• 2 Flax egg (2 Tbsp ground flax - 6 Tbsp water)

1. Wash the eggplants then cut them half vertically. Take the eggplant halves to an oven-safe glass container and turn them upside down (peel is up).

4. Take a large dish and add pureed eggplant, oats, panko, nutritional yeast, flax egg, salt, and pepper and mix them thoroughly with a wooden spoon.

6. Take a tablespoon of the mixture and form the balls with your hands and place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
7. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
