I was looking for a veggie burger recipe I tried before and stumbled across this one. I just finished making them. Tastes just as good as the one I had last night from the fast food restaurant but much cheaper. I lovvvve it! I’m going to use it in place of my old meatloaf recipe with carrots, potatoes, and green beans. This is definitely a keeper.

HEY- these are amazing.
Thank you.

Only thing is, geek, I can’t eat fried food: I was up all night saying OWIE and holding my tummy.

Has anyone tried baking them?
I would just sautee, but I think they will fall apart!

thank you.

These are very good. Even my very picky (vegetarian) husband liked them. The look & feel of these are very similar to hamburgers. I halved the recipe because I wasn’t sure how quickly I’d use the rest of the mixture and I was unsure of how long the mixture would keep.

Like other readers, I was skeptical of the steaming step. My burgers did not fall apart at all, but at the end of this step, they were soggy and moist. Maybe that’s how hamburgers are (I don’t recall), but I refried them so they’d be crispy again. I used one can of vegetable stock for four burgers in a very large skillet, so the burgers were half covered with broth. I don’t know if that was right.

I used instant oatmeal, purchased in the bulk food section by mistake, and it worked just fine. My mixture was refrigerated for 4-5 hours which was also fine.

Thanks for the recipe! I’ll be making it in the future.

lisa: I’m not saying you can’t but I haven’t tried. I’m sure you could here but it may affect the texture of the burger a little bit. Give it a shot and let me know?

Jennifer,
Yes they have milk and eggs but I never said they were vegetarian/vegan burgers.

If you need them to go the vegan route, the milk can be replaced with water and the eggs could be replaced with silken tofu.

A previous commenter tried using flax/water to replace the eggs but had some issues with the burgers staying together.
