This meatless sausage patty is the most convincing non meat-trying-to-be-meat recipe I have ever made. I first learned it from a Youtube channel called I’m Still Workin. Since she uploaded the video, a few other Youtubers shared their own versions and I was so impressed, I decided to present my own rendition. (Check out her video here.)
How Was Meatless Sausage Developed?
This recipe for poor man’s sausage was developed during World War 2 when meat was rationed and either doubled its volume by fillers or replaced by fillers all together, like this recipe.
What Is Meatless Sausage Made Of?
It uses rolled oats combined with sausage spices and eggs. You form the mixture into patties and fry until golden.
Then you add a flavourful stock and simmer for 20 minutes, then fry them again. The result is a perfectly springy, spicy and surprisingly satisfying “sausage” patty! Simmering the patties after the first browning seemed a little odd to me at first, but I believe this step creates the meaty texture one tries to achieve when emulating meat from plants. The liquid can include a boullion cube, soy sauce, herb scraps or nothing at all. I recommend adding at least a little flavour to it as sausage is naturally a savoury, flavour packed delight.
How Can I Make Meatless Sausage Vegan?
If you want to make these vegan, replace the 2 eggs with 6 tablespoons of aquafaba. I have tried it, and it works! This is simply the water that is drained from a can of chickpeas, or saved from cooking your own. Only until recently it was discovered that aquafaba (“bean water”), can replace eggs in many vegan recipes. If you’d like to learn more about aquafaba and even make your own, click here and I will show you how!
You can also use flax eggs. For each egg required in a recipe, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed with 2 tablespoons of water. Allow it to sit for several minutes until it turns thick and goopy, like egg. This acts as a binder, making it a suitable replacer for eggs. It is also a high source of Omega-3, among other benefits. If times are tough or you are trying to cut back on meat but still crave a hearty, satisfying sausage patty–try this recipe! They make great breakfast sandwiches. You can also crumble them into simmering tomato sauce for a tempting meat free Bolognese. If you didn’t tell a carnivore the difference, they likely would never know. I challenge you to try it!
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning OR 1/4 teaspoon sage, 1/4teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs OR 3 egg whites OR 6 tablespoons aquafaba
2 cups water
1 boullion cube or 2 teaspoons soy sauce
Instructions
In a medium bowl combine oats with poultry seasoning (or sage, thyme, rosemary and oregano), fennel seeds, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, red chili flakes (if using), parsley flakes, salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Add to oat mixture and stir well to combine. Allow to rest for 30 minutes. Oats will hydrate and mixture will be easier to form.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add boullion cube or soy sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
Form oat mixture into 4 or 5 patties. In a medium skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil on medium and fry patties until golden, 1-2 minutes. Flip and brown the other side.
Reduce heat and add hot stock. Allow patties to come to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cover and allow to cook for 20 minutes.
Discard stock or save for gravy. Return pan to medium heat and add a little more oil. Fry the patties a second time, flipping after a minute or two. Remove and serve immediately.
What is Impossible Sausage made of? Impossible Sausage Made From Plants contains many of the same ingredients you recognize from Impossible™ Burger. It's packed with soy protein, sunflower oil and coconut oil for a fatty mouthfeel, and soy leghemoglobin for a craveable, meaty taste.
In May 2021, Kellogg subsidiary Morningstar Farms changed the recipe of their Original Breakfast Sausage patties to align with a new company-wide vegan initiative. This effort was spearheaded by Sara Young, VP & GM at Morningstar Farms / Plant-based Proteins for Kellogg Company.

The key ingredient in vegan sausage is typically either pea protein or soy protein, along with one or more oils (canola, coconut, sunflower), spices and other plant-based additions. Nutritional value varies depending on the manufacturer's precise recipe.
If you choose to pan-fry your Beyond Sausage, start by heating a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the sausages in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally until they're evenly browned.
The truth is, probably not. Plant-based sausages sold in supermarkets are likely to have just as much salt as their meat counterparts, so they're unlikely to make it onto a list of health-foods. However, vegan sausages are likely to have considerably less saturated fat making them a healthier option overall.
... Molds growth on dry-ripened foods has been associated with off-flavors and unpleasant appearance. For example, Cladosporium oxysporum is responsible for black spot formation in sausages [13] , and Scopulariopsis brevicaulis or Mucor spp.
New laboratory tests have found that veggie burgers and meat-free corn dogs made by natural foods brand Morningstar Farms contain genetically modified soy and the controversial genetically altered feed corn, StarLink, that has not been approved for human consumption.
They are easily one of the best vegan sausage variations we tried. They actually have a nice little kick. I want one of these meatless sausage links on a hoagie roll with sauteed onions and red bell peppers, marinara sauce (aka gravy), and lots of melted mozzarella cheese.
