Vegan Values: Italian Style Meatless Meatloaf Muffins
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce, jarred or homemade, divided
- 1/4 c. flax seed, ground
- Two 14 oz cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 of a large onion, chopped
- 3/4 c. oats
- 1 t. minced garlic
- 1T. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 t. olive oil
- 2 T. nutritional yeast
- 1/2 t. dried oregano
- 1 t. dried parsley
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1/4 t. cracked black pepper
- One 5 oz. can of sliced olives (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 c. of the marinara sauce and the ground flax. Stir to combine and set aside to thicken.
- In a large bowl, mash pinto beans with a fork or potato masher.
- Do not over mash, we aren’t looking for refried beans, but a nice chunky texture.
- Add onion, oats, garlic, Worcestershire, olive oil, nutritional yeast, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper.
- Stir to combine.
- Add in marinara flax mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Scoop bean mixture into a muffin tin that has been lightly greased or sprayed with cooking spray.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, until edges are starting to brown. Top each muffin with a spoonful of marinara and a few sliced olives.
- Return to oven for another 10-12 minutes, until muffins are firm and set.
- Allow muffins to cool for several minutes, as they will firm up even more, before serving.
