Oats Burger



Now that I have decided to incorporate more & more healthy food in my diet. Wanted to try out making veggie patties with oats. I had made this for brekfast last week & they turned out so good. The oats in the patty really binds up the ingredients well & adds in that extra flavour. I found this burger very tasty, healthy & filling. This is how I made it & note down the ingredinets

  1. Hi there!

    Did you use steel cut oats/rolled oats or the instant oats? I have heard that instant oats are not as healthy as the steel cut oats/rolled oats. Also did u make the buns at home? Its difficult to find unsweetened buns here in Singapore.

  2. I used the instant oats Quaker brand. Oh I was not aware that instant is unhealthy:( these buns were picked from some local bakery. Most local backery has unsweetened buns. U can sometimes find them in fairprice too.

  3. I wouldnt say instant oats are completely unhealthy but the more it is processed the more nutrients are lost..
