Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a flax egg.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some chunks remaining for texture.
Add the cooked quinoa, rolled oats, bell pepper, grated carrot, and onion to the mashed chickpeas.
Stir in the flax egg, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 equally sized patties.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden and firm.
Toast the vegan burger buns lightly in the skillet or in a toaster.
Spread vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with lettuce, a chickpea patty, avocado slices, and tomato slices.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve warm.
