I really enjoyed this delicious burger. However, I didn't like the idea of the oat bran and I also added a few spices. Other then that they were delicious and I even helped myself to seconds!! Thanx a million!!

Nice burger, quite a different texture with the oat bran. Served it with sharp cheese and lettuce and tomato. thanks for sharing we will make them again.

Very nice burger....quite juicy. I added wheat germ as I didn't have any bran but that was the only change I made. Both my DH and I thought that the burgers could use more spices so I'll do that next time as I will definitely make these again! Thanks for a healthy alternative burger !
