    Hi, 3080Hamden. Depending on your taste, you can use either of the following:
    1. 1/4 cup gluten powder or gluten-based egg substitute such as Bob’s Red Mill +1/4 cup vegetable broth (gluten may impart a bready taste to the burgers)
    2. 1/4 cup flax seed gel, which you can make by grinding 1/4 cup flax seeds with 1/2-1 cup warm water, then filtering out the gel with a mesh colander.
    Or a combination of the two.
