Vegan Sausage – Italian, Breakfast, And Beer Brats

During the time that I was vegan and not yet gluten free, I enjoyed the store-bought vegan sausages, but still only purchased them occasionally due to the expense.  I was sad when I had to give them up completely because they contained gluten and surprised to find that almost none of the brands were gluten free.

Determined to make a vegan and gluten free sausage that was also budget friendly, I tried many different methods until I finally perfected the flavor and texture.

I’m excited to share this recipe with all of you now!
