Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Meanwhile, clean and finely chop the cremini mushrooms.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook for another 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork, leaving some texture.

Step 6

Add the sautéed onion, garlic, and mushrooms to the mashed beans.

Step 7

Stir in the thickened flaxseed mixture, rolled oats, soy sauce, vegan Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, and black pepper.

Step 8

Mix everything well and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.

Step 9

Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each portion into a patty.

Step 10

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat.

Step 11

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are browned and heated through.

Step 12

Lightly toast the burger buns if desired.

Step 13

Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on each bun.

Step 14

Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a mushroom patty.

Step 15

Top with slices of tomato and avocado.

Step 16

Place the top half of the bun on the burger and serve immediately.
