Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1/2 yellow onion (roughly chopped)
  • 4-6 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
  • 15 oz can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup quick cook oats
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs*
  • 1-2 jalapenos (diced)
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 2 tbsp spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • pinch of salt and pepper (plus more for topping)
  • 6 burger buns
  • OPTIONAL TOPPINGS: lettuce (tomato, onion, spinach, jalapeños, banana peppers, BBQ sauce, vegan ranch, etc.)

Instruction

  • Add onion and garlic to a small pan over medium heat with 1 tbsp. of water. Saute until veggies start to soften.**
  • Scoop cooked veggies into a blender or food processor and pulse 2-3 times until combined, but not total mush.
  • Add beans to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until about half of the beans are mashed and the other half are still intact.
  • Add onion and garlic mixture to the bowl as well as remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Form mixture into 6 balls and flatten into patties.*** Place patties on baking sheet and put in the freezer for at least an hour.
  • If you are going to eat them right away, heat a pan over medium heat. Coat with non-stick spray and add frozen patties. Cook until browned and warmed through (about 6-8 minutes per side).
  • Serve on a burger bun, in a wrap or over a salad with your favorite toppings.
  • If you plan to store the patties for later: remove baking sheet from the freezer after an hour and cut parchment paper into squares. Stack patties on top of each other (with a piece of parchment paper between each patty) and place in freezer proof container. When ready to serve, follow cooking instructions above - no need to thaw patties.
