Description

A hearty and delicious homemade vegan burger that holds together perfectly and satisfies even meat-lovers. Made with wholesome ingredients and packed with flavor.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cooked black beans, mashed
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed and water. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed black beans, cooked quinoa, sautéed onion and garlic, oats, flaxseed mixture, soy sauce, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Mix until all ingredients are well combined. Use your hands if needed to mash everything together.
  5. Form the mixture into 4 patties, pressing firmly to ensure they hold together.
  6. Place patties in the fridge for 15–30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook each patty for 4–5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and heated through.
  8. Serve on a bun with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Chill the patties before cooking to help them hold their shape.
  • You can bake the patties at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Feel free to substitute black beans with chickpeas or lentils.
