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.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Flax Egg Perfection 🥚When making flax eggs, let the ground flaxseeds sit in almond milk for at least 10 minutes to develop a thick, egg-like binding consistency.
- Chickpea Texture Mastery 🥫Thoroughly mash chickpeas with a potato masher, leaving some chunks for a more interesting texture that mimics traditional meatloaf.
- Flavor Layering Technique 🌶️Toast the panko breadcrumbs lightly before mixing to add a nutty depth of flavor and improve the overall mouthfeel of the loaf.
- Glaze Application Pro Tip 🖌️Apply the ketchup glaze in multiple thin layers during the last 15 minutes of baking to create a caramelized, glossy exterior.
- Moisture Retention Hack 💧Cover the loaf with foil for the first half of baking to prevent drying out, then uncover to allow browning and crisp edges.
