Notes
Recipe makes approximately 6 patties.
Add 15 minutes to prep time if quinoa needs to be cooked.
*Be sure to use gluten free oats if you are gluten intolerant.
**Spritzing with oil creates a crispier patty, but it is not needed to prevent sticking.
***I use my toaster oven with the convection setting on. If you are using a conventional oven, you may need to bake the patties a little longer.
Nutrition information is a rough estimate per patty.
