Eventhow I like meat and I do eat it I don't mind once in a while a vegetarian burger when I want to eat healthier. And honestly, the fact that there is not the meat flavor does not bother me. It is the same with vegan burgers. This one I enjoyed quite a bit and I do recommend it. It was really delicious. Marienke is the one who made it and shared the recipe with me. She became vegan in the last year and absolutely loves the idea of it, she doesn't believe in all of the negativity that comes with deciding to not eat dairy and animal products.

Put 1/2 cup of rolled oats into a blender or food processor and ground into a fine powder of flour by pulsing several times.
In a small pan, heat some oil and sauté the onions and the garlic for about 3 minutes. Together with the remaining ingredients, add them to the chickpeas and mix well. Form four large burger patties (or 6 smaller ones).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and put the burger patties on top. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 °F. Flip them after the first 15 minutes.
Cut the whole wheat buns in halves and cover both halves with the sunflower tomato spread. Alternatively you can of course also use ketchup, mustard, or any other burger sauce. Serve the mushrooms burgers with tomatoes, lettuce, and red onions.
