For the Waffles

For the Vegan Sausage

• 1 package Shroomeats Shred It (this product is no longer available. We are searching for an alternative to us!)
• 1 tsp avocado oil
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• ½ tsp thyme
• ¾ tsp garlic powder
• ¾ tsp sage
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ¼ cup water

For the Gravy

• 2 ¼ cups plant milk (we used almond)
• ¼ cup cassava flour (or gluten-free flour of choice)
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ of the prepared Shroomeats Sausage 

Instructions

Prepare the Waffles 

1. Follow the instructions on the Cassavaberry All-Purpose Baking Mix package and set the waffles aside once cooked.
2. PRO TIP: Place cooked waffles on a cooling rack to prevent moisture from building up underneath.

Make the Vegan Sausage

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add avocado oil.
2. Add Shroomeats Shred It and season with fennel, thyme, garlic powder, sage, and pepper.
3. Roughly break up the Shroomeats while cooking and add ¼ cup water.
4. Sauté for about 4 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.  Separate the "sausage" equally into two portions.  Freeze one for later.   

Make the Gravy

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm plant milk.
2. Whisk in cassava flour, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3. Stir in ½ of the prepared Shroomeats Sausage and continue whisking frequently until the mixture bubbles and thickens.
