Instructions

1. 1Add oats to blender

   

   Measure one cup of oats and pour them directly into the blender container to serve as the structural base for the vegan black bean burger patties.

   Tip: Make sure the blender container is completely dry before adding the oats.
2. 2Add Mixed Nuts to Oats

   

   Pour half a cup of mixed nuts or walnuts into the blender containing one cup of oats.

   Tip: Make sure your blender is clean and dry before adding the dry ingredients.
3. 3Sprinkle Turmeric Powder

   

   Add a small amount of turmeric powder into the blender with the oats and nuts.

   Tip: A pinch of turmeric adds a subtle earthy flavor and a warm golden color.
4. 4Blend Oats and Nuts

   

   Seal the blender securely and operate it to chop the oats and mixed nuts for the first time, creating a coarse base texture for the burger mixture.

   Tip: Ensure the lid is locked tightly before pulsing to prevent ingredients from spilling.
5. 5Add Red Onion

   

   Remove the blender lid and add half a cup of diced red onion into the coarsely blended oat and nut mixture.

   Tip: Dice the onions finely so they distribute evenly throughout the burger patties.
6. 6Add Cooked Black Beans and Onion

   

   Add half a cup of red onion and one and a half cups of cooked black beans into the blender.

   Tip: Ensure the black beans are fully cooked and drained before adding them to the mixture.
7. 7Add Almond Butter

   

   Add a small spoonful of almond butter into the blender along with the black beans and red onion to help bind the ingredients together.

   Tip: Almond butter adds a rich, nutty flavor and acts as a natural binder for plant-based burgers.
8. 8Add Flaxseed Meal

   

   Add a small amount of flaxseed meal into the mixture.

   Tip: Flaxseed meal acts as a binding agent to help hold the burger patties together.
9. 9Add Nutritional Yeast

   

   Add a small amount of nutritional yeast powder to enhance the savory flavor of the mix.

   Tip: Nutritional yeast gives a cheesy, savory depth to plant-based recipes.
10. 10Add White Miso Paste and Seasoning

    

    Add one spoonful of white miso paste along with dried parsley, chili powder, and garlic powder, then prepare for the second round of mixing.

    Tip: Miso paste adds a rich umami flavor that balances the spices.
11. 11Add Dried Parsley

    

    Add dried parsley into the blender along with the other ingredients to enhance the herbal flavor profile of the burger patties.

    Tip: Dried parsley provides a concentrated savory aroma without adding extra moisture.
12. 12Add Chili Powder

    

    Add chili powder to the blender to give the black bean burger patties a subtle spicy kick.

    Tip: Adjust the amount of chili powder depending on your preferred level of heat.
13. 13Add Garlic Powder

    

    Add garlic powder into the blender to enrich the savory seasoning base of the burger mixture.

    Tip: Ensure the garlic powder is evenly distributed for a balanced flavor across all patties.
14. 14Blend the Mixture

    

    Operate the blender for a second round of chopping and mixing to fully combine all the spices, beans, and binders into a cohesive dough.

    Tip: Pulse or blend carefully to keep some texture rather than turning it into a completely smooth paste.
15. 15Shape the Patties

    

    Put on gloves, take portions of the blended mixture, and shape them into uniform round patties on a tray.

    Tip: Keeping the patties even in thickness ensures they bake uniformly in the oven.
16. 16Bake the Patties

    

    Place the tray containing the shaped black bean burger patties into the oven at 190 degrees for 25 minutes.

    Tip: Baking helps the patties firm up nicely without needing excessive oil from frying.
