Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup quinoa, cooked
- 0.5 cup oats
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces whole grain burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseeds and water. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken, forming a flax egg.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher, leaving a few chunks for texture.
Add the cooked quinoa, oats, finely chopped red onion, red bell pepper, parsley, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and the prepared flax egg to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until everything is well combined.
Divide the mixture evenly into 4 portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties to the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Meanwhile, toast the burger buns lightly in the oven or on a skillet, if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a burger patty and add slices of avocado.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
