Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray two baking sheets with nonstick spray.

- Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add celery, red pepper, onion, garlic, salsa, breadcrumbs, oatmeal, flour, Creole seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Mix to combine.
- Form mixture into medium-sized patties and place on baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- As the burgers cook, mix together all the corn salsa ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes
- For a richer flavor, sauté the onion, garlic, red pepper, and celery before adding them to the bean mixture.
- If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs or oats, one tablespoon at a time, until it holds its shape.
- These burgers freeze well! Cool completely, then wrap individually in plastic wrap before storing in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
