Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned black beans
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp water
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 small red onion
- 2 tbsp, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 gluten-free buns
- 0 optional desired burger toppings (e.g., lettuce, tomato, avocado, mustard, etc.)
Directions
Step 1
1. Drain and rinse the black beans and chickpeas, then add them to a large mixing bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, mash them until mostly smooth with some small chunks for texture.
Step 2
2. Blend the gluten-free rolled oats in a food processor or blender until they’re a coarse flour-like consistency. Add the oat flour to the mixing bowl.
Step 3
3. In a small bowl, combine chia seeds and water. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, or until it forms a gel-like consistency. This will act as a binder for the burgers.
Step 4
4. Finely mince the garlic and small red onion, then add them to the mixing bowl along with the chopped parsley, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
5. Add the prepared chia seed mixture and gluten-free breadcrumbs to the mixing bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until the mixture comes together and can be formed into patties.
Step 6
6. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 7
7. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the patties in batches (2 at a time), cooking for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet if needed for the second batch.
Step 8
8. Toast the gluten-free buns, if desired, and assemble the burgers with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or mustard.
Step 9
9. Serve warm and enjoy your ultimate gluten-free bean burger!
