Vegan Burger Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture: Drain and rinse the black beans, then mash them thoroughly in a large bowl until mostly smooth with a few chunks for texture. Add the rolled oats, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
  2. Form the patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a firm patty about 3/4 inch thick, ensuring they hold together well without being too dense.
  3. Pan-fry the patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a crispy, golden-brown crust and are heated through.
  4. Serve: Remove from the pan and serve on buns with your favorite burger toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and vegan mayo for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For extra binding, you can add 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water (let sit 5 minutes) when mashing.
  • Customize spices and add chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for variation.
  • These patties can also be baked at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, for a healthier option.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
