Servings: 2 servings
- 15 oz Black beans one can, rinsed and drained
- 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 Tbsp Ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper or to taste
- 1 tbsp Olive oil or more to cook the patties
To serve with:
- Lettuce leaves
- Red onion thinly sliced
- 1 Ripe tomato sliced
- 2 Burger buns choose whole wheat
- 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce to your taste
Place the beans into a food processor together with the vinegar, BBQ sauce, breadcrumbs, flaxseed, and seasonings. Pulse for about 1 minute, until you have a mixture that holds together (Be careful not to over-process into a paste, some chunky texture is welcomed).
Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and form them into patties.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the patties into the hot oil and sear each side until slightly brown and crispy, about 4 minutes on each side. If any bits fall from the sides as you flip, press them back into the sides of the patty.
Heat another non-stick pan over medium heat. Add buns and toast while moving, until both sides are warmed through and lightly crispy.
For assembling, spread some BBQ sauce over the insides of the buns. In between add a bean patty, onion and tomato slices and a few lettuce leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
- Be careful not to over-process the burger mix into a paste, some chunky texture is welcomed!
- When cooking the patties, if any bits fall from the sides as you flip, press them back into the sides of the patty.
- When toasting the buns in a pan, move them around while they toast, to avoid burning, you just want them a little crispy.
- To ensure that the black bean burgers don’t fall apart, drain the beans thoroughly to remove as much liquid from them as possible.
- For a lighter lunch, skip the bun and eat on a salad. Still super filling!
- When using a BBQ sauce, make sure it's vegan and does not contain honey.
