2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp ground cumin

Directions:

  1. Place the chickpeas in a large bowl and use fork to smash them thoroughly into pieces. Add the sweet potato, oats, nutritional yeast, onion, parsley, eggs, cumin, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes in the fridge to firm. 
  2. Heat a frying pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of batter into the skillet and press down lightly with a spatula to flatten.  
  3. Cook cakes for 2 till 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip cakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
  4. Carefully wipe out the pan, add more oil, and continue frying the remaining batter.
