Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix rolled oats, chopped nuts, grated onion, beaten eggs, milk, salt, and sage until well combined.
- Form the mixture into patties, handling lightly to maintain shape.
- Brown the patties on both sides in a Pam-sprayed frying pan.
- Place browned patties in a casserole dish and pour brown gravy over them.
- Bake in a 350°F oven until bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika into the mixture. If you're out of eggs, mashed banana or applesauce can serve as a binder instead. You can also swap chopped nuts for seeds or legumes for a nut-free option. Ensure the oats are finely ground for better texture in your patties.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the rolled oats hamburgers with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with brown gravy or your favorite sauce. Consider serving them on whole grain buns with toppings like avocado, lettuce, and tomato. For a delightful dessert, finish your meal with Nita'S Original Dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, bake in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or pan-fry gently until heated through. You can also freeze uncooked patties and cook them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
