Prepare a binder for the veggie burger using 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 whole egg.

Grate 1 small zucchini and 1 small yellow squash and mix them with the binder.

Add soy sauce, cooked onion, and garlic to the mixture and refrigerate for about 1 hour until thickened.

Shape the mixture into patties, keeping them thick.

Dust the patties with flour to help hold them together while cooking.

Heat a griddle until hot and place the patties on it, letting them cook slowly.

Cook the patties until browned and cooked through, then turn them over.

Once cooked, place the veggie burger on a toasted whole wheat bun.

Garnish the burger with cheese, onion, and tomato as desired.
