This version of vegan and gluten-free bacon is so tasty it’s hard to stop at just a few strips. The recipe is easy to make and you’ll enjoy the final product once it’s complete.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dried adzuki beans
- 1/3 cup dried buckwheat groats
- 1/3 tsp rubbed sage
- 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tsp smoke paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp celtic salt
- 2 tsp coconut aminos (or tamari)
- 1 tsp liquid smoke (make sure it’s gluten free)
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (for the flavouring)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Directions
- Let adzuki beans and buckwheat groats sit in water overnight.
- The next day…Preheat over to 400 degrees. Drain beans and groats.
- Place in food processor and pulse with other ingredients.
- Scrape down sides of food processor and continue process till ingredients are blended.
- Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with parchment paper.
- Spread batter on sheet with a spatula.
- Cook in oven for about 10 minutes so the batter hardens.
- Take out of oven and cut into bacon strips.
- If you want to eat bacon right away, crisp up strips in a pan with some coconut oil and cook till crispy. If not, put cut up strips in parchment paper and seal in a Ziploc bag in the freezer.
- Remove strips from freezer and cook in pan with coconut oil when ready to use. Fry till crispy or browned on both sides.
Note: When I don’t have adzuki beans on hand, I’ve also used canned pinto beans.
