Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the TVP, vegetable broth, and flaxseed meal. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so the TVP can soak up the liquid. Once that’s ready, add the oats, nutritional yeast, flour, gluten, and all the spices—sage, black pepper, fennel seeds, garlic powder, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and cayenne. Give everything a good mix until it’s well combined.

Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, and maple syrup. Pour this mixture into the TVP bowl and stir until it forms a slightly crumbly dough. Knead it a bit to help the gluten develop, then let it rest for 5 minutes. The dough should firm up and be less crumbly.

Next, shape the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and gently flatten each one into a patty. Heat a little oil in a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they’re nicely browned and cooked through. Serve warm and enjoy!
