- Cilantro3 sprig
- Ground cumin1 teaspoon
- Salt1 1/4 teaspoon

- Paprika1/2 teaspoon
- Rolled oats1/4 cup

Directions
- 1Place all ingredients for the burger patties in a food processor and pulse 3 to 5 times, just until the mixture is smooth enough to hold together. Do not process too long or the burgers will end up pasty.
- 2Divide the mixture into 4 equal balls and roll them even in between your palms. Lightly flatten each into a patty shape and place on a plate. Chill the formed patties for 15 minutes in the freezer.
- 3Spray cooking spray to a large frying pan and heat over medium-high. Add the patties and cook on each side for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown. Finish cooking burgers in a 425º F oven for 10-15 more minutes. This helps them get crispy.
- 4Serve patties on a whole grain bun with toppings and condiments like lettuce, tomato, and onion (Optional).
- 5Meal Prep Note: The patties can be frozen before cooking for use later!
