The Best Traditional Meatless Meatloaf

Hearty loaf of chickpeas, nuts and vegetables and topped with tangy balsamic glaze. 

Chickpea Loaf with Balsamic Glaze

chickpeas,

almonds

Tbsp flaxseeds

rolled oats (gluten free if necessary)

chestnuts,

thyme

nutmeg

Tblsp balsamic vinegar

black pepper

Tbsp olive oil**

red onion, finely chopped

ribs, celery, finely chopped

carrot,

portobello mushrooms

vegetable broth

garlic,

Tbsp balsamic vinegar

cornstarch

tomato passata

To make the chickpea loaf, place the chickpeas in a large bowl and mash them with a potato masher, leaving only a few chunks.

Combine the almonds, flaxseed and oats in a food processor and pulse a few times until the ingredients resemble a flour like consistency.

Add the almond mixture to the chickpeas. Add the chestnuts, thyme, nutmeg, vinegar, salt and black pepper. Combine.

Heat olive oil (or water) in large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent. Add the carrot, mushrooms, broth and garlic and cook for 6 - 8 minutes, until vegetables are soft. Add the vegetables to the chickpeas and combine.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Spoon the chickpea mixture into the loaf pan and press down evenly with a spoon. Set chickpea loaf aside.

Make Glaze. Top loaf with small portion of glaze.

Bake for 60 minutes. Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes before removing from pan and slicing.

Combine vinegar and cornstarch in small saucepan and mix well. Add the broth, tomato passata and syrup  (or molasses) and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Let the glaze simmer for 3 - 4 minutes until it has thickened, then take saucepan off of the heat. Brush loaf with glaze, reserving the remaining for serving.

Balsamic Glaze

Chickpea meatloaf is &quot;meaty&quot; (although meatless) and flavourful, with an incredible smoky maple glaze that will have you salivating for more.

Chickpea Meatloaf with Smoked Maple Glaze

flax eggs (or chia eggs)

carrots (peeled & finely chopped)

onion (finely chopped)

chickpeas

tbsp tamari (or soy sauce if not avoiding gluten)

yeast

onion powder

smoked paprika

salt + pepper

cayenne pepper (optional)

Prepare your flax or chia eggs by combining 2 tablespoons of seeds with 6 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and set aside to thicken. Then line a loaf pan with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 400 degrees F convection bake.

Add the chopped carrots and onion to a skillet and dry sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened. Add a tablespoon or two of water if needed to prevent sticking.

Meanwhile, add the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork, without over mashing. You want most of the chickpeas crushed, but no need to make sure every single one is mashed.

Then add the sautéed veggies along with the tamari, chia eggs, breadcrumbs and all the seasoning (but NOT your smoked maple glaze ingredients) to the same bowl and mix well. Make sure to mix thoroughly to distribute the chia eggs and seasoning very well. Then taste and add salt and pepper, if needed.

Pour the mixture into your prepared loaf pan and press down firmly using your hands or a silicone spatural and smooth the top. Bake for 30 minutes and remove from the oven.

While the loaf is baking, combine all the glaze ingredients in a small pot and bring to a medium boil and cook for 10 minutes, whisking often. This will thicken your sauce slightly.

Brush about one third of the glaze over your meatloaf with a silicone brush and return to the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before transfering to a cuting board. Use the parchment paper to lift and transfer the loaf. Let cool on your cutting board for at least 10 minutes longer, and then slice and serve with the extra glaze.

Drain the chickpeas and beans really well. In a food processor, process the chickpeas, beans, cilantro, parsley and half of the cooked veggie mixture. Pulse, process until the mixture is half mashed and half coarsely chunky. You can add a handful of greens in as well at this step. .

Transfer the mixture to parchment lined loaf pan with parchment sheet hanging out to make it easy to remove the loaf. Even it out(by lightly pressing. too much pressing will make a mashed texture loaf )  If you don&#x27;t have a pan, use a parchment lined baking sheet and shape into a rectangular log.

Prepare the glaze by mixing everything and spread over the loaf.

