Diet Types:

Preheat oven to 350˚ F. Chop the onion and pecans.
In a skillet over medium heat sauté the onion, nuts and seasoning blend in olive oil. Add remaining ingredients, mixing well.
Divide the mixture into 12 muffin cups (approximately 1/3 cup each) and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Rest for 5 minutes; remove from muffin tin to cool.
Eat warm or chilled.

Place entire recipe into a greased casserole dish and bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Serve plain or with low-sodium gravy as a meatless meatloaf.
Add green or red pepper, jalapenos or other vegetables of choice, if desired.
Try as a high protein dessert muffin with cinnamon and sugar or maple syrup and even chopped apples instead of onion and seasoning mix.
Substitute the Greek yogurt for cottage cheese or tofu. Cottage cheese is higher in sodium. Check the label for the brand lowest in sodium.
Bake, covered with foil if you prefer a softer texture, or bake longer until rich golden or dark crust if you like a little crunch.
