Ingredients
  • For Black Bean Burger Patties:
  • 6 cups cooked black beans
  • 3 flax eggs
  • 1 large white or yellow onion, finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs + ¼ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbs salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • For Rest of Sandwich:
  • Whole Wheat Buns (recipe will make 8 patties)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • condiments of choice (I went with just chipotle ketchup)
Instructions
  1. Working in increments, pulse black beans in a food processor. You do NOT want to pulverize them into a smooth paste, but make them where you do not have many whole black beans left. Some of the black beans will be creamy, others will just be sort of chopped in half.
  2. If your onions are not very finely chopped, you can add them into the food processor once your are done with the black beans as well.
  3. Combine, pulsed black beans, finely chopped onion, ⅓ cup breadcrumbs and all spices into a large bowl. Mix well until ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Form mixture into 8 patties. You can make the patties smaller and get more out of them, but I do not recommend making them any larger, as they will fall apart on the bun.
  5. Once patties are made, cover them with remaining ¼ cup breadcrumbs. I find best method is to pour breadcrumbs on a small plate, and press patties into the plate.
  6. Next, add a dab of oil onto a skillet (I used coconut oil) and heat on medium heat.
  7. Once oil is hot, add 1-2 patties. Allow to cook on one side for 5-7 minutes. Then flip to other side for another 5-7 minutes. Patties should have a slight crust to them and be fully heated through.
  8. Now, just assemble your burger. Starting from the bottom, I prefer bottom bun
