Igredients

•  1/4 Cup Red Onion chopped 
• 1 Clove Garlic
• 1/4 Cup Rolled or Quick Oats
• 1/4 Cup Breadcrumbs
• 1/4 Cup Walnuts
• 2 Tbs Ground Flaxseed
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 1/2 Tsp Paprika

• Black Pepper to taste
• 1 15 oz Can Black Beans rinsed and dried
• 2 Tbs Olive Oil
• 1-2 Tbs Water
• Neutral Vegetable Oil for sauté

Directions

• Step 1 – In a food processor, add in the chopped onions and the clove of garlic. Process until everything is minced finely. 

• Step 2 – Then, add in the oats, breadcrumbs, walnuts, flaxseed, salt, and spices. Process until the mixture forms a chunky meal.

• Step 3 – Then add in the black beans and olive oil, plus 1 tbs of water. Process until the mixture is chunky and pliable (there should still be some chunks of black beans in the mixture – you don’t want it to be totally smooth).

• Step 4 – If the dough is too crumbly, add in the additional 1 tbs of water.

• Step 5 – Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes. DO NOT skip this step!!

• Step 6 – Then, cut the dough into four even portions.

• Step 7 – Bring a sauté pan to medium heat with a drizzle of a neutral vegetable oil. 

• Step 8 – While the pan is heating, shape the dough into burgers.

• Step 9 – Cook each burger in the pan with oil for about 4-5 minutes on each side.

• Step 10 – Serve the burgers on your favorite bun with lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion. (Or any fillings you like!)
