Ingredients
  

Seitan Nuggets

  • 1 cup White Beans
  • 2 cups Vital Wheat Gluten
  • ⅓ cup Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 tsp Poultry Seasoning
  • 2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • ¾ tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Vegetable Flavored Chicken Broth
  • 10 cups Vegetable Flavored Chicken Broth or Veggie Broth - can do half broth & half water, or salted water.

Flour Mix

  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Four
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 2 tsp Parsley
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Pepper

Breadcrumbs & Plant Milk

  • 1½ cups Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1½ cups Plant Milk

Instructions
 

  • First add in all of the ingredients for the seitan nuggets (except for the vegetable broth) into a blender or food processor and pulse to break up the beans and mix everything together.
  • Once everything is combined add in the veggie broth and pulse again until everything comes together.
  • Transfer the dough onto a counter and knead for a few minutes. Roll the dough into a long log and slice it with a knife to make nugget sized pieces. Shape the nuggets into your desired size.
  • Add your nuggets into a pot of chicken flavored vegetable broth and boil for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile make your flour mix by mixing the ingredients into a bowl.
  • Add breadcrumbs into another bowl and plant milk in another.
  • Once the nuggets have finished boiling dunk them into the plant milk, then into the flour mixture, back into the plant milk, and lastly into the breadcrumbs.
  • Place your nuggets onto a baking tray and bake at 425f for 20-25 minutes until golden.
  • Alternatively you can air fry your nuggets in batches at 400f for 12-15 minutes. I found the nuggets were much crispier when cooked in the air fryer.
  • Dunk in ketchup, vegan ranch or BBQ sauce and enjoy!
