Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 can canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 6 tablespoons water
- 0.5 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds with water to create a flaxseed egg. Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
Step 3
Add the rolled oats and vegetable broth to the chickpeas, mixing until well combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped baby spinach, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
Step 5
Add the thickened flaxseed mixture to the bowl and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 6
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties using your hands or a patty mold.
Step 7
Spread the whole wheat breadcrumbs onto a plate. Coat each patty evenly with breadcrumbs by pressing them lightly into the crumbs.
Step 8
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Once cooked, serve the patties warm. They pair well with a fresh salad or whole grain bun.
