Vegan Italian Meatloaf Cups- made with marinara and Italian herbs, these little cups are packed full of plant protein and are super easy to make! These vegan meatloaf cups are actually very similar to a lentil loaf but they’re made with pinto beans and are cooked in a muffin tin instead of a loaf pan. Obviously a loaf pan is easier to clean, however, the muffin tin offers a texture advantage since it’s able to cook each portion individually. That means they not only hold together better and are also less likely to be mushy inside.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp. pepper

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1 tsp. dried parsley

  • 1 tsp. dried oregano

  • 3/4 cup marinara sauce, divided

  • 1/4 cup chickpea flour

  • 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast

  • 1 tbsp. vegan Worcestershire sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

  • 1/2 large onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed

Method

  • 01
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, mash pinto beans with a fork or potato masher. Careful not to over mash, we aren’t looking for refried beans, but a nice chunky texture.
  • 02
    To the bowl, add finely chopped onion, oats, minced garlic, vegan Worcestershire, nutritional yeast, chickpea flour, 1/4 cup marinara, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • 03
    Scoop bean mixture into a muffin tin that has been lightly greased or sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 15-17 minutes, until edges, are starting to brown.
  • 04
    Top each muffin with a spoonful of marinara then return to oven for another 10-12 minutes, until muffins are firm and set. Allow cooling for several minutes, as they will firm up even more, before serving.
