🛒 Ingredients (Makes 4–6 Patties)

  • 1 (15 oz / 425g) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chili powder (optional for heat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Optional Add-ins:

  • 1 tbsp ketchup or BBQ sauce (for flavor and moisture)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Mash the Beans

  • In a large bowl, mash black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some texture remaining.

2. Combine Ingredients

  • Add onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg (or flax egg), spices, and any optional add-ins.
  • Mix until fully combined. If too wet, add more breadcrumbs.

3. Shape the Patties

  • Divide mixture into 4–6 equal parts and shape into burger patties. Chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to firm up.

4. Cook the Burgers

Pan-Fry:

  • Heat 1–2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side, until crisp and golden.

Bake:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place patties on a lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

🍔 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve on toasted burger buns with lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.
  • Add sauces like chipotle mayo, tahini dressing, or classic ketchup and mustard.
  • Great in wraps or bowls with rice, salad, and salsa.

🧠 FAQs

Are these burgers vegan?
They can be! Use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 2.5 tbsp water) instead of a regular egg.

Can I freeze black bean burgers?
Yes! Freeze uncooked patties with parchment between them for up to 2 months. Cook from frozen or thaw first.

Do they hold together?
Yes—chilling before cooking helps them stay firm and not fall apart.


🔁 Variations

  • Spicy Black Bean Burgers: Add chopped jalapeños and hot sauce
  • Cheesy Version: Mix in shredded cheese or top while cooking
  • Mexican Style: Add corn, cilantro, and lime zest for extra flavor.
