Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease a 9x13 inch or similar rectangular non-stick baking pan.
-
In a large pot, combine water, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, diced onion, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Reduce heat to low and stir in the rolled oats.
-
Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water is absorbed and the mixture thickens. Do not overcook; if it appears too soupy, add a small amount of extra oats and cook for 2 more minutes.
-
Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to a thickness of approximately 1/2 inch.
-
Bake for 25 minutes.
-
Remove from oven. Use a spatula to cut the large slab into 12 individual burger-sized squares.
-
Flip each burger over.
-
Return to oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes until firm and lightly golden.
