Instructions:
For Fermented Option:
1. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats or quinoa flakes, chia seeds, and water. Stir well to create a thick mixture. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, until thickened and gel-like.
2. Add the remaining ingredients for the burger mixture to the gelled oat mixture. Mix well to combine.
3. Divide the batter into six equal portions. Form each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Meanwhile, prepare your desired cooking method. You can grill, pan-fry, air fry, bake, or even dehydrate the veggie burgers. See below for our recommended cooking methods.
For Non-Fermented Option:
1. Preheat your preferred cooking method. We recommend grilling, pan-frying, or air frying. If using a grill, grease the grates lightly with coconut oil.
2. Combine all the ingredients for the burger mixture in a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
