Oatmeal Croquettes

Full disclosure, this is the oat burger recipe (link below). I just decided to form them into a different shape and dip them in vegan cashew tarter sauce. Oh boy was it tasty! Same recipe, different look. Amazing flavor. Side note, as I ate these I thought to myself 'These would have tasted better fried.' I probably will never try them that way, but if you are serious about your croquettes and aren't worried about your health too much. A treat is a treat. Don't forget to also make some cashew tartar sauce (recipe below)!
Recipe adopted from: My Oat Burger recipe which uses the same recipe in Shepherd’s Pie
