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!
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup Bragg’s liquid aminos soy sauce, or [lasso id=”76698″ link_id=”35733″ ref=”amzn-betterbody-foods-organic-coconut-aminos-soy-sauce-alternative-gluten-free-soy-free-non-gmo-kosher-16-9-ounces-pack-of-1″],
- 1 tablespoon onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 4 cups quick cooking oats
- 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup cooked black bean
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
Directions
Preheat oven 400 degrees. Bring water to boil in a saucepan.
Add Bragg’s liquid aminos, onion , garlic, yeast flakes, Italian seasoning and cayenne pepper.
Stir in oats, cooked rice, walnuts, black beans, and flax seeds.
Reduce heat and keep on stirring until liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool enough to handle.
Using a large canning jar lid including the rim, form patties placing them on a lightly oiled cookie sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes, turning halfway. You may also cook in a lightly oiled skillet on both sides. Top with your favorite toppings!
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!
How many burgers did you get out of this recipe? Definitely going to try it. I wonder how it would hold up on a grill?
Thank you
Christine, it makes at least 12 burger patties. It really depends on the size of your patties. I never tried it on the grill but I would suggest that you refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes before grilling. They freeze well too.
These look fabulous!
I’ve been scouring the Internet for the perfect vegan oat walnut burger, and this looks like it. Thank you. :-)
I’m planning on making a gluten-free version for lunch today, substituting flax meal for bulghar wheat (and using gluten-free oats).
This is definitely a winner recipe. Flax meal is a great substitute. Please enjoy!
They turned out perfect. :D
Thanks again.
Is the yeast for pleasant texture only, or does it serve other function?
I am glad that I found this website. This recipe looks good and I am anxious to try it soon.
This looks very good and I am going to try this. Approximately how many servings can you get from this batch?
Beki you can go ahead and omit the cracked wheat or bulghar and your recipe will be just fine or you can add equal amounts of cooked rice.
Wow Anne, I’m just seeing your comment. Well I haven’t done this recipe lately since I have been working on my gluten free cookbook. I’ll let you know when I do.
Your welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed and thank you for your feedback.
What can I use in place of cracked wheat or bulghar?
