Drain and rinse the black beans. Place them in a medium-sized bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add the gluten-free oats to a food processor and pulse until a coarse flour forms.
Finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves. Add them to the mashed beans.
In the same bean mixture bowl, add the ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine the spices evenly.
Add the oat flour, fresh cilantro, and lime juice to the mixture. Stir to combine until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties by hand, ensuring they are compact and will hold their shape.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, until a crisp crust forms and they are heated through.
Serve immediately on a gluten-free bun or as a standalone dish with your favorite sides and toppings.
