Ingredients

• 1 cup Vital wheat gluten
• 0.25 cup Chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Ground smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon Sage powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.75 cup Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, ground fennel seeds, sage powder, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to blend the spices evenly.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: soy sauce and vegetable broth.

Step 3

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spoon until a dough starts to form. Knead the dough in the bowl for about 2-3 minutes to help develop the gluten. The dough should be firm and elastic, but not sticky.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet in a single layer without overcrowding.

Step 6

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and slightly crispy, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.

Step 7

Remove from the skillet and serve warm with your favorite breakfast sides, such as toast, avocado, or vegan scrambled tofu. The patties can also be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
