Breakfast Patties

1/2 cup TVP
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup oat bran
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed sage
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon black strap molasses

Canola oil

Put the TVP into a medium mixing bowl and
pour the boiling water over it. Set aside
for 5 minutes to allow the TVP to absorb
the water.

Add the whole wheat flour, oat bran,
nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sage,
fennel seeds, pepper, salt, and cayenne
to the TVP and stir well.

Stir in the water, tamari, maple syrup,
and molasses and stir the patty mixture
well.

Lightly coat the bottom of a skillet with
canola oil and warm over medium-high heat.
Drop the mixture from a tablespoon to make
patties 2 inches in diameter and flatten
them slightly so they will cook evenly.

Fry 1 to 2 minutes on each side until nicely
browned. Remove the patties to a dish lined
with paper towels and fry the next batch.
Makes 10 to 13 patties.
