Nutrition Facts
Ingredients
Instructions
Combine oats and chickpeas in a food processor and pulse a few times to roughly chop the chickpeas and oats. Mixture should look slightly chopped but not be paste-like or wet/mushy.
Set aside and grab those veggies!
Remove the stem from the jalapeño. For spicier burgers, leave the veins and seeds intact. For less heat, remove them entirely.
If you haven't already, dice/mince your bell pepper, onion, and carrot, and green onion.
Sauté onion, peppers, and carrot in your favorite healthy oil until tender.
Season with Frank's Red Hot sauce (or buffalo sauce equivalent) then add garlic powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, and salt.
Add the freshly sauteed veggies to your chickpea mixture, then add your egg or flax egg.
Stir to fully incorporate and roll mixture into four balls.

Freezer Instructions:
Simply cook the burgers via instructions above, allow to cool a bit, and then freeze (spaced) on a plate or cookie sheet. Once they've had a chance to partially freeze you can wrap them individually and pile them in baggies or your favorite airtight container for fast food without the freaky ingredients. To re-heat, simply pop on a baking sheet in the oven for about 18-20 minutes at 400 F. Enjoy!
No food processor? No problem!
Use a chef’s knife to give your chickpeas a rough chop or use a fork to partially fork-mash the chickpeas. You don’t want them mashed into a paste-like texture because you’ll lose all the awesome texture, but break them up enough that they’re not all whole. As for the oats, you can roughly chop your oats with a knife or use your rolled oats as is. They should still hold together enough to be flipped and taste delicious!

OMG love these burgers. These are the Best chickpea bugers. Maybe best veg burger, full stop. Spices spot on.
Thank you thank you thank you.
I must have done something wrong bc my girls and I thought these tasted a bit like paste. I’m on a low sodium diet so I didn’t add much Franks, but the consistency of these wasn’t the best. I doubled the recipe but 3 cups of oats was too much.
Our son decided he’s going vegetarian and I’ve been searching for a burger for him. Oh my! These are delicious. Easy too. I did make 6 instead of 4. Can’t wait to make them again.
Excellent recipe! I coated mine in panko which gave a nice crunch to the burger. Almost felt like a chicken burger! Definitely a keeper.
They were the best!!!! Yet another wonderful recipe from you Jen and it has been added to the list of the so many of yours that I have started cooking (and loving) since I retired and finally have the time to make. My husband and I are former vegetarians who added some meat back in over the past 35 years but are heading back to a largely plant based diet and a large reason that it has become so easy is your wonderful recipes!!!!
Love this recipe! I typically make huge batches of these burgers and freeze them and eat them whenever! I don’t typically make the slaw but the avocado smash is a must! My husband likes an over easy egg on his! Thanks for the recipe!
Delicious! I often have the problem that my veggie burgers full apart but this recipe has the perfect consistency (and a great taste!). It seemed like a lot of chilli so I used slightly less chilli sauce, but once cooked and combined it wasn't too much. Would really recommend. Thank you.
So yummy! I love the way they get crispy and browned on the outside. I made a triple batch so I could freeze some! Thank you for sharing!
If you have been looking for a great veggie burger recipe, look no further! These are BY FAR my favorite. They are CRAVE worthy and don't bother doing just one batch, I always make a double. They are easy, fulfilling and oh so good. They freeze extremely well, hence the double batch and are always ready for a quick lunch or dinner.
Seriously!!! You need to try these.
One of our favorites! Thanks for sharing
I have been trying to find a great vegetarian option for my teenage daughter I gave this a try she loved it! It is going to be on her special dinner treat list!
This is my absolute fav veggie burger recipe. I've made it so many times, I almost have it memorized. Today, I decided to make a large batch and smoke them in our Egg. Soooo delicious!! I don't like traditional breakfast foods and will make these ahead and freeze so I can have them in the morning. Perfect morning veggie burger:)
These are one of my favorite vegan burgers to make. They are always a hit!
These were excellent! My sister and I made them for lunch one day and I ended up taking the other 2 patties to her house the next day for lunch :)
These were AWESOME! I fed them to my fiancé, his friend, and our elderly neighbor tonight and everyone loved them! I paired them with provolone cheese, lettuce, mashed avocado with table blend Mrs dash & garlic, and Kaiser rolls from the bakery. And sweet potato fries! I’m so shocked that the veggie patty was so good!
If you’re making it without a food processor, I’d mash the chickpeas with a whisk or potato masher. I blended the oats in the nutribullet with the milling blade and the mixture ended up being the perfect texture.
