Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 can (15 oz) organic black beans (rinsed and drained (or 2 cups cooked dry beans))
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats (gluten free if necessary)
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (or all-purpose, whole wheat, or a gluten free flour blend)
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons spicy salsa (use your favorite)
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for pan frying (olive oil, grape seed oil, or coconut oil))
  • 4 burger buns (gluten free, if desired)
  • ketchup, mustard, onion slices, avocado slices, pickles, lettuce, tomato, etc. (optional)

Instruction

  • Mash black beans in a bowl with a fork or potato masher.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, except the oil, and stir to combine.
  • Depending on how liquidy your salsa is, you may need to add more flour. Add it 1 tablespoon at a time if needed, mixing after each addition. Likewise, if your mixture seems dry, add 1 tablespoon more of salsa at a time, mixing after each addition.
  • Divide mixture into 4 sections. Form each section into a patty and place on a large plate.
  • Heat oil in pan over medium heat.
  • Pan fry the burger patties for 5 to 6 minutes until the first side is lightly browned and crispy on the outside. Carefully flip the patties over and pan fry another 3 to 4 minutes until browned on the 2nd side.
  • Assemble burgers on buns with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
