Delicious Oat Patties

After you taste Phyllis's Oat Patties you are definitely going to ask for the recipe! The bad news is there really isn't one. But in this case that's actually the good news! These patties are easy to make and easy to personalize so that you can even call the recipe your own. You will only be limited my your own taste and creativity.

First, put the amount of quick oats you want in a bowl. This picture shows about three cups. Then add enough soy milk to barely cover the oats. While this sop soaks add any of the following: chopped onion, diced celery, chopped mushrooms, chopped nuts, minced garlic and whatever is your fancy. The patties featured here had diced onion ( about ¼ cup) and chopped pecans (about ½ cup). Season to taste with salt, season salt and any herbs you might like. Phyllis used some onion and herb seasoning and salt. Let the mixture continue to soak for about ten minutes.
After it has soaked for a while you should have a thick batter. Spoon out the size of patties you want onto a hot oiled griddle and let cook until browned on the bottom before turning them to cook the other side.
They should be a "yummy" brown color. Place them in a casserole dish (or if you want to eat them in a sandwich or as-is go right ahead).
When you have all the patties in the casserole then cover with your favorite gravy. Phyllis used a mushroom gravy. You could use a white cashew gravy or even a tomato gravy with equally delicious results.
Bake at 350 F degrees until the gravy bubbles and soaks in to the patties a bit. This will take less than a half hour.
And voila! Delicious!
