    1. Cheap Lazy Vegan

      probably a few days in the fridge 🙂 i haven’t tried freezing them but I don’t see why you can’t! 🙂

  1. I’ve tried lots of vegan burger recipes but my family loves this one, and so easy! I’ve enjoyed many of your youtube videos. Thank you!

  2. Does it matter which soda you use…. I.e. if I’m making a strawberry cake do I use Pepsi? Where do you get vegan icing?

    1. Cheap Lazy Vegan

      I think you can use any soda! Not sure though. Maybe try with sprite? 🙂 and I just bought a random icing at the store which happened to be vegan friendly.

  3. Burger was great….clearly you can substitute anything into this recipe as long as there are beans + oat flour + tomatoes/pasta sauce… thank you

    I loved your pumpkin pasta. my mom
    Became a fan of it too. Thabks for making becoming a vegan so much easier for me.

  5. I made the banana oat cookies and my family did not care for them but I loved them! I totally plan to make them again to have a long side my breakfast or as a delish snack. The chocolate chips were a good call. I had one with a glass of red wine and it paired very well ?. I am making the kidney bean burgers tonight! Yum
