"Beefy" Vegan Black Bean Walnut Burgers

These are the best veggie burgers my husband and I have tried so far. I believe you could serve this and most would not guess it was not the real thing. It’s so good that the only changes I make to this recipe are to add some chopped red bell pepper and a sprinkle of crush red pepper flakes to it. While the recipe says it makes 6 burgers, I find it can easily make 8.

And just look at all the cancer-healing properties of this recipe I’ve been able to check off in my chart at the end of this post!

Ingredients

 1 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)

 1 cup chopped walnuts

 1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

 1 small onion, roughly chopped

 2 garlic cloves, minced

 2 tablespoons vegan Worcestershire sauce

 1 tablespoon soy sauce

 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

 1 teaspoon ground cumin

 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

 Salt to taste

 Cooking oil or spray

For Serving

 6 burger buns

 Toppings of choice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Place the oats and walnuts into the bowl of a food processor fitted with an

s-blade. Blend for a few seconds, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Add the beans, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, vinegar,

cumin, paprika, and pepper. [At this point, I also add about 1/2 cup of

chopped red bell pepper and red pepper flakes to taste.]

4. Pulse until everything is well chopped and mixed, being careful not to

overdo it (don’t let the mixture turn to mush).

5. Shape the mixture into 6 [I do 8] patties and arrange them on the baking

sheet. Lightly brush or spray the tops with oil. [Skipping the oil still works

well.]

6. Bake for 15 minutes.

7. Gently flip the patties, spray or brush the other sides with oil [if desired],

and bake about 15 minutes more, until firm and lightly browned.

8. Stuff into buns and serve with toppings of choice.
