FAQ

Are these burgers vegan?
They can be vegan if you use a plant-based binder and skip eggs or dairy.
Are they gluten-free?
Oats can contain gluten; to make gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats and ensure all ingredients are gluten-free.
How do I bind the patties so they don’t fall apart?
Use a binder like ground oats and a little flax egg or mashed beans; chill the mixture and don’t overmix.
How should I cook them and what’s the best method?
Pan-fry in a little oil until crisp on both sides, or bake at 190°C (375°F) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
How long do they keep in the fridge or freezer?
Fridge: 3–4 days in an airtight container. Freeze: uncooked or cooked for up to 1–2 months.
How can I customize the flavor or add extra protein?
Add spices, onions, garlic, and herbs; for more protein, mix in extra beans or seeds like flax, chia, or hemp.
What should I serve them with for a balanced meal?
Serve with vegetables or fermented foods; add a whole-grain bun or lettuce wrap for a fuller meal.
Are there any common allergens to watch out for?
Main ingredients are beans and oats; check for dairy, eggs, sesame, nuts, or soy in toppings or mix-ins.
Can I prepare them in advance or freeze the uncooked or cooked patties?
Yes. Refrigerate the mixture up to 1 day; freeze formed patties (raw or cooked) for later use.
