Cook the oats in salted water until soft. In the meantime, drain the kidney beans and smash them in a bowl (use your hands or a hand blender). Dice the garlic and onion and sauté in water in a frying pan. Once the garlic and onions are lightly browned, add them to the bean mixture.
Add oatmeal to the bowl with the smashed beans. Use the hand blender to blend the bean mixture and pasta, along with the seasonings. Work the mixture until it has blended all the ingredients together, it should look like ground meat at this point.
Hand mix the breadcrumbs and begin to form into small meatball shapes. Add the formed balls to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 350 ° for 45 minutes (flip halfway).
