Scrumptious burgers are an American classic. However, these burgers are much cheaper and much healthier than store-bought vegeburgers. As a bonus, they freeze well, so you can pull a few out of the freezer when you need a quick meal.<\/h2>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
\n
3<\/span> cups<\/span> quick oats<\/span><\/div>\n
3<\/span> cups<\/span> water<\/span><\/div>\n
½<\/span> cup<\/span> walnut or pecan, ground <\/span><\/div>\n
¼<\/span> cup<\/span> Bragg Liquid Aminos<\/span>or low-sodium soy sauce<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> tbsp<\/span> McKay\u2019s Beef Style Instant Broth and Seasoning<\/span>or other beef-like seasoning<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> tsp<\/span> Italian seasoning<\/span><\/div>\n
½<\/span> tsp<\/span> salt<\/span><\/div>\n
½<\/span> tbsp<\/span> onion powder<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> tsp<\/span> garlic powder<\/span><\/div>\n
3<\/span> tbsp<\/span> nutritional yeast flakes<\/span><\/div>\n
¼<\/span> cup<\/span> dry onion flakes<\/span>or 1 finely diced onion<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F. Place all ingredients except the oats and nuts in a high- speed blender. Cover and turn the blender on for 2-3 seconds, just enough for the ingredients to run through the blades and get chopped finely but not pureed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Place the mixture in a saucepan and simmer everything together for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat and stir in the quick oats and nuts. Allow it to cool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Using an ice cream scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 6-8 balls, placing them on a nonstick baking sheet. Press down with the palm of your hand to make each patty 1\u20444-inch thick and place them in the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them after 15 minutes so that both sides are golden brown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Bake for 10 to 20 minutes at 375 degrees, then flip and bake for 10 \u2013 15 more minutes. (Time may vary according to thickness and your oven.)<\/p>\n

Efficiency Tip: Instead of grinding nuts and chopping the onion, place water and all ingredients (except oats and bulgur wheat) in a blender. Cover and turn on for 2 or 3 seconds, just long enough for all to go through the blades and get chopped fine, but not pureed. Then proceed as in Step 1.<\/p>\n

Variation #1: Try adding 1 tablespoon each of molasses and tomato puree for a richer flavor. <\/p>\n

Variation #2: Make a chili burger by replacing the sage with 1 teaspoon cumin and 1 tablespoon chili powder, or \u00bd package of mild taco seasoning. <\/p>\n

Note: Be sure to get plenty of flavor in your burger! Remember, it is usually eaten in a bun with burger fixings, and if the burger is bland, you will hardly know it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4608,"featured_media":20391,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[2704],"yst_prominent_words":[1619,1038,1727,696],"class_list":["post-20390","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-entrees"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/20390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4608"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20390"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_category?post=20390"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=20390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
