Vegan Octoberfest Weiners, otherwise known as brats, are a meatless version of the beloved German sausages. These vegan weiners are made with vital gluten flour, which is a wheat protein that gives them a chewy texture similar to that of meat-based sausages. They're flavored with garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, black pepper, and sauerkraut, making them a tasty and healthy alternative to traditional brats. These vegan weiners are perfect to enjoy with your favorite German-style meal, or to serve at your next barbecue.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix together the gluten flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, and black pepper.
2.	In another bowl, mix the sauerkraut with the vegetable stock and then add it to the gluten flour mixture.
3.	Knead the mixture for at least 5 minutes until the dough is firm and elastic.
4.	Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and shape each part into a sausage.
5.	Wrap each sausage in aluminum foil and steam for 45 minutes.
6.	Remove the vegan weiners from the steamer and unwrap them from the foil.
7.	Heat up a skillet over medium-high heat and add some oil.
8.	Pan-fry the weiners for about 5 minutes, turning them frequently until they are browned on all sides. They're now ready to serve.
