Burger Mixture

For Cooking

Method

Prepare the Burger Mixture

  1. 1

    Mash the Black Beans

    In a large mixing bowl, mash the canned black beans with a fork or a potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and egg (or flaxseed egg) to the mashed black beans. Stir until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.

Cook the Burgers

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Carefully add the patties to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a burger patty, a slice of tomato, avocado, and cheese (if using). Top with the other half of the bun.
