Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Cooked chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Walnuts
• 1 medium Carrot (grated)
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion (finely diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
• 4 Gluten-free burger buns
• 4 large leaves Lettuce (for serving)
• 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
• 0.25 cup Vegan mayonnaise or preferred topping

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed and water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 2

In a food processor, add the cooked chickpeas, rolled oats, and walnuts. Pulse a few times until the mixture is slightly coarse but well combined (avoid over-processing).

Step 3

Add the grated carrot, diced onion, minced garlic, flax egg, paprika, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse again until everything is well incorporated and the mixture begins to hold together. Scrape down the sides as needed.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Divide it into 4 equal parts and shape them into burger patties about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and firm.

Step 6

Toast the gluten-free burger buns if desired. Assemble the burgers by layering each bun with a lettuce leaf, a chickpea patty, slices of tomato, and a dollop of vegan mayonnaise or your preferred topping.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious soy-free vegan hamburger!
