Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 0.5 cup Brown rice, cooked
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cumin, ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Coriander, ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Whole-grain burger buns
• 4 leaves Leafy lettuce
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the cooked brown rice, grated carrot, chopped red bell pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, and rolled oats to the bowl with the beans. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the ground flaxseed, soy sauce, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty using your hands. Ensure each patty is about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If needed, lightly spray with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Cook each patty for about 7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 7

Toast the whole-grain burger buns in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 8

Assemble each burger by placing a leafy lettuce leaf on the bottom half of the toasted bun, followed by a plant-based patty.

Step 9

Top with slices of tomato and avocado, then cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Fat Garden Ultimate Plant-Based Burger!
