In a small bowl, combine chia seeds and water. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, or until the chia seeds have soaked up all the water. This is your chia "egg".

Step 4

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.

Step 5

Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, divide the mixture into 4 even patties, then use your hands to shape them into burger patties.

Step 6

Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Flip, then bake an additional 10 minutes.
