Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw walnuts
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Cooked quinoa
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 1 as desired Lettuce, tomato, onion, or other toppings
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the walnuts and almonds on a baking sheet and lightly toast them for 8-10 minutes, then let them cool.
While the nuts are cooling, mix the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg.
In a food processor, pulse the toasted walnuts and almonds until they reach a fine crumb consistency, but do not over-process into a paste.
Transfer the processed nuts to a large mixing bowl. Add the rolled oats, cooked quinoa, minced garlic, diced onion, flax egg, soy sauce or tamari, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Using clean hands, shape the nut mixture into 4 even patties, each about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and heated through.
Optional: Toast the burger buns in the skillet or oven for a few minutes for added texture.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun and adding your desired toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, or condiments.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade nut burgers!
