Instead of using old-fashioned oats can you use wheat bread crumbs?

They wouldn't hold together very well, and so it was hard to fry them. I have had much better veggie burgers made with black beans instead of kidney.

Very good! Added 1 extra tbls of ketchup, 1/2 tsp of cumin and 1/2 tsp of chili powder. Yum!

I thought these were quite tasty, they were very wet, and I found it difficult to get 6 patties from this mix (I made 5) so they were bun sized, but the stuck together, Also I would recommend freezing on parchment paper then wrap in plastic for storage, I wrapped in plastic then in a Ziploc baggy. The hold together quite nicely. Also I baked it in my NuWave Oven.

I had a hard time making these stay together, but they still tasted good. It might help to add an egg or even some salsa to keep the burger from falling apart. I was surprised at how filling just one burger was. I'll plan on making them again.

I made these for my daughter at a bar-b-que. I thought they held together very well. She said they were good and was glad to be able to take the rest of the frozen ones home for later. I added about 1/2 tsp. of Italian seasoning to give it more flavor. Nice, easy recipe. Thanks!

Loved it. The kids thought it was real hamburger and really liked them. A good way to get them to eat their vegetables. The consistancy was great. Make sure your beans are well drained. I threw it in the food processor with the mixing blade and let it run until it was well mixed. I pput them in the freezer even though they didnt need to be cause they held together so well...but I had alot of time before I needed to cook them.

I made these tonight and I felt like there was too much going on. They also didn't stay together very well so possibly an egg would help that situation. I probably won't be making them again.

I liked this recipe, but I was wondering if an egg should be added. All of the other veggie burger recipes I have found include an egg.
