I’ve eaten a lot of different types of vegetable-based loaves and I think that there are a few key points to making the best vegan lentil loaf.

It can’t be too soft and mushy, it should be firm but moist.
It has to hold together when you slice it and pick it up out of the pan.
The “meat” loaf has to be very flavorful.
It has to have a meat-like texture.
There has to be lots of extra tangy tomato glaze!

This vegan mushroom lentil meatloaf hits all of these notes! The mushrooms give it a meaty flavor and keep it very moist, the lentils, quinoa, oats, and flax egg give it the perfect texture, and the seasonings, garlic, onions, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and nutritional yeast give it loads of flavor!
