• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, canned
• 1 cup cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup oat flour
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 3 tablespoons water

• 4 vegan hamburger buns

• 1 sliced avocado
• 4 tablespoons ketchup

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly. Set them aside to drain completely.

2. In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water to create a flax egg. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes until thickened.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

4. Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, around 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

5. In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.

6. Add the cooled onion and mushroom mixture, oat flour, soy sauce, tomato paste, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and the flax egg. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.

7. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

8. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and heated through.

9. To assemble, place each patty on the bottom half of a burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, avocado slices, and a tablespoon of ketchup. Close with the top bun.

10. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan hamburger!
