Servings: 
6-8
Preparation Time: 
10 minutes
Ingredients: 
4 zucchini squash of any color cut into 1-inch cubes
canola or coconut oil to coat
½ cup quick oats
½ cup daiya shreds (I used mozzarella flavor)
¼ cup fresh chopped basil
2 tbsp. raw macadamia nut butter
1 tbsp. dijon mustard
1 tbsp. minced garlic
Gluten-free, dairy-free burger buns
Instructions: 

Preheat grill or skillet (I used the BBQ)
Toss just enough canola or coconut oil with squash to coat and grill until crisp-tender.
Remove from the grill and allow to cool about 10 minutes
Add remaining ingredients and mix well with a spoon or a fork, mashing the squash as you go along, or use your hands
Put mixture in the fridge for 10-20 minutes then form into patties using your hands
Lightly oil a skillet and carefully fry patties until browned on each side (5-10 minutes a side)
Toast some gluten-free buns or use collard greens, cabbage or other sturdy lettuce as a bun, add your favorite burger toppings and enjoy
