  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon salt
 *optional

Chickpea Flour "Egg" (makes 2 "eggs")

  • ½ cup chickpea flour [60g]
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast [5g]
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Buttermilk Pancakes (makes 4 pancakes)

  • ¾ cup all purpose flour [90g]
  • 1 tablespoon organic sugar [12g]
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder [7g]
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk [240ml]
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup [30g]
  • Spray oil
  • 2 slices vegan cheese American or Cheddar

Instructions
 

Prepare Lentil Oat "Sausage" Patties

  • Preheat oven to 400F [200C].
  • Add the lentils and water into a pot. Bring to a boil and cook until all the water is absorbed, about 20-30 minutes.
  • Add the oats into a blender and blend almost until they reach oat flour. Let it have a little bit of texture to provide texture to the patty.
  • Once the lentils are cooked and all the water is gone add them into a bowl. Mash them up until mostly broken down but leaving a bit of texture.
  • Then add the oats, soy sauce and seasonings. Mix well to incorporate.
  • Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup scoop in the patty mixture and shape into a patty.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You will get 4 patties from this. Make them a bit on the thinner side and shape them into a nice circle.
  • Bake for 18 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Prepare Pancakes

  • While they bake prepare the pancakes. Add the apple cider vinegar into the non-dairy milk and set aside for a few minutes to curdle.
  • In a bowl add the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Use a whisk to mix everything and break down any big clumps.
  • Add in the buttermilk and whisk until smooth. I like to add the batter into a measuring cup for easy pouring. You should have 2 cups of batter, which will help for making even pancakes later on.
  • To make the pancakes spray the ring mold (homemade or storebought) with a lot of oil. YOU DO NOT WANT THE PANCAKES TO STICK.
  • Add it to a pan on medium low heat and spray the pan inside. Then add in about ¼ cup of pancake batter. Let this cook until bubbles are forming on the top and it looks slightly dry.
  • Then drizzle in a bit of the maple syrup. Let it cook for another minute.
  • Then add another ¼ cup of the batter. Let this cook for another 3-5 minutes until the top looks somewhat dry. You can add a top to help it cook quicker. You will also see the batter starting to cook and pull away from the sides of the mold.
  • Carefully remove the mold (it will be hot) and flip the pancake. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until it looks cooked and fluffy.
  • Repeat with remaining batter and you will have 4 pancakes (2 for each sandwich).

Prepare Vegan Egg

  • In a bowl add all the ingredients for the chickpea flour "egg" and whisk until smooth. This will be thinner.
  • In a non-stick pan spray a bit of cooking spray and add ½ of the batter.
  • Cook on a low heat until it looks dry (about 5-6 mins) on the top and then flip. Cook for another 5 minutes after flipping.
  • To make a folded "egg" appearance fold the sides up into a smaller rectangle. You can watch how I did it in the video.
  • Optional: you can cook the "sausage" patty in the pan for a few minutes in 1 tsp of oil to add some extra fat and richness to it.

Assemble

  • To assemble the sandwich add a pancake and then a slice of vegan cheese. Let that melt for a few minutes.
  • Then add the "sausage" patty, folded "egg" and other pancake. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can prepare the patties ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze and then warm up before use.
  • You will have 4 patties, 2 leftover to use as you like.
