– vegan – gluten free – oil free – low fat –
If you’ve had MorningStar Farms’ chipotle black bean crumbles, then you know how delicious and versatile they are. I found that I was using them for a lot of different dishes, but if you’re anything like me, you can understand why I try to limit my consumption of processed frozen food – they usually contain unnecessary ingredients and they are way more expensive. So I was on a mission to recreate these at home! And I must say, they turned out delicious! They require pretty minimal ingredients and they are vegan, gluten free, oil free and low fat. I highly recommend trying them if you’re looking for a new and creative protein source.
There are so many ways you can enjoy these copycat MorningStar chipotle black bean crumbles. Here are some of my favorite ways:
- tacos
- burritos
- quesadillas
- nachos
- pasta, especially my vegan taco pasta!
- fried rice
- tofu scramble
- so much more!

Cooking Essentials:
- A food processor (a blender will also work)
- A baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. I highly recommend a silicone mat to achieve the most crispiness, but a lightly greased baking sheet will also work.
- A cup or small mixing bowl
- A basting brush
Substitutions:
- Old-fashioned rolled oats: both gluten free and regular oats will work for this recipe. Instant/quick-cooking oats will also work, but I do not recommend using steel cut oats.
- Coconut aminos: can be substituted with low-sodium soy sauce or tamari.
- Garlic powder: you can substitute each teaspoon of garlic powder with 2 garlic cloves or 1 tbsp minced garlic.
- Smoked paprika: can be substituted with regular paprika.
