Ingredients & Substitutions
Using canned black beans is super convenient, but you can also cook your own from dried beans if you're feeling adventurous! The oats can act as a binder, and you can substitute them with breadcrumbs if that's what you have on hand. Don't forget to season to your liking—these burgers are a blank canvas!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes before forming patties; it helps everything stick together better!
- •If you want extra crispy burgers, you can pan-fry them in a little olive oil after baking.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add a splash of hot sauce to the mixture for a spicy kick!
- •You can swap out the black beans for chickpeas for a different flavor and texture.
Storage & Freezing
These burgers store well in the fridge for about 4 days. Just keep them in an airtight container. If you freeze them, they’ll last for about 2-3 months. Just thaw and reheat when you're ready to enjoy!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these burgers?
Absolutely! I love to make a double batch and freeze half for a busy day. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then pop them in a freezer bag.
What can I add for extra flavor?
You could toss in some chopped cilantro, jalapeños for heat, or even some nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. Get creative!
