Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine quick cook oats, eggs, garlic powder, mushroom soup, and cooked millet in a bowl.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form the mixture into patties.
- Fry the patties in a skillet until golden brown on each side.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives. If you need a gluten-free option, ensure your oats are certified gluten-free. You can also substitute the mushroom soup with a homemade version or a different cream soup, such as chicken or celery, if preferred. Adjust the garlic powder to taste for a milder or stronger flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These patties make a great main dish when served with a side salad or steamed vegetables. Pair them with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for extra creaminess. They also taste fantastic alongside Ruby Alexander'S Fig Cake for a delightful contrast in flavors. Consider serving with a dipping sauce for an appetizer-style presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side until warmed through and crispy again. You can also use the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes if you prefer a less oily option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the patties for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the patties before or after cooking. If freezing raw, place them on a baking sheet to firm up, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cooked patties can be stored in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating for best results.
What can I use instead of eggs in this recipe?
You can replace eggs with flaxseed meal or chia seeds. Mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens. This will help bind the ingredients together just like eggs do.
How do I make the patties spicier?
To add spice, consider incorporating chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper into the mixture. You can also serve them with a spicy dipping sauce or hot sauce on the side. Adjust the amount according to your heat preference for a personalized kick.
