Ingredients

• 425 grams Black beans, canned
• 60 grams Rolled oats
• 0.5 medium Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 30 grams Breadcrumbs (optional, for binding)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

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 potato masher, mash the black beans until they are mostly smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.

Step 3

Add the rolled oats, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, soy sauce, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

If the mixture feels too wet to form patties, stir in the breadcrumbs one tablespoon at a time until the mixture holds together.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add two patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining olive oil and patties, cooking in batches if necessary.

Step 8

Serve the spicy vegan bean burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or spicy vegan mayo.
