Black Bean Burgers

Looking for a family night meal idea? A fast-food replicated healthy option?…

A guilt free meal you can eat EVERY.SINGLE.DAY?!
(Without the free pass for our # 1 leading killer? – heart disease…)

Ingredients; (Makes 4)

2 Cups black beans

1 Cup oatmeal

1/2 purple onion

3/4 Cup mushrooms

1 tbsp flax seeds

2 tsp miso paste

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

2 tbsp tahini

Spices of choice!

Directions;

Mix all ingredients together in a blender or food processor, once mixed scoop out and mould together into even “burger patties” (note you may have to wet your hands while moulding or use a wet spatula) and bake in a pre-heated oven on 375 for 30-35 minutes 🙂

 ALSO in the meantime you could already have your sweet potato “FRIES” chopped up and seasoned and ready to pop in the oven alongside of your burgers! For the fries this is what I have done…

I just cut up 1 Sweet Potato into ‘fry’ like shapes, added 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar & spices to a bowl, whirl around & then place in a PRE-heated oven on 400F and bake for 30-40 minutes!

FOR THE “BUN” I used a Portabella mushroom! With the mushrooms I drizzled it in balsamic vinegar & roasted it in the oven at the end when the burger was done while waiting for them to cool off!

FOR MY TOPPINGS – I used avocado mashed up, arugula, some marinara sauce and a little mustard! Of course, use whatever toppings you like! – However I would recommend a fat source (such as a healthy one like avocado) as a topping of choice, due to the burgers itself being very low fat! – So you want some Healthy Fats in there also to help your body take in all the nutrients 

MACROS FOR THE ENTIRE BATCH (in case you wanted to make more or less then 4 burgers – OR you can make a bunch of minis and call them “MEATBALLS”)

As mentioned, this is for the entire batch of burgers. I have made FOUR, but you can make as many as you like! You can easily get 6 burgers out of this as they are very hearty and filling! Or made SMALL “Meatballs” of 12-16!

You can also make these days in advance for your MEAL PREP! 

Get creative & enjoy! 🙂
