Mango Mushroom Buffalo Wings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened plant milk
  • 4 teaspoons ground flaxseed
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • Wheat-Free Breadcrumbs
  • Extra Crunchy Wheat-Free Breadcrumbs
  • 1 ½ pounds oyster, maitake, or lion’s mane mushrooms, broken into pieces
  • Spicy Mango Buffalo Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, place the plant milk, ground flaxseed, and oat flour and whisk to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes. Pour the breadcrumbs onto a plate.
  • Prepare a dipping station: Place the bowl of wet ingredients next to the plate of breadcrumbs. Lastly, place your parchment-lined baking sheet next to the breadcrumbs.
  • Dip the mushroom clusters in the wet mixture and then coat them with the breadcrumbs. Place them on the baking sheet.
  • Make sure the clusters don’t overlap.
  • 6 Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until dark golden. Remove the mushroom wings and flip each one over.
  • Return the wings to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the wings from the oven and brush generously with the buffalo sauce. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, if needed, brush with extra buffalo sauce, and serve.

Wheat Free Breadcrumbs

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground flaxseed
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic granules
  • ½ ground sweet or smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  • Whisk together the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the water slowly and mix to create a crumbly texture.
  • Transfer the mixture to a skillet on medium-low heat. Using a spatula, mix and break down the crumbs as they dry. The crumbs will begin to dry out and won’t stick due to the natural oils releasing.
  • Reduce the temperature to just above low and continue to dry out the mixture, using the spatula to stir the crumbs and taking care not to burn them. This drying-out process can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
  • Once your crumbs are completely dry, remove the pan from the heat and allow them to cool completely. Pulse in a processor to achieve the desired crumb.
