Ingredients

3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 package (8 ounces) cremini mushrooms, roughly chopped
1/2 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
7 ounces extra-firm lite tofu, crumbled and frozen
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
6 light multigrain English muffins, split and toasted
Lettuce, tomato, and red onion slices (optional)
Cucumber spears (optional)

Directions

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic; cook and stir 10 minutes or until mushrooms have released most of their juices. Remove from heat; cool slightly.

Combine mushroom mixture, tofu, oats, walnuts, egg, salt, onion powder, and thyme in food processor or blender; process until combined. (Some tofu pieces may remain). Shape mixture into 6 (1/3-cup) patties.

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in same skillet over medium-low heat. Working in batches, cook patties 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and patties.

Serve burgers on English muffins with lettuce, tomato, and onion, if desired. Garnish with cucumber spears.
