Ingredients
- 15 oz canned black beans
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon coarse salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces whole wheat hamburger buns
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the black beans until mostly smooth. Some chunks are okay for added texture.
Step 3
Finely chop the red onion, red bell pepper, garlic cloves, and fresh cilantro. Add them to the mashed black beans.
Step 4
Add the old-fashioned oats, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the black bean mixture. Mix everything until well combined.
Step 5
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, place the black bean patties in the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust forms and the patties are heated through.
Step 8
Serve each black bean burger on a whole wheat hamburger bun. Add your choice of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, or avocado, if desired.
