Good burgers, though as the last reviewer suggested you will need to add your own sauce and spices for flavoring. These are a good starting point for your own creative ideas.

Great flavor, though had problems peeling the veg-burger off the grill (no home-made veggie burger I've ever seen works on a grill, including this one. They stick & begin to break up, spray notwithstanding). Took them inside to my cast iron pan, film of oil and medium heat, 5 minutes on each side ... and they held together pretty well. Flavor hint: avoid the blandness of zucchini - don't be afraid to add some kosher salt to the mix, plus 1 Tbs good worcestershire sauce (though strict vegetarians will want to leave this out due to anchovies in this sauce). Lastly, I used smoked mozzarella and some pine nuts. Again, great flavor, fairly easy to do, and the oats-veggie combo worked well. I only wish you better luck if you use a BBQ or gas grill.

Made these for dinner tonight and all four of my picky eaters ate them even my husband who hates veggie burgers. This is my first attempt at making veggie burgers and they were easy and had a wonderful flavor. I did add flour, only 1/2 cup, to the mix before refrigerating as one review suggested. They were a little mushy in the middle and a little sticky so next time I am going to try adding more oats. Healthy and delicious burgers, definately a keeper.

This is the first time I've ever tried a veggie burger, and while it came out delicious, I can't say it came out tasting like hamburger, nor did mine brown the way I'm seeing in the picture. Is there a special way to cook this so it's more like hamburger? I'm also wondering if I had too much veggie and not enough oats as they are kinda floppy. Over all though, the taste of what I did make was great.

Yummy! After looking at all the veggie burger recipes on this site I chose this one because of the ratings and all the veggies. I have to admit that they were hard to work with, but I sprinkled the flour on a cookie sheet pakced the mix in a 1/2 c. measure and plopped it on the sheet. I sprinkled that with flour and pressed it out with my hands. Worked fine. I did add some cilantro, my favorite.

These were really great. I like spicy so I used about 2 tsp. ground red pepper, 1 tsp. black pepper, 1 T. worcestershire sauce. I also froze the patties, separated by wax paper (I was unable to cook the day I prepared them). When I cooked them I did so in a skillet, if you do that do not dip in flour, the flour does not cook correctly. I did add 1/4 to 1/2 C flour to the recipe. Thanks for a great alternative recipe!

Not bad. I'm a vegan so I skipped the cheese and egg. They stayed together really well and smelled fabulous cooking. I found that the more I ate of my burger the flatter and flatter it got! It ended up creeping outside of my bun. My husband's a meat eater and said they were alright, but he wouldn't go out of his way for them.

Since being diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, I have been on a search for a good veggie burger recipe. This is absolutley the best I've found.I omit the Olive oil and use a non-stick fry pan to cook the vegetables. The burgers hold together niceley and work well on the grill. They have a pleasing color and a nice "crunch".

Love the texture, but they definitely need some spice or some type of seasoning. I added some cajun spice to mine. Also, I mixed in 1 cup of flour and used bread crumbs to bread them after shaping them. Washing my hands after forming 2 helped keep them from being too sticky. The recipe made 8 good sized patties for me. They froze really well, so I will be making a batch for the freezer to use up some veggies from the garden. Much better than the frozen ones you buy at the store.

We followed the recipe exactly. The burgers were cooked thoroughly but mushy in the middle and didn't have much flavor at all. Also they were quite a bit of work.

As-is these burgers are bland and difficult to work with. I don't know how they got 4+ stars from others. However, I added more oatmeal, wheat flour, garlic, and lots of spice (mesquite & caribbean jerk) and then they were quote good!

This is a really simple, good recipe for veggie burgers. I made only a couple small changes: I didn't have cheddar, so I subbed Monterrey jack and I used a rolled grain mix (oats, wheat, barley). Thanks for posting!

This burger was fantastic! My fridge was getting a little "bare" and after seeing this recipe, I decided to use up the last of the veggies that were in there...carrots, zucchini, well-minced broccoli, onion, garlic, etc. I sauteed everything, put in a big squirt of ranch dressing, some dashes of hot sauce, and adjusted salt and pepper. I semi-ground the oatmeal and added about 1/4 c of wheat germ and let it all "sit" for about 20 minutes. I found no need for egg or flour. The burgers are presently cooking on my cast-rom skillet with just a smidge of oil, and my toddler keeps coming over, asking for more "burger". This kid neve reats veggies, so this recipe is a GEM for our family. Thank you!!

I rate this recipe excellent. The second time I made them I accidentally added quite a bit of the flour into the mixture, it was very good and yes it does reduce the stickiness. My husband & I love this recipe. A little hot sauce makes it even better.

Great Texture! This was my first time making a veggie burger using oats. I was happy with the texture of these as they were not mushy like bean burgers which I also like. My finished burgers ended up lacking in flavor but it may be a result of my adjustments to get patties to form. So my review is mostly based on texture results. I had issues with the the mixture forming patties so I added another egg then added flour then I felt like it still needed something else and added more oats. For veggies I used a green bell pepper and the called for onions and carrots. I threw in some crushed walnuts and used a little feta cheese instead of cheddar. I'm going to have to tweak this to infuse some kind of flavor but I am thrilled about the texture. Even when I was ready to form patties with the mix out of the fridge they almost seemed like they might fall apart. I dredged them in flour on all sides and cooked them on the cast iron skillet and nothing fell apart. Because of the lack of flavor issue and depending on your modifications I would recommend that you test fry a single patty and then do a taste test. It doesn't take long to fry and you'll have the chance to adjust the seasoning if needed.

I found this recipe while looking for a veggie burger recipe that did not include soy as almost all of the frozen ones on the market have a soy base (my baby loves veggie burgers but too much soy isn't good). That being said, I needed to change this recipe a bit to make it more appropriate. No egg white for babies under 1 year old so I substituted 2 egg yolks. I used 1/2c oats and 1c cooked brown rice because I had it on hand. If you don't feel like shredding all of those fresh veggies, you should know it works great to use a small bag of organic frozen veggies (I used carrots, peas, green beans and corn) and just roughly chop them in the food processor. They turned out great!
