These burgers don't shrink in the oven -- instead, they seem to inflate! They get very big and juicy, probably because of the egg whites being absorbed by the added grains. They are amazing. You could easily break the mix up into a larger number of servings (6-8) and feel very satisfied by just one burger. (The added grains and flax seed also make them very filling.)
