Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked lentils
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 medium, grated Carrot
• 1 medium, finely diced Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Brown rice flour or oat flour
• 4 Whole wheat burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 large, sliced Tomato
• 4 tablespoons (optional) Vegan ketchup or mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 5 tablespoons of water to create a flax egg. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 2

Place the cooked lentils, rolled oats, grated carrot, onion, garlic, soy sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, and the prepared flax egg into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Using a potato masher or the back of a fork, mash the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should stick together but still have some texture from the lentils and vegetables.

Step 4

Dust in the flour gradually and mix until the mixture holds together firmly. If too sticky, add a small amount of extra flour.

Step 5

Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 6

Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray if necessary.

Step 7

Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Toast the whole wheat burger buns lightly, if desired.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by layering each bun with a cooked patty, lettuce leaf, tomato slices, and any optional vegan ketchup or mustard.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
