Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 375F
  • After rinsing the beans, spread them out on a sheetpan lined with paper towels and let them dry thoroughly while you prepare the rest.
  • Place oatmeal in food processor and process until they are ground into a coarse flour consistency (you can have some pieces of oats left, it will add some chewiness to the patties). Remove to a large bowl.
  • Process walnuts in food processor into small pieces. Do not overwork them or they will turn into a paste. They need to provide a slight crunch to the patties. Add them to the bowl.
  • Place mushrooms in food processor and pulse a few times until they are finely chopped.
  • In a large skillet, sauté onion in a tablespoon olive oil. Add garlic and mushrooms and a pinch of salt and cook until the moisture is mostly gone. Add the spices and stir until fragrant.
  • Transfer to the bowl. Add nutritional yeast (optional).
  • Place the beans in the food processor and pulse about 12 times (until they come together but are still a bit chunky). Add to the bowl.
  • Mix thoroughly with a fork.
  • Line sheetpan with parchment paper, spray with olive oil. Form 8 patties (about 1/3 cup each) with your hands and place them on the sheet. Spray more olive oil on top.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes, flipping carefully after 20 minutes so they bake evenly.
  • Serve immediately or freeze for future use, stacked between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container or freezer bag.
  • Note: You can reheat them from frozen without thawing, on a medium-hot grill or in a pan 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds. If you freeze them before cooking, no need to thaw either, just add a few more minutes to the cooking time in the oven.
