Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, canned
• 1 cup cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup oat flour
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 3 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 vegan hamburger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 sliced tomato
• 1 sliced avocado
• 4 tablespoons ketchup

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly. Set them aside to drain completely.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water to create a flax egg. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes until thickened.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, around 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.

Step 6

Add the cooled onion and mushroom mixture, oat flour, soy sauce, tomato paste, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and the flax egg. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.

Step 7

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 8

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and heated through.

Step 9

To assemble, place each patty on the bottom half of a burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, avocado slices, and a tablespoon of ketchup. Close with the top bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan hamburger!
