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
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ 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. 

  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 patties and arrange them on the baking sheet. Lightly brush or spray the tops with oil.

  6. Bake for 15 minutes.

  7. Gently flip the patties, spray or brush the other sides with oil, and bake about 15 minutes more, until firm and lightly browned.

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