Ingredients

  • 2 cups canned or cooked black beans
  • 1 and ½ cups oats I used quick oats, gluten-free if needed
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoon ground flax seeds
  • 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoon cumin powder

Instructions

  • Feel free to use canned beans or cook them from scratch. If you're going to cook them, use 1 cup of dried black beans (190 g). Drain and wash your canned beans. If you're using cooked beans, you just need to drain them.
  • Add canned or cooked beans to a large mixing bowl and mash them. I prefer to use an immersion blender, but a fork or a potato masher is also okay.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients and mash again until well combined. Add more oats if needed.
  • Make 4 or 5 patties with your hands.
  • I usually cook them on a griddle for about 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown with no oil, but feel free to cook them with some oil if you want to. Grill them or cook them in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown.
  • Enjoy your black bean burgers by themselves or serve them with some bread and toppings like tomato slices and lettuce. I sometimes like to add some tempeh bacon, vegan bacon, or vegan mayo.
  • Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days or freeze them before cooking for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Feel free to use any other type of beans or legumes.
  • You could also use breadcrumbs instead of oats or even other types of flour, but in that case, you may need to add more or less of it.
  • If you don’t consume soy, use coconut aminos instead of the tamari or soy sauce, or add some salt and water.
  • Feel free to add your favorite dried or fresh herbs, spices, or condiments like poultry seasoning or Italian seasoning. Liquid smoke could be a good choice.
