I created these as a means to finish a vegan version of our “Detailed Paleo Week” budget-savvy weekly menu.
Turns out they’re yummy keepers for an A-grade steal!
I highly recommend pairing them with the (meatless) Nomato sauce from “Spaghetti and Meatballs” by Mickey Trescott.
Alternatively, serve them in a GameDay crock-pot appetizer or double them up and mash them into paleo vegan slider patties!

Print Recipe
Equipment
- food processor or trusty blender, skillet, measuring cups and spoons, oven, baking sheet, non-stick baking mat or parchment paper
Ingredients
- ½ cup Walnuts shelled
- 3 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 4.5 tbsp Avocado Oil
- 3 tbsp Organic Hemp Protein Powder unsweetened
- ¼ cup Onion chopped
- 3 tbsp Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar
- 3 tbsp Coconut Aminos (we like Bragg's)
- ¾ tsp Crushed Rosemary
- ¾ tsp Oregano dried
- 2 tbsp Almond Flour
- 3 tbsp Organic Flaxseed, Ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to regular bake 350°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat (my favorite).
- Add all of your ingredients to the food processor and blend until you have a fairly even consistency. If you prefer a bit of texture, then add your nuts first, blend for a few seconds, then add the rest of your ingredients (to avoid major nut chunks).
- Create 1" balls with clean hands or an ice-cream scoop, and place on the tray to bake. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until crispy and they begin to brown.
