Add flax to water and stir to combine.
Then pulse the rice a few more times after adding the oats to the food processor.
Continue blending the remaining ingredients until they are just combined, including the 1 T canola oil and flax/water mixture.
Make ping pong ball-sized balls with dampened hands, then flatten them into 1/4" thick patties.
Place the remaining 1 T of canola oil in a nonstick frying pan and heat over medium heat.
The patties should be browned on both sides when the oil is hot.
Before serving, blot any excess oil off with a paper towel.
