Ingredients
 

  • 1 tablespoon plant-based butter or oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 7 oz white mushrooms, finely diced (200 g)
  • 1 medium potato, grated
  • 1 tin cannellini beans, drained and mashed (14 oz / 400 g – you could use any white beans)
  • 1 tablespoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper (see notes)
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg (see notes)
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds (optional)
  • 9 oz pinhead oats (250 g – see notes)
  • 14 oz veg stock (400 ml – plus more water if needed)
  • 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Heat the butter in a pan. Add the onion and cook for 5-6 minutes. Season with a little salt.
  • Add in the finely diced mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Next, add the grated potato, drained and mashed white beans, sage, white pepper, nutmeg, coriander, and fennel seeds. Mix everything well and cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).
  • To the pan, add the pinhead oats, veg stock, nutritional yeast, miso paste, and another small pinch of salt. Cook for 15 minutes on a low heat, stirring regularly. The mix should become quite thick, but add a splash more water if it seems too thick.
  • After 15 minutes, turn off the heat. Spoon the mix into a greased loaf tin and bake in the oven for approx. 30 minutes. To make the outside extra crispy, turn up the heat slightly towards the end.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to stand for five minutes before serving.
  • Extra step (but worth it!): Once the white pudding has cooled to room temperature (and ideally had a chance to firm up properly in the fridge), cut into slices and fry in plant-based butter or oil for a few minutes on each side.
    Serve with ketchup or other vegan breakfast items as part of a larger meal.

Notes

Slicing: The loaf should slice quite easily once it's had a chance to firm up in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. You may want to flip it out onto a clean surface or chopping board first.
Oats: To get the right consistency, it's important to use pinhead or 'steel-cut' oats here. Oats are a naturally gluten-free ingredient, but due to some processing environments you may want to ensure that yours are certified GF if necessary.
White pepper and nutmeg: Don't go overboard with heaped teaspoons here – you'll want a level teaspoon of each.
Potato: Any variety of white potato will do, and it's up to you whether you peel it or just scrub it. You could also substitute with a similar amount of leftover mash.
Gluten-free: To ensure this recipe is 100% gluten-free, use oats, miso paste, and a vegan stock that have been certified as such. These ingredients are often gluten-free by default, but it's best to check if you need to be sure. 
Storage: This should keep well in the fridge for up to four days or freezer for up to six months.
