Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked lentils
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 medium, grated Carrot
- 1 medium, finely diced Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Brown rice flour or oat flour
- 4 Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 4 tablespoons (optional) Vegan ketchup or mustard
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 5 tablespoons of water to create a flax egg. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
Place the cooked lentils, rolled oats, grated carrot, onion, garlic, soy sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, and the prepared flax egg into a large mixing bowl.
Using a potato masher or the back of a fork, mash the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should stick together but still have some texture from the lentils and vegetables.
Dust in the flour gradually and mix until the mixture holds together firmly. If too sticky, add a small amount of extra flour.
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray if necessary.
Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Toast the whole wheat burger buns lightly, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by layering each bun with a cooked patty, lettuce leaf, tomato slices, and any optional vegan ketchup or mustard.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
