Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Cooked quinoa
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free oats
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 cup Finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves Minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
• 4 buns Gluten-free hamburger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Sliced tomato
• 0.25 cup Vegan mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Ketchup

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency (this will serve as your egg substitute).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the rinsed black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture.

Step 3

Add the cooked quinoa, gluten-free oats, flaxseed mixture, chopped onion, minced garlic, tamari, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the beans. Mix everything thoroughly to form a cohesive dough-like mixture.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾-inch thick. If the mixture feels too sticky, wet your hands slightly with water to help shape the patties.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the gluten-free hamburger buns in a toaster or on a dry skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

To assemble the hamburgers, spread vegan mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom half of the toasted buns. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, and a slice or two of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious gluten-free vegan hamburgers!
