Chipotle Oat Burgers

4 cups water

¼ cup Braggs Amino Acids or coconut amino’s 
⅓ cup nutritional flakes
2 Tbsp cup of olive oil (optional, helps in browning) 
1 tsp chipotle powder
1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
1 tsp savory
1 tsp cumin
1 ½ tsp ground sage
1  Tbsp onion powder
1 ½ tsp garlic powder
1 ½ tsp sweet basil
1 ½ tsp dried parsley
¾ cup finely chopped walnuts
¼ cup sunflower seeds
4 cups quick oats

Directions:

1. Blend water with walnuts and sunflower seeds until broken down but not totally smooth. 
2. Add all other ingredients except oats to a large pan and bring to a boil. 
3. Once boiling, take off the heat and stir in quick oats. Stir well and cover and let sit until it has cooled off.
4. When it has cooled enough to handle, then shape into patties. You can use a burger press, a mason jar lid, or anything you’d like!  This gives it a nice uniform shape and conventional look of a burger. 
5. Preheat your oven to 350 and place burgers on parchment paper, silicon mats, or on a mildly oiled baking sheet and bake 30 minutes. 
6. Enjoy!!
