Ingredients

For the Barbecue Sauce

  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Barbecue Chickpea Burgers

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 14 ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Oil, for grilling

For Serving

Instructions

  • Make the barbecue sauce by stirring all ingredients together in a medium bowl.
  • To make the burgers, first place the oats into a food processor bowl and process to a fine powder. Add the chickpeas, onion, garlic, and half of the barbecue sauce. Pulse until everything is chopped and well mixed, being careful not to overdo it.
  • Shape the mixture into 4 to 6 patties.
  • Lightly oil the bottom of a medium skillet. When the oil is hot, place a few patties into the skillet, leaving some room between them. Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate and cook any remaining patties, adding some oil to the skillet if needed.
  • Stuff the patties into buns and top with remaining sauce, slaw, tomato and pickle slices. Serve.
