These Vegan Meatloaf Muffins are really delicious and simple lentil snacks. You can easily double or triple this recipe if you are feeding a crowd. I usually allow 2 muffins per serving. These are great to add to school lunchboxes or a picnic basket!
To make these vegan muffins, start by mixing ground flaxseeds and water in a small bowl and set aside. Saute the onion. Once softened, add garlic, celery, and carrots. Transfer the sauteed vegetables to a mixing bowl. Add cooked lentils, Italian seasoning, ketchup, Dijon mustard, panko breadcrumbs, flaxseed mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. Fold until well combined. Place lentil mixture into the muffin cups and press each one down. Mix ¼ cup of ketchup and balsamic vinegar together and brush each lentil muffin with a little of the mixture. Bake in the oven. Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the muffins to rest before carefully removing and serving.
To make the Vegan Meatloaf Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat the oven to 350 °F.

Place the onion in a pan with some water over medium heat. Saute until the onion is soft and slightly translucent.
Add 3 minced cloves of garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
Add ¼ cup each of celery and carrots. Saute until softened. If the pan appears dry, add a splash of water.
Add 3 cups of cooked lentils to a large mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs, the flaxseed mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the cooked vegetables to the bowl and fold all the ingredients together until well combined.
Spoon the lentil mixture into the muffin cups and press each one down tightly.
Mix ¼ of cup ketchup with 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Brush the top of each lentil muffin with a little of the mixture.
Bake the muffins in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes. Carefully remove from the muffin pan to serve.
