Vegan Black Bean Veggie Burgers

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse rolled oats (~10 times) until chopped, but not into flour.

Step 2

Add remaining ingredients and pulse together 6-7 times, or blend until integrated. (It doesn’t need to be smooth—you want some chunks.)

Step 3

Portion mixture into balls and then form into ½-inch thick patties. (I used a heaping ice cream scoop to portion the mixture into 6 patties.)

Step 4

Stovetop Method: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned & crisp around the edges, but tender in the middle. (You can’t undercook these vegan patties, so just cook until as crisp as you like them.)

Step 5

Oven-Baked Method: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment & spray with cooking spray. Add patties and bake for 7 minutes, flip, and then bake another 7-8 minutes until browned and crispy.

Step 6

Serve patty on a burger bun with your favorite toppings, over salad greens, or however you like!

Step 7

Yields 6 veggie burger patties.
