Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium low heat. Add the onions, peppers, and garlic. Saute for about 5-10 minutes or until tender. Set aside.
Place oats and pumpkin seeds in a food processor. Blend until coarse (about 10-30 seconds).
Add everything else into the food processor, including the pepper and onion mixture but excluding the rice. Blend until almost smooth (it’s okay to be a bit chunky).
Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, scoop the mixture and place on your baking sheet. Once on the sheet, pat down each scoop so it is about 3/4 inches thick. Repeat for the rest of the burgers (you should end up with about 9 patties).
Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate the pan 180 degrees and rotate shelves (place the top one on the bottom one and vice versa – this ensures even cooking). Bake another 10-15 minutes or until firm.
