Chickpea and Oat Burgers

Whenever I post on social media asking what recipes you'd like to see next, inevitably there's a couple of requests for burger recipes. It's perhaps unsurprising given that many veggie burgers, especially bean based ones, can have a claggy texture so for this recipe, it was imperative that these had none of those texture issues. These patties aren't intended to be eaten on their own. The combination of chickpea and oat means they're wonderful flavour carriers so load them up with your choice of lettuce, tomato, relish, avocado, mushrooms, pickled onions and enjoy!
