Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz black beans (canned, drained, and rinsed)
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.25 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.25 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil, for cooking)
- 4 burger buns (whole wheat, optional)
- 4 lettuce leaves (optional)
- 4 slices sliced tomato (optional)
- 0.5 sliced avocado (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or a potato masher until they are mostly smooth but still have some texture.
Add the rolled oats, red onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed beans. Stir until evenly combined.
Mix in the olive oil, breadcrumbs, and beaten egg until the mixture comes together and can hold its shape. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs, one tablespoon at a time.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden-brown and heated through.
If desired, toast the burger buns in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun and topping with lettuce, tomato, avocado, or any of your favorite toppings.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy black bean burgers!
