  2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté for about 4 minutes.
  3. Combine sautéed mixture with the mashed beans, oats, and soy sauce. Mix until integrated.
  4. Divide mixture into 4-5 equal portions and form patties. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. Cook patties by pan-frying in olive oil for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown, or bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Serve on toasted buns with toppings like lettuce, avocado, or chipotle mayo.
