Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some beans whole for texture.
Add the gluten-free oats, finely chopped red onion, red bell pepper, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, chopped cilantro, and lime juice to the mashed beans. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with olive oil to enhance browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the patties and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until firm and slightly crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the black bean burgers on gluten-free buns with your choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or dairy-free cheese.
