Easy Black Bean Burgers

I’ve made A LOT of black bean burgers. There are SO many different ways to make a good black bean burger. Some are way harder than others, and I really can’t be bothered with those. These are good, easy, and get the job done.

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 can black beans (drained & rinsed)

1/4 cup chopped bell pepper

1/4 cup red onion

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp nutritional yeast

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tbsp ketchup

1/2 cup oats

What to do:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Mash the black beans
3. Add the bell pepper, red onion, onion powder, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, paprika and ketchup. Mix well.
4. Grind the 1/2 cup of oats into a fine powder and add a little bit of the powder to the mix at a time until the mixture holds together well.
5. Form balls with about 3 tbsp of mix and place onto a greased baking sheet.
6. Flatten balls with palm of hand to form patties
7. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, flipping half way through
