Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Place the water into a bowl and add the oregano, basil, parsley flakes, onion, garlic granules (or powders), and mustard powder with the oats and TVP chunks, and mix well.

2. 2

   Add the ketchup and soy sauce to the mixture, and let rest for 5 minutes so the TVP can soak up the flavors.

3. 3

   Add the nut/seed butter and incorporate.

4. 4

   Add the whole-wheat pastry flour and nutritional yeast, and mix thoroughly.

5. 5

   Form about 4-6 flat patties by hand (or about 8-10 if you want slider size!).

6. 6

   Put a heavy-bottom skillet on medium heat and add a light coating of high-smoke point oil like grapeseed, canola, or olive oil and cook each patty for about 5-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
