Quorn Meatless Patties and Nuggets Review
How was everyone’s weekend despite the incredibly chilly weather and snow on Saturday?!
I feel like time has just been flying by in quarantine. As many of us have, I’ve been baking a lot more. 😋 However, I do still have days where we just don’t have leftovers and I don’t feel like spending a lot of time making anything. My quick go-to is the Quorn meatless patties, nuggets, and buffalo dippers.
The Quorn patties, nuggets, and dippers are best in the oven because they get nice and crispy! If you don’t want to wait for them to cook in the oven, they still taste good in the microwave. The patties are great with just a slice of cheese and some mayo. The nuggets (the buffalo dippers are just like nuggets) are great with ranch, BBQ sauce, or mustard.
If it hasn’t been clear yet, I do have a thing about textures! 😂 I tend to be a bit picky. With the Quorn patties and nuggets, I like the taste but it did take me a bit to get used to the texture. It has a thicker, tougher texture about it. However, I really enjoy them now! I also was really nervous to try the buffalo dippers because I thought they would be too spicy. I do not like spicy foods at all! There is a joke with some of my friends that say I fit that meme that said “White friend ‘this is so spicy.’ First of all, this is water.” 🤣🤣 I laugh about it, but I do like spices such as chili powder when making food like enchiladas. I just don’t like spices like cayenne. Thankfully, I really didn’t find these dippers to be spicy at all which I was so happy about! I also really like that the buffalo dippers have quinoa on the outside.

Also, I’m so excited they are not made with soy! They are made with Mycoprotein which is in the fungi family but is different than mushrooms. It’s actually a mold that is safe for us to eat. As with any food, be aware of the ingredients to make sure you’re not allergic to anything. It does have a statement on the box that says “There have been rare cases of allergic reactions to products that contain Mycoprotein.” I will also add that it contains eggs, milk, and wheat. Again, I do have a sensitivity to wheat gluten but don’t seem to have an issue with the Quorn products. I tend to only eat one patty at a time and four to five nuggets, so maybe if I ate more I would notice more of an issue. That’s just a guess though!
The Quorn patties and nuggets are such a great option especially since they have a decent amount of protein, dietary fiber, and are low in fats! 😉 I will point out that not all of the Quorn products are vegan, so just be careful for which products you are choosing if you are vegan. The meatless patties and original breaded nuggets I am talking about are vegetarian. The buffalo dippers are vegan, which the company very nicely put in a large green box on the front of the package! Despite not having dairy products in the buffalo dippers, they taste pretty similar to the other nuggets and patties.
I highly recommend the Quorn meatless patties, nuggets, and buffalo dippers! I have yet to try some of their other products but am definitely looking forward to it. These are just another great option and they are on the healthier side! Let me know if you try any of the Quorn products!
