- Mash 3 avocados, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1/2 tsp pepper, 2 tsp lemon juice and 1/2 tsp salt together in medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Turn mixer to speed 4 and grind 3/4 of the vegetable-lentil mixture. Remove food grinder and attach flat beater and mixer bowl to mixer. Add remaining lentil mixture from skillet, mustard, 1/3 cup cornmeal and oat flour, turn to Stir speed and mix just until blended, about 15 to 20 seconds. 
- Sprinkle half of the remaining cornmeal on parchment lined baking sheet. Shape lentil mixture into six (1/2-inch thick) patties. Place patties on baking sheet and dust with remaining cornmeal. Refrigerate 30 minutes. 
- Heat remaining olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add patties and cook until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Serve immediately on buns or in lettuce cups with avocado mash.
