Vegan Meatloaf/ Burgers/ Meatballs

In my opinion, there’s nothing to cure a case of homesickness like your favorite comfort food made by your mom. My favorite comfort food is meatloaf. Before you turn away in disgust because meatloaf might have a bad rep in your eyes, hear me out! My mom’s meatloaf is made with Stovetop stuffing and meat… that’s it! So, because now I can’t eat her meatloaf, I found a recipe that comes very close to satisfying that craving. This recipe has a great combination of spices (like store-bought stuffing), has protein, and has the moist, fluffiness from the oatmeal. This is my favorite recipe that I have ever made!
