• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 4 burger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 0.5 cup vegan mayo
• 1 avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds and water to make a flax egg. Stir well and set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a food processor, add the chickpeas, rolled oats, red onion, garlic, soy sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Pulse the mixture until it comes together but still retains some texture. Be careful not to over-process it into a paste.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the thickened flax egg until well combined.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each into a round patty.

Step 6

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little oil if desired.

Step 7

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns in a separate pan or in a toaster until golden.

Step 9

Assemble each burger by spreading vegan mayo on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lettuce leaf, a chickpea patty, tomato slices, avocado slices, and finally the top half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty vegan classic burger!
