Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (optional, for pan-frying)
  • Whole wheat buns
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato slices
  • Red onion rings
  • Vegan mayo or spicy sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some texture.
  3. Add oats, bell pepper, onion, garlic, tomato paste, soy sauce, and spices. Mix thoroughly until combined.
  4. Shape mixture into 4 patties and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until firm and slightly crispy on the outside.
  6. Alternatively, pan-fry in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat, 4–5 minutes per side.
  7. Assemble burgers with buns, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and desired sauces. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free oats and tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • Patties can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen for later use.
  • Customize with your favorite spices or add jalapeños for heat.
