Black Eyed Peas Oaty Burgers

Do you ever freeze veggie burgers???  I usually freeze 6-7 burgers every time I make them because my husband doesn't like a lot of the veggie burgers I make (he doesn't like beans!!)  When I had one of these burgers the first night I made them, I thought these burgers were my favorite burger so far.  When I made a Refried Beans and Quinoa Burger ,  I really wasn't sure about them.  BUT....after eating each of them again after being frozen, I now like the Refried Bean/Quinoa burger better than these.  It is interesting how freezing the veggie burgers changes their flavor - at least I think it does.

Ingredients:

1 can black eyed peas, drained and rinsed
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp minced jar garlic
1/2 Tbsp  Bragg Liquid Aminos
1/2 tsp assorted chili peppers spice (I used   Nanami Togarashi   ) or use 1/4 tsp tabasco sauce and 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 can corn, drained
1/4 tsp cumin
1 Tbsp dried cilantro
3/4 cup Quaker old fashioned oats
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast Flakes 
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup Wheat Gluten (or use more oats)
2 heaping Tbsp peanut butter

Directions:

In a bowl, mash the black eyed peas to desired texture.  I really did not do much mashing !!!  I kept them pretty much whole.  Mix in all the rest of the ingredients.

Form into patties and cook.  I cook them on my   Cuisinart 5-in-1 Griddler for about 20 minutes.  If you want to bake them in the oven, bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes.
