Ingredients
Scale
For the Burger Patties
- 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 ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Assembling
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
- Leafy greens for topping
- Tomato slices for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Grill or Skillet: Begin by heating your grill or skillet over medium heat to ensure it’s ready for cooking the patties evenly.
- Mash Black Beans: In a medium bowl, use a fork to mash the cooked black beans until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, canned corn, chopped red onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed beans. Stir everything together thoroughly to create the burger mixture.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into four evenly sized patties, compacting them gently to hold together while cooking.
- Cook Patties: Place the patties onto the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until they are firm, cooked through, and have a slight char or golden-brown crust.
- Assemble Burgers: Place each cooked patty on a whole wheat bun, then top with leafy greens and tomato slices as desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your wholesome vegan burger!
Notes
- For best results, use canned black beans that are well drained and rinsed.
- You can add a splash of olive oil or non-dairy milk if the mixture feels too dry when forming patties.
- Feel free to customize toppings with avocado, vegan cheese, or your favorite condiments.
- This recipe is ideal for a quick lunch or dinner and can be made ahead and refrigerated for a day.
- Whole wheat buns add extra fiber and nutrients compared to white buns.
