1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

¼ cup gluten-free oat flour

2 tbsp avocado oil (for frying)

Directions

1In a blender, combine raw cashews and water. Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to medium until a smooth paste forms. Set aside.

2Place all remaining ingredients, except avocado oil and avocado, in a medium mixing bowl with the cashew mixture on top. Mix thoroughly with your hands.

3Shape the mixture into 8 small patties, ensuring they are compact to hold their shape.
