Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Black beans (cooked, drained, and rinsed)
- 0.75 cups Chickpeas (cooked, drained, and rinsed)
- 0.5 cups Oats (rolled, gluten-free if needed)
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed)
- 0.5 cups Red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 medium Carrot (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to create a flax 'egg' substitute.
In a food processor, pulse the oats until they resemble a coarse flour. Transfer the oat flour to a mixing bowl.
In the same food processor (no need to rinse), add the black beans, chickpeas, carrot, red onion, garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Pulse until the mixture is cohesive but still slightly chunky. Do not over-process; you want some texture.
Add the flax 'egg,' oat flour, and breadcrumbs to the bean mixture. Mix well until everything is fully combined and you can form the mixture into patties without it falling apart.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to firm up (optional but recommended).
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of olive oil.
Cook the burger patties for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside. Be gentle when flipping to avoid crumbling.
Serve the bean burgers on your preferred bread or bun (gluten-free if needed) and top with your favorite burger toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or dairy-free cheese.
Enjoy your Soy-Free Ultimate Bean Burger!
