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.
