In this recipe, author Steve Petusevsky has you make a rectangular patty from the oat mixture and then cut it into individual burgers. However, you can shape the burgers by stamping rounds with a glass. Nutritional yeast is available at natural food stores.
Place the water, soy sauce or tamari, onions, celery, herbs, walnuts, and yeast, if using, in a large saucepan.
Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 4 minutes and then add oats. Stirring constantly, simmer 5 minutes until the mixture is the consistency of really thick wet sand.
Scoop the mixture into an 11 × 7–inch baking pan. Pat the mixture until it is spread evenly.
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Place the uncovered pan in the center of the oven and bake about 30 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and cool slightly. Keep oven set to 375ºF.
With a spatula, cut oat mixture into rectangular burgers. Remove burgers to a baking pan with sides and bake another 10 minutes until crisp.
