wrap each hotdog tightly in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to seal. This will help them hold their shape while cooking.

Step 6

Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Place the foil-wrapped hotdogs into a steamer basket or directly in the boiling water. Steam or boil for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully remove the foil from the hotdogs and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or olive oil and cook the hotdogs for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop a crispy outer layer.

Step 9

Serve the hotdogs in low-carb vegan buns and top with your favorite vegan-friendly condiments and toppings. Enjoy!
