Vegan BLAT

This gluten free Vegan BLAT is so good, you won’t miss the bacon! It has a sweet and savory roasted red pepper spread to compliment the savory tofu bacon.

In the 17 years that I’ve been vegan I have not missed bacon once. Having a blog where I share vegan recipes, I realized how great it is to share vegan substitutions.

There are many people looking for foods to help them transition to a more plant based diet. My Tofu Ricotta has become one of my most visited posts so far.

So, I figure I’ll just keep on creating vegan substitutions to show how easy eating a plant based diet can be.

I used tofu bacon to make this Vegan BLAT. After making some almond bacon awhile back, I knew I would have to use the marinade on tofu also. It has a sweet and smoky flavor from maple syrup and liquid smoke.

I think this is one of my new favorite sandwiches. I added a roasted red pepper spread for a sweet and savory flavor.

If you thin it with water after refrigerating it, it can also be used as a salad dressing.

The buns you see are made from Pamela’s Pizza Mix. I fell in love with their mix after my local grocery store quit selling my previous favorite pizza mix.

Since discovering Pamela’s, I have made Spinach and Tofu Ricotta Calzones and buns for a Balsamic Roasted Vegetable Sandwich with the mix. I don’t think my previous favorite was that versatile!
