Ingredients

Burger

  • 16 oz Black Beans soaked
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/2 cup Bread Crumbs

Instructions

  • Prepare your dry black beans according to your packaging the night before.
  • Weigh out, or approximate, 16 ounces of soaked and prepared black beans.
    • Don't weigh out 16 ounces of dried black beans. It will increase in weight. Weigh after soaking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash up your black beans until you get a paste-like consistency.
  • Add in your spices. Mix.
  • Add in your egg. Mix
  • Add in your bread crumbs. Mix.
  • Mold your mixture into patties.
  • Cook each patty on medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side until browned.
  • Serve and enjoy

Notes

  • I made 5 - 3oz patties and 1 - 2oz patty for my family. The amount this recipe should make is approximately 17oz of black bean burgers. Use a food scale, or eyeball your portions, to make the perfect sized patties for your family.
  • You can substitute eggs with Aquafaba (the water from chickpeas). However, because I haven't tried it that way, I can't attest to texture or taste.
  • If you want a more beef-like flavor in your black bean burgers, you can add about 2tsp - 3tsp worth of beef bullion during the spices step.
