Patty Ingredients
- 1 cup black beans, cooked
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup canned corn
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Burger Assembly
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
- Leafy greens for topping
- Tomato slices for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the cooking surface: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat to ensure the patties cook evenly and develop a nice crust.
- Mash the black beans: In a bowl, use a fork to mash the cooked black beans until mostly smooth, leaving some texture for the patties.
- Combine the ingredients: Add rolled oats, canned corn, chopped red onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed beans. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Form patties: Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties, pressing firmly so they hold together during cooking.
- Cook the patties: Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until heated through and nicely browned.
- Assemble the burgers: Place each patty on a whole wheat bun, top with leafy greens and tomato slices, then cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
Notes
- To ensure patties hold together better, you can add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with water as a binder.
- Feel free to customize toppings with avocado, pickles, or your favorite vegan sauces.
- For extra flavor, toast the buns lightly on the grill before assembling.
- These burgers can be cooked on a stovetop skillet, grill pan, or outdoor grill according to preference.
- Leftover patties keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated before serving.
