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

  • Preheat the oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 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.
  • Add the beans, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, cumin, paprika, and pepper. 
  • Pulse until everything is well chopped and mixed, being careful not to overdo it (don't let the mixture turn to mush).
  • Shape the mixture into 6 patties and arrange them on the baking sheet. Lightly brush or spray the tops with oil.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Gently flip the patties, spray or brush the other sides with oil, and bake about 15 minutes more, until firm and lightly browned.
  • Stuff into buns and serve with toppings of choice.
