Black Bean Veggie Burgers

Ever since I wrote the post about Boca Burgers Exposed, I have been making it a mission to create easy veggie burger recipes.  Like these black bean veggie burgers.  You can read about the Boca Burger post here.  This is a burger recipe we have been making for a long time, so I thought it was about time to get it up on the blog. These burgers provides a nice alternative that even older kids should be able to sink their jaws into.  These black bean veggie burgers would be great on whole grain bread, in a sprouted corn tortilla or served over quinoa.  The key to making this a tasty dish is the caramelized onions and the crispy outside.

  1. Hi Melissa, I'm making these burgers tonight and the mixture seems very wet. I followed the recipe exactly except I used a real egg instead of a flax egg and regular white flour. I can't exactly form them into a patty. It's more like round circles of pancake batter on the baking sheet. Just wondering if I did something wrong and if they will come out all right? They are in the oven now.
    1. I haven't made these in so long, but I don't remember the batter being very wet. Can you just add some more flour? Let me know how they turn out.
  2. I plan to use 1/2-3/4 cup almond flour as breading and anytime I make something like this and it's too wet, you just add more almond flour. In my opinion, almond is the GF version of cornmeal. I make a hushpuppy almond bread that mimics a hush puppy: 2 cups almond flour, 1 Tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp cream of tartar, 1 tsp active dry yeast (for structure), 1 pkg plain gelatin, 1-1/2 cups buttermilk, 3 large or 4 medium eggs, beaten, 1 small finely diced sweet onion, 1 or 1-1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/4 cup flax seed meal, 1/2 cup or 1 stack melted butter. Combine all ingreds in a large bowl & stir with a wooden spoon. Bake at 325`F in a glass pyrex 11X9-inch dish for 40-45 mins and it taste line a hush puppy. Take care...
  3. I finally made these burgers and I just love them. I cannot use panko nor corn so I used millet flour. They look just like a real burger. Mr Boopie even tried them on a bun and he loved them. Thank you so much.
