What type of bun did you use? Looking for a decent gf bun. ☺️
It was a vegan pretzel bun from Pretzilla. Not the greatest but it was the only vegan bun we could find when we made this.
Hey Jill – was wondering what I could do instead of the molasses as I’m a True North eater…date syrup? But that would miss something….maybe that and a balsamic something??? Any ideas? Thanks so much!
The date syrup would be the closest in flavor for sure.
I’ll try it. Thank you!!!
This is delicious! I have been wanting to incorporate more mushrooms into my routine and this is a winner of a way to do so! My store didn’t have the King mushrooms so I took a chance and subbed large portabellas. I scraped out the gills and sliced thinly to match the onions. Worked perfectly. I’m glad I didn’t let not finding King mushrooms deter me! Thank you for a delicious and easy sandwich, Jill!
It took me a while to get the rhythm of shredding the king oyster mushrooms. Don’t be deterred! Use a heavy fork and scrape them length wise and whatever doesn’t fall apart just pull them apart! Fourth time making them now – I love the healthy BBQ sauce!
