These Healthy Avocado Breakfast Patties are a nutritious, satisfying, and easy-to-make meal. Packed with healthy fats from the avocado, protein from eggs, and fiber from oats, these patties are perfect for a quick breakfast, lunch, or snack. They’re full of flavor, and the addition of vegetables makes them even more wholesome.
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados, mashed
2 large eggs
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup grated zucchini (optional for added veggies)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for added flavor)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Avocado Mixture:
In a large bowl, mash the ripe avocados until smooth. If you prefer some texture, leave a few small chunks for extra bite.
2. Add the Eggs and Oats:
Add the eggs to the mashed avocado and mix well until fully combined. Stir in the rolled oats, grated zucchini (if using), chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. You should have a thick, cohesive mixture that can hold its shape.
3. Form the Patties:
Using your hands, divide the mixture into 6-8 portions and shape them into patties. If the mixture feels too sticky, you can lightly moisten your hands with water to help shape the patties.
4. Cook the Patties:
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to flip them gently to avoid breaking.
5. Serve:
Serve the avocado breakfast patties warm with your favorite toppings. You can enjoy them on their own, with a side of fresh fruit, or serve them on whole-grain toast with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a fried egg on top.
Tips:
Add More Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like grated carrots, spinach, or bell peppers to the mixture for extra flavor and nutrients.
Make Them Spicy: If you like a little heat, add some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.
Make-Ahead: These patties are great for meal prep. You can make them ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat them in the microwave or on the stove when ready to eat.
These Healthy Avocado Breakfast Patties are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. With healthy fats, protein, and fiber, they will keep you full and energized all morning long!
