The Ultimate Vegan Oatmeal Burger (Makeover)
The Ultimate Vegan Oatmeal Burger (Makeover) is full of flavor, deliciously served with burger buns and garnishes or with your favorite gravy and mashed potatoes!
This recipe is definitely a winner. They can be made in larger quantities and they freeze well.
Black beans may be substituted with kidney beans. Pecans, almonds, and cashew may be used instead of walnuts.
This recipe can be modified to use the herbs that you like.
*I decided to redo the recipe to make it gluten-free as well. My readers kept asking me about substitutions and because it’s such a popular recipe I decided to go ahead and do a makeover.
This version is very delicious, my seven-year-old, who is very picky wanted another burger!

My son Daevyd helped me to make these burgers and, he enjoyed eating his burger so much. He kept telling me how good it tasted!





Using the canning jar lid, how many burgers does this recipe make? Based on the amount of ingredients I’m guessing for just two of us I should at least halve the recipe.
I made these last night and they were FABULOUS. I’m not a Vegan, but am trying healthier recipes. My 12 yo Meat loving son, liked it too and ate the whole thing! Having the extras for lunch at work today! Thanks for this!
