I have had a lot of people ask about these oat sausages when I post photos of them. They are my FAVE! The initial recipe was created by my friend Desiree at The Plant Eaters. I have made a few of what I call "lazy mods" to reduces steps. I also altered the ingredients/spices a bit to meet my family's needs. You can also check out their video at: https://youtu.be/3v1cA03qGyg.IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need 1/2 cup of cooked white or brown rice for this recipe. Whenever I make rice and have leftovers, I freeze a baggie or two for this purpose. Also, I like to make up three baggies of the dry spices at one time (since there are so many of them in this recipe) so I don't have to take out that many spices every time I make this recipe. It makes the process SO much quicker!

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Line cooking trays with parchment paper
Combine all ingredients, except oats and rice, in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat.
Remove from heat; add oats (and rice) and stir well. Allow mixture to sit 5 minutes. Taste the batter and add salt to taste.
Scoop mixture into 2-inch round balls; place on prepared (parchment paper-lined) baking sheet and flatten gently with the back of a wet spoon or silicone spatula. Bake 25-30 minutes; flip patties and bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Make sure the centers of the patties are firm and not mushy.
Notes
These sausage patties can be fridged for a week and frozen for longer in an air-tight container. I have even made the "batter" and fridged it, making 5 patties a day fresh. It's up to you!
