I am back and throwing butter into a pan to fry up plant-based breakfast sausage.

If you’re wondering where I have been - I had decided to take some time off to focus on what was and still is taking place in our country. It was also necessary for me to somehow reset since I had neglected to sleep, eat, or take care of my health.

Cheers to being an empath - you probably went through something similar. 

I had been overwhelmed with George Floyd’s death and the chaos on social media, that it was challenging for me to direct any energy to make decent plant-based meals. No regrets on eating bagels every day, though. 

Additionally, I was doing as much as I could to support my Black community, yet, quickly realized that all of this is a marathon, not a sprint. 

As I slowly crawl back to a sense of normalcy, I am also starting to invest some time into Plant Based And Broke. So, here I am.  

On a positive note, I am feeling optimistic and relieved that the general public is starting to understand systemic racism, hidden human rights violations, and beginning to humanize Black people. Although all the country’s problems will not be solved within a snap, real change is rolling out. 

To my supporters, followers, and readers: thank you for being here. I appreciate your patience, your words, and your existence. 

Now, I think we’re all ready for a balanced, plant-based breakfast packed with protein, fiber, and flavor. Get your forks ready! 

Making Plant-Based Breakfast Sausage 

I knew exactly what I wanted this morning: savory and sweet breakfast sausage patties made with all of my favorite spices. Sometimes, I just want an all-American breakfast, and that’ll include tofu scramble, biscuits, and sausages. 

This recipe is gluten-free, vegan, meat-free, savory, and uses affordable ingredients. 

Before we dive into this recipe, there are two things we need to prepare first: chia “egg” and oat flour. 

If you're going for something a little different, try out our tofu sausage crumble recipe.

How To Make A Chia Egg 

• 1 tablespoon of chia seeds 
• 3 tablespoons of water 

Mix the two and allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, until egg/gel-like. You’ll yield an egg-like texture, but without the eggs! 

1 tablespoon of chia seeds yields an equivalent of one egg. 

How To Make Oat Flour 

Oat flour is straightforward to make and it only requires one ingredient: oats. You can use old-fashioned oats or oat bran. For this recipe, I opted for oat bran. 

Pour the oat bran into a high-powered blender and blend until flour-like.

What To Serve With Plant-Based Breakfast Sausages 

Breakfast is my most cherished meal of the day. Mostly because it’s with some of my all-time favorite plant-based dishes that take very little time to make.

From savory to sweet and everything in-between, breakfast will always be a real winner.

How To Press Tofu

Pressing tofu will remove excess water, which will allow the flavor to come in. Additionally, it will help with yielding a firm and stable tofu block. The more water that remains in a tofu blog, the more likely it may crumble and fall apart. 

If you have a tofu press, that’s great. If you don’t, you can easily press tofu with two plates and something heavy - like a book. You’ll want to press the tofu for about 30-45 minutes. 

What You Need: 

• A firm block of tofu 
• Two dinner plates 
• Heavy books 

Directions To Press Tofu: 

1. Remove the block of tofu from its packaging and pour out any excess water. 
2. Lay down a plate, then place the tofu at the center. 
3. Next, add the second plate on top, with its back facing down. 
4. Add a heavy object, like a book, on top of the plate. 
5. Press for at least 1 hour.
