Are you looking for a recipe for (low-fat) vegan breakfast sausage patties?! Look no further, friends. I got you.
Baked Vegan Breakfast Sausage Patties
Even before I cut out meat, breakfast sausage was less than desirable. Weird, chewy, hard bits hidden inside, super greasy, made from who knows what animal body part. No thanks. So, if you're seeking a vegan sausage that resembles the texture and mouth-feel of the real thing, it's not this recipe. What this recipe does have is that delicious classic breakfast sausage flavor. Sage, thyme, maple syrup. Mmmmm.
These vegan breakfast sausage patties are healthy, oil-free, and can be made made gluten-free and soy-free. They are even toddler-approved...by a toddler who doesn't typically like beans (or so he thinks.)
I originally tried to make these with chickpeas - because that's my go-to meat substitution for things like meatballs. But I wasn't feeling it. They are much better made with pinto beans. You could also try them with black beans, but pinto is my personal preference.

You don't need any fancy appliances to make these vegan sausages, just a blender (or food processor) to pulse the beans before mixing the seasoning in. Form into patties and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden brown!
I do not recommend frying these patties - they will get mushy.
