   (drained and rinsed), diced onion, coriander, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and salt. Mash with a potato masher or with a hand held blender.

5. Once mixed and mashed well, add oats and stir together.

6. Create balls (approx 1⁄2 cup of mixture each) and flatten out into

   circular patties.

7. Bake in oven for 15-20 min, flipping halfway through.

8. Optional – Before serving, pan fry quickly in oil until golden brown

   on both sides for additional crispiness.
