So, are you on Threads yet?

I finally joined last week just to see what all of the fuss was about. 

If you’re curious, it feels reminiscent of Twitter with a mix of circa ~2013 Instagram thrown in. 

It’s funny that I first heard about this trending new social media network via M, who really doesn’t use social media at all. 

I wanted to hop on to see if it might be a nice way to connect with the F&V community in a more conversational way. 

As social media platforms pop up and change, I’m super grateful that I have a forever home in this website. 

And all of you, friends, are my forever family! 

And since we’re family, we should really sit down this summer to a meal together, don’t you think? 

These Best Black Bean Burgers are super easy to make with Eden Foods Organic Black Beans, almond flour, and oats.

Enjoy them with your favorite toppings for a plant-based burger night!

How to Make Homemade Black Bean Burgers

Do you ever go through seasons where your food cravings completely change?

Well this summer, all I want is a burger and fries. 

If you’ve been around here a while, you know that’s pretty wild. 

Usually I’m happy when my plate is primarily vegetables, but lately I’m craving all of the hearty and satiating vegan foods.

So, I decided to make my own plant-based burgers that are packed with protein, fiber, and flavor. 

We’ve got several veggie burgers on the blog already, but these black bean burgers are mostly black beans!

They’re dense and compact, making them perfect to stack on lettuce leaves, buns, or in salad or bowl.

What You Need to Make Best Black Bean Burgers

Here’s what you need to make the Best Black Bean Burgers:

  • ground flaxseed
  • Eden Foods Organic Black Beans
  • almond flour
  • gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats 
  • garlic powder
  • cumin
  • chili powder
  • smoked paprika
  • Himalayan sea salt
  • ground black pepper
  • Eden Foods Organic Roasted Sesame Tahini

That’s it!

First, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Grab a couple of cans of Eden Foods Organic Black Beans; the star of this recipe! 

These are by far my favorite black beans. 

I aways have a few cans in the pantry for soups, stews, tacos, brownies, and burgers! 

These organic black turtle beans are canned with no chemical additives and no salt! 

I love how versatile they are; with a mild sweetness and a buttery texture. 

The valuable antioxidant pigment carotenoids found in berries gives these beans their dark color.

Cool, huh?

How to Make Best Black Bean Burgers

Add the black beans to a mixing bowl and slightly smash them, leaving some of whole beans intact.

I’d say about 50% smashed is a good goal to aim for. 

Next, add in the almond flour, oats, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, Himalayan sea salt, black pepper, and tahini.

I recommend using Eden Foods Organic Roasted Sesame Tahini!

Mix everything in the bowl well until the burger mix is thick and compact. 

If it’s too dry, add a little more tahini. 

Using a ~1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop out the mixture and transfer it to the parchment lined baking sheet.

Gently press down on the burgers with the bottom of the measuring cup to flatten them.

Tips & Tricks

The recipe makes about 6-8 burgers, depending on how large you’d like to make your burgers. 

Transfer the sheet pan meal to the oven and bake the burgers for a total of 20 minutes.

Be sure to flip them with a spatula after the 10 minute mark for even baking.

Toppings for Best Black Bean Burgers

Now here’s the fun part– serving! 

For serving, I love: 

  • Eden Foods Organic Sauerkraut
  • Tomato
  • Lettuce
  • Eden Foods Organic Yellow Mustard

And anything else you’d like!

How to Serve Best Black Bean Burgers

Enjoy these Best Black Bean Burgers on a bun or in a lettuce wrap with all of your favorite toppings.

I love mine served with Eden Foods Organic Sauerkraut, tomato, lettuce, and Eden Foods Organic Yellow Mustard.

They’re going to be your new favorite summer burger because they’re packed with protein but won’t fall apart on you. 

For a crispier outside, you can also pan-fry these burgers on the stovetop! 

You can easily meal prep these burgers and use them as protein for the week. 

They’re also perfect to make for outdoor entertaining this summer to share with friends and family. 

Store any leftover burgers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days and freeze them for long term storage.

Enjoy!

Description

Best black bean burgers made with black beans, almond flour, and oats. Enjoy with your favorite toppings for plant-based burger night!


Ingredients

Best Black Bean Burgers

  • 2 flax eggs (2 TBSP ground flaxseed + 5 TBSP filtered water)
  • 2 15-oz. cans Eden Foods Organic Black Beans
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats 
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 – 1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 TBSP Eden Foods Organic Roasted Sesame Tahini

For serving

  • Eden Foods Organic Sauerkraut
  • Tomato
  • Lettuce
  • Eden Foods Organic Yellow Mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add the black beans to a mixing bowl and slightly smash them, leaving some whole beans intact. Add in the almond flour, oats, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, Himalayan sea salt, black pepper, and tahini. Mix well to combine. The batter should be pretty thick and compact. 
  3. Using a ~1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop out the mixture and transfer it to the parchment lined baking sheet. Gently press down on the burgers with the bottom of the measuring cup to flatten them. The recipe makes about 6-8 burgers.
  4. Bake the burgers for a total of 20 minutes, carefully flipping them with a spatula after 10 minutes. Bake the burgers longer for drier crispier burgers and less time for softer, more pliable patties. 
  5. Enjoy burgers on a bun or in a lettuce wrap with all of your favorite toppings. I love mine with sauerkraut, tomato, lettuce, and mustard.
  6. Store leftover burgers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days and freeze them for long term storage.

    Can’t wait to make these. No food processor, just a fork! Do you think I could use chia seeds instead of flax as the binder?

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
