Instruction

  • Add all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until you get a crumbly mixture . Make sure it is still chunky and not a mushy paste. You can also do this with your hands if your veggies are chopped into small pieces and you don't mind a chunkier texture.
  • Allow mixture to set 5-10 minutes so the oats soak in some of the liquid (you can also do this after you shape into patties). This will help with the texture of the burgers, the more you allow the oats to soak, they less mushy texture you will get. I use this time to clean up.
  • Shape into 6 patties.
  • Cook in a pan on the stove top over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side (depending on stove). Make sure to keep the pan covered to help the burger cook throughout and achieve the best texture possible. This helps prevent a mushy burger. Check every few minutes to prevent burning, they should be slightly browned when ready.
  • Allow the burgers to cool a bit to further help set them into a non mushy consistency.
  • Serve on buns with any toppings you love!
