Vegetarian Gluten Free No-Meat Loaf

Meat Loaf is a common ‘comfort food’. Making a vegan and gluten free meatloaf is still possible. This recipe calls for eggs, but I would suggest using one of the following substitutes:

1 tablespoon egg replacer powder with 2 tablespoons of warm water
¼ cup blended silken tofu
2 ½ tablespoons flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of warm water
2 tablespoons tomato paste or other vegetable puree (mashed avocados or potatoes )
2 tablespoons unsweetened nut/seed butter
2 tablespoons Gluten Free flour or Gluten Free bread crumbs
2 tablespoons moisten oats
1 teaspoon cornstarch and 3 teaspoons water

After many trials and errors, trying to produce a vegetarian meat loaf I’ve finally succeeded. I’m also gluten free which makes producing a no meat loaf even …

1 small onion , finely chopped
1 carrot , finely chopped
1 celery rib , finely chopped
3 garlic cloves , minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ cup pecan pieces , chopped
2 eggs
½ teaspoon basil , dry
½ teaspoon oregano , dry
¼ teaspoon sage , dry
4 tablespoons ketchup (for tops of mini loaves)
