These protein-rich mushroom hemp patties with herbs not only taste great but also have the perfect patties texture! Give them a try!
I started experimenting with hemp food products, such as hemp oil, hemp seeds, hemp protein powder and even hemp flour! I realized that hemp is an incredible product and has so many great benefits. It’s very rich in proteins and good fats and helps with a lot of health issues.
Before I tell you about this wonderful, protein-rich mushroom patties recipe, you should know why hemp is so amazing! Here are some hemp health facts below.
The amazing health benefits of hemp
Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant. It is not the same as marijuana, as it does not contain the high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
- The essential fatty acids contained in hemp reduce blood cholesterol and thus prevent plaque buildup in the arteries.
- Hemp improves your memory and prevents diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
- Hemp oil is often used for cosmetic purposes in products such as soaps, skin lotions and lip balms. It clears up skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin.
- Hemp is a natural appetite suppressant and helps you to feel full longer. Add 4 tablespoons of hemp seeds to your breakfast and reduce your food cravings for the rest of the day.
- Hemp is rich in fibers and thus it keeps your digestive tract clean and healthy.
- Hemp reduces your risk of breast, colon, and prostate cancers because of the antioxidants and plant sterols it contains.
- Hemp seeds are also essential if you are diabetic, as they control your blood sugar levels.
- Hemp seeds are very rich in proteins and are great for vegetarians!
These are just a few of the great health benefits of hemp.
I decided to create a super-protein-rich meal with hemp and what better ingredient to go along with other than mushrooms! We all know mushrooms are very rich in proteins and they also have a meaty texture, so I created these protein-rich mushroom patties for vegetarians! They were not only healthy but really good too! You should try this mushroom patties recipe and see for yourself 🙂
P.S. The rosemary was used just for decor. 🙂 My fresh thyme looked horrible and it was too dry 🙁

- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tsps dry thyme
- 2 Tbsps ground flax seeds+ 3 Tbsps water (or one large egg)
- 4 Tbsps nutritional yeast
- 3-4 Tbsps hemp protein powder (Start by adding 3 Tbsps; If the composition is too moist and you cannot make the patties easily, add more until it has the right consistency. The hemp powder will absorb all excess water.)

- There are 2 ways you can cook the patties. A.Low fat or B. Baking.

Can I use cremini mushrooms instead of white or button mushrooms?
Sure! 🙂
OMG! I’m so glad I found this recipe! I’ve been making my own mushroom broth and am left with a bunch of leftover mushroom solids afterwords. I’ve worked them into recipes, but I love using them for these mushroom patties! I want to play with sausage seasonings to have a breakfast style patty! I might even be able to get my mushroom hating husband to try it!
So happy you like it! 😀
I love vegan patties but this one has to be my favorite. The herbs really make a difference! 🙂 Yum!
Glad you liked it! 😀
This recipe looks amazing! Just what I’ve been looking for…just one question…can I use hemp hearts – raw shelled hemp seeds – in place of the hemp seeds and hemp protein powder in your recipe?
Shelled hemp seeds may be too hard for this recipe, maybe if you turn them into a flour? Blend them then add them to the recipe. It should work.
Hi, this looks like a great recipe, however, can anything else be substituted for the nutritional yeast? Or can it be left out?
You can simply leave it out. 🙂 Let me know if you liked the recipe after you try it. 😀
how many patties per portion ?
thanks !
I calculated with 4 patties per person. 🙂
I’m excited to find this recipe.
I’m confused on the oil and the last statement that says 1 TB per patty. Is that how much mixture to measure out per patty? Where does the 4 TB of oil factor in?
Thanks:)
Hi, Holly! 1TB per patty means one tablespoon of the composition per patty. The 4Tbsps of oil are placed in the pan, for frying, not added to the composition.
Hi! Can I substitute an egg or flax meal with mashed potato maybe? Do you think this would work? And do I need to use nutritional yeast if I don’t have it? Do I need to substitute it with some other things?
I never tried this recipe with mashed potato but I did try other veggie patties and it worked just as well. I am not 100% sure it will work, but you can give it a try. 🙂 You can skip using nutritional yeast.
