Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseeds
- 3 tbsp water
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 0.5 cup vegan mayo
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds and water to make a flax egg. Stir well and set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes.
In a food processor, add the chickpeas, rolled oats, red onion, garlic, soy sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Pulse the mixture until it comes together but still retains some texture. Be careful not to over-process it into a paste.
Transfer the mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the thickened flax egg until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each into a round patty.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little oil if desired.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns in a separate pan or in a toaster until golden.
Assemble each burger by spreading vegan mayo on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lettuce leaf, a chickpea patty, tomato slices, avocado slices, and finally the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty vegan classic burger!