Cover the loaf with parchment, bake at pre-heated 400 degrees F / 200ºc for 20 minutes. Remove the cover and continue to bake for another 15 to 25 minutes, till toothpick from the center comes out clean. Bake longer for taller loaf or if you want crispier edges.

CHICKPEA VEGGIE LOAF RECIPE – VEGAN MEATLOAF - Nutfree | Vegan Richa Recipes

This hearty vegetarian meatloaf is made with chickpeas, oats and vegetables for a satisfying, savoury meal that's perfect for the holidays and family meals.

Chickpea Loaf

rolled oats (100 g)

almonds, walnuts

tbsp ground flax (14 g)

x 14 oz

soy sauce

tomato sauce

celery,

tsp sea salt

paprika paprika

cayenne pepper, optional

tbsp balsamic or apple cider vinegar (15 mL)

Take your time finely chopping all the veggies, you don&#8217;t want any huge chunks in the finished loaf.

Add the onions, carrot, garlic, celery and mushroom to a large pot on the stovetop with 1 tbsp of water. Cook over medium heat for 6-7 minutes then stir in the salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, thyme and onion powder (and cayenne if using) and cook for a couple more minutes. While the veggies are cooking, continue with the rest of the recipe.

Add the oats, nuts and flax to a food processor and blend into a grainy flour. Add the chickpeas, soy sauce and tomato sauce and pulse or blend briefly to combine. You may need to pulse a few times, then open the food processor and mix it up, then pulse a couple more times. Be careful not to totally pulverize the chickpeas. They should be broken down but not mushy. A few pulses or seconds of blending should do the trick. Some of the mixture will turn into paste at the bottom of the food processor, that&#8217;s ok. 

When the veggies are done, turn off the heat and dump the contents from the food processor into the pot. Stir well to thoroughly combine into a uniform mixture.

Line a loaf pan (see notes on size) with parchment paper so it sticks out over the long edges of the pan. This will allow you to lift the loaf out once done. Firmly press the chickpea mixture into the pan using your hands or the back of a wooden spoon. It will seem like the mixture might not fit in the pan but just keep packing it down and it will fit.

Mix the glaze ingredients together in a bowl then spread over the loaf.

Once the oven has reached 350 F, bake the loaf uncovered for 60 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let sit in the pan for 15 minutes. Run a knife along any edges that weren&#8217;t lined with parchment then lift the loaf out of the pan and place on a cooling rack for another 15 minutes before slicing into 10 portions. You can shorten the 30 minutes of cooling if needed but the longer it sits, the firmer it gets. If you slice it too soon, it may be a little crumbly.

Serve with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley and a drizzle of ketchup, if desired.

Wow! This tastes better than meatloaf made with beef. The flavor and texture was nice. And it had tons of vegetables instead of tons of grease! I doubled this recipe and used 1 bag dried chickpeas I cooked the day before, It was close to 6 cups. I used two eggs instead of the flaxseed, and with the other ingredients doubled it fit nicely into a 9x13 Pampered Chef stoneware pan. I baked it for 60 minutes and it was perfect. I greased the pan instead of using parchment paper. It came out fine without sticking. I will definitely make this again!

As a lacto-ovo vegetarian this was delicious.  When I was a carnivore meatloaf was my favorite meal. When I went vegetarian I found an awesome black bean meatloaf, which I love because black beans are my favorite. 
What made this out of the world was the Glaze. I doubled all ingredients to make more. That Glaze was heaven and will start using that on my black bean meatloaf also.
Next? I've seen lentil loads as well as Nut loafs.
That Glaze though....geez

I mentioned how awesome the Glaze was, but did not mention how I made it, as the recipe gives many options.
This is how I made the most delicious loaf Glaze in the world:

2/3c Tomato Sauce 
4tbl. Light Blue Agave
2tbl. Apple Cider Vinegar

Let sit in fridge 

Basically I Doubled what the recipe suggested

Wow! I didn't expect it to taste this good! I replaced the mushrooms with about a tablespoon of miso paste I will definitely be making this on repeat!
