We've been making a lot of burgers in our house lately. When I say burgers I mean bean burgers and veggie burgers...burgers with a lot of taste! This recipe is definitely one of my new favorites. I made a few small modifications to make it vegan and topped it with guacamole, lettuce and tomato.
Ingredients:
2 cups coarsely mashed sweet potatoes, about 2 large potatoes
1 cup cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup oats
1/3 cup oat flour (all- purpose or wheat is ok too)
1 tsp. flaxseed meal
3 Tbsp. water
1 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. chopped onion
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. cumin
2-3 Tbsp. olive oil
Toppings:
lettuce, tomato, guacamole, etc.
Pierce the potatoes with a fork and cook in the microwave until done, about 8 min. While potatoes are baking prepare the flaxseed meal. Mix 1 Tbsp. flaxseed meal with 3 Tbsp. water and let sit for about two minutes. When potato is done let cool until you can scoop out the flesh.
In a large bowl, coarsely mash beans with a fork. Add in sweet potato and mash together, then add in spices, salt and pepper, minced garlic, onion, flaxseed meal mixture, oats, and flour. Mix together until combined, then place bowl in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over med. high heat and add 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Remove mixture from fridge and form into 4 equal patties. Cook about 5-6 minutes per side. Eat on a whole wheat bun with desired toppings. Enjoy!
