High-protein oat, almond and spinach patties

10 Oct 2016

I love the vibrant green colour of these. They are gluten-free, healthy, high in protein and very easy to make. Perfect for a snack or as a side when you're having a soup.

Oats aren't only for breakfast and it's great how versatile they can be in sweet and savoury dishes. I came up with the idea for these when I desperately fancied a light but filling snack without having to spend ages in the kitchen. They are a very easy way of getting your greens in and I will definitely make them again soon! Create smaller versions and serve as canapés at a party - a guaranteed conversation starter!

Serve either with coconut or soy yoghurt or chilled cashew sour cream (recipe here).

INGREDIENTS (4 patties):

1/2 cup oats

1/2 cup ground almonds
1/2 onion
100g spinach
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp olive oil
3/4 tsp salt
1/8 cup of water
Dash of pepper
1/2 cup of gram flour (chickpea flour)

METHOD:

Preheat you oven to 200C (475F).

This recipe works best with a food processor but a smoothie blender will do as well.

Add all ingredients apart from the gram flour into a food processor and blend until you get a smooth mixture (if you don't have a food processor, chop onions and garlic finely, then use a smoothie blender and process the oats on their own so you get a fine mix. Then blend all wet ingredients separately). Pour the mixture into a bowl and mix together with the gram flour.

Make patties by spooning onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Bake in the oven for about 15minutes.

Serve with either coconut or soy yoghurt or chilled cashew sour cream.
