Healthy Oats Patties (For Burgers/Sandwiches)

We all love burgers and sandwiches. They make for a quick bite and a variation from the regular meal options. But, regular store-bought patties often are loaded with lots of starch and are high in calories. Also, most of them need to be deep-fried which is not a very healthy option too. So, why not try something healthy right in your kitchen??

These oats patties are truely divine. My husband says these are the damn best patties in the whole world and when he says it, he REALLY means it 🙂 These patties are healthy, made with oats and carrots, high in fibre and low-calorie too. Best thing? these are not even deep-fried, so try them out this weekend and let me know how you like them 🙂
