Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 100 grams Quinoa (cooked)
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 medium Carrot (grated)
- 1 small Bell pepper (finely chopped)
- 100 grams Mushrooms (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 grams Rolled oats
- 4 pieces Whole grain burger buns (sugar-free)
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 1 large Avocado (sliced)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water to make a flax egg. Stir well and set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the mushrooms have released their moisture. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some beans whole for texture.
Add the cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, flax egg, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix well to combine.
Gradually add the rolled oats to the mixture, stirring until everything is well combined and slightly sticky. If the mixture is too wet, add more oats as needed.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
With clean hands, shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the patties with the remaining olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the burgers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are firm and golden brown.
Once the burgers are done, assemble them on sugar-free whole grain buns with lettuce, sliced tomato, and sliced avocado.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sugar-Free Garden Ultimate Plant-Based Burger!
