3. Directions:
3.1 Preheat
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
3.2 Prep
Place the garbanzo beans, panko, almond milk, flaxseeds, ketchup, tamari, Worcestershire, and spices in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 5-8 times, until ingredients are combined and beans reach the texture of rice.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula so it is even. Spread the ketchup over the top of the loaf.
3.3 Oven
Bake the loaf on middle rack of oven for 45 minutes.
Open the oven and spread more ketchup over the top of the loaf. Continue baking until the ketchup is darkened and matte, and the loaf is browned at the edges, 15-20 minutes.
3.4 Check
Check to see that chickpea loaf is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
3.5 Serve
Allow loaf to rest for 15-20 minutes before serving.
