Black beans are packed with vitamins and fiber and make up the base of this patty. They are naturally low in calories and just a 1/2 cup of black beans contains 8 grams of protein! Mix in some spices, veggies, and quinoa and you have a guilt-free burger that will leave you full and satisfied! You can serve it on a bun like a normal burger or wrap it up in a big piece of lettuce to get an extra dose of veggies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked black beans (I use my leftover beans)
- 1-1/2 cup cooked quinoa (remember to rinse your quinoa before preparing)
- 1 cup carrots, finely shredded
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 chia/flax eggs (1 tablespoon each of ground chia and ground flax – added to 1/4 cup water)
- 1-2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 jalapeño, finely chopped, seeds removed (optional for added heat)
- 1/4 cup oats, buzzed in the coffee grinder
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly cracked pepper to taste
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. It’s helpful to use your “clean” hands, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated and the beans are mashed up a bit.
3. Using the ring from a canning jar, place approximately 1/3 cup of the mixture into the lid and press down to create the perfect patty.
4. Bake 20-30 minutes, flipping the patties half-way through the cooking process.
5. Serve warm on a bun or lettuce cup. Top them off with your favorite burger toppings. ENJOY!
