Kelly JensenThis Vegan In-N-Out Burger Recipe is a copycat of the classic California burgers, loaded with a plant-based patty and creamy & tangy special sauce. These delicious vegetarian fast food burgers are great to grill, fry on the stove top, or bake in the oven.
Load ’em with your favorite toppings like onions, pickles, tomato, lettuce, and smother on the sauce.
After making my delicious vegan copycat In-N-Out sauce the other week, I had to recreate the full vegan In-N-Out Burger experience with a delicious burger on the grill. Going to In-N-Out was such a treat when I lived in California, I loved getting a Double Double and animal style fries!
I tried to make this burger a double, but honestly I used Meatless Farm’s plant-based patties (which are HUGE!) and I couldn’t fit 2 patties on one bun, ha! So you get a single burger for now. You can definitely make this vegan burger a double by using smaller patties – but I would definitely recommend the Meatless Farm burgers anytime!
This Vegan In-N-Out Burger Recipe Is:
- Stacked (a giant burger!)
- Savory
- Hearty
- Satisfying
- Loaded with vegetables
- Smothered in a creamy tangy sauce
- A great In-N-Out Copycat vegan burger

How Do I Make In N Out Burgers Vegan?
- Grill the Patties – Follow the directions on your meatless burger patty and cook burgers to perfection – we grilled ours. I used Meatless Farm burgers which were SO good! Other brands should have cooking times/methods on the packaging.
- Prep the Sauce – Add all sauce ingredients to a blender, and blend for 1-2 minutes on high. Full recipe for the vegan In N Out sauce can be found here on my blog!
- Toast the Buns – add the buns to the grill for 1-2 minutes just before serving to give them a crisp and toasted texture.
- Assemble the Burger – to your toasted bun, add one patty (or two for a Double Double!), lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and load on the sauce. Enjoy!
