Vegan Garbanzo Oat Burger Recipe (Cindy White’s Big Mac)

This is a sponsored post by Oroweat® Bread. All opinions are mine alone.

In 2000, my  husband and I left Washington state and moved to California. My hubby attended a Bible college and began work in ministry. We were in California for 9 years before we moved back home to Washington, where he still works in ministry.

While we were in Rocklin, California we met a great couple, The Whites. They were vegan and when they  made us food — it was amazing. Cindy White shared a recipe with me for what she called “Big Macs”. I like to call it Garbanzo Oat Burgers. They are so tasty, easy, and affordable to make. What I love best? My entire family loves them.

Garbanzo Oat Burger Recipe

I’ve adapted this recipe to my family preferences but the flavor is pretty much identical to Cindy White’s recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 C Garbanzo Beans (1 can = 1 1/2 C)
• 1/2 C Water
• 1 C Rolled Oats
• 1/2 C finely chopped Walnuts
• 1/2 Onion, minced
• 1 T Chicken-style Seasoning
• 3/4 t Salt
• 1 T Soy Sauce
• 1/2 t Sage
• 2 T yeast flakes

This recipe makes four great sandwiches! (I do like to triple the recipe to make and freeze 12 burgers.)

Directions:

1. Blend garbanzo beans and water until smooth.
2. Combine all remaining ingredients and mix well.
3. Let stand for 1/2 hour.
4. Shape into patties.
5. Brown on both sides in a skillet or bake at 350° for 30 minutes (flip and continue to bake 15 minutes until firm and brown.)

Serve on great bread or even use my favorite the 100 Calorie Sandwich Thins from Oroweat.
