Seedy Tofu Oat Burgers

I know, I know, they look like oatmeal cookies.

I haven't been posting much because we've been eating pretty much the same thing every day--quinoa and various amazing local fruits and veggies. But, I actually made something new today. I don't have a name for them other than what they are, so seedy tofu oat burger patties it is. This recipe (loosely based on the quality tofu burgers from VegWeb) makes 8-9 very filling patties. I baked four and saved the rest of the mixture for later, so I let you know how it holds up when I make the next batch. We ate ours with Miso Mayo and fresh tomatoes and onions from the farmer's market.
