To prepare a vegan breakfast sausage recipe, you'll need: 12 cup (120 g) rolled oats 2 tablespoons (60 ml) ground flax seed 1 teaspoon (2.5 tsp) sea salt 1 tablespoon (25 mg) dried or fresh thyme (optional) 1 pound (450 grams) of chia seeds 1 1/2 cups (240 milliliters) vegetable oil (or canola oil) 2 teaspoons kosher salt Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and prepare your ingredients. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the shredded coconut and cook until melted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove the coconut from the heat and stir in the dry ingredients until the ingredients are evenly coated. Cook the mixture for 2 minutes, then add the wet ingredients and mix to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with your favorite breakfast toppings.
