89 cal Onion 'burgers'
Makes 2 Burgers (89 cals each)
75g Onion (30 cals)
30g Oats, ground in a spice grinder (113 cals) (I call this 'Oatflour', I don't know if it has a real name)
50g Applesauce (I'll post the recipe I used for this, I made it in advance) (24 cals)
1/4 tsp Olive Oil (for oiling the tray, could be left out if you have non-stick) (10 cals)
Preheat the oven to a medium heat
Slice the onion in the direction that means you cut off the sprout first and the roots last, into approx 1/2cm slices
(this makes it hurt your eyes less, also chilling it for an hour in the fridge first helps)
Then chop the slices so they're about 2cm long
Mix them into the applesauce
Add the ground oats and mix, then leave for 5 minutes
Lightly coat enough of a baking tray with olive oil for the burgers to be on
Spread the 'dough' onto the oiled area of the tray
Put it the oven until the burgers look cooked-ish, then turn them over for another 5 minutes
I forgot to time how long they took, but I think it was about 20 minutes
Enjoy :)
Applesauce (approx. 36 cals per 100g)
100g Cooking Apple(s) (35 cals)
Enough water to cover them in a small saucepan (0 cals! :P )
1 tsp lemon juice (1 cal) (or 1 crumbled Vit. C tablet does the same)
Boil the apples until they are completely mushed up, then sieve the mixture, squishing it through with a spoon
Then heat the sieved mixture so it boils until it's about the thickness of yoghurt
Let it cool then put it in an airtight container
It lasts about a fortnight in the fridge
I love applesauce because it replaces butter in recipes, same with oatflour because it's healthier than flour
I can make cakes that are on my safe list :) (no sugar, no butter, just oats, yeast, egg and applesauce)
