  • 1/3 Cup Oatmeal Instant, quick, or old fashioned oats.
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 1 15 oz. Can Black Beans
  • 1/2 Cup Cooked Rice Any rice will work well, I used Basmati.
  • 2 Tbsp Tapioca Flour Or Corn Starch.
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/8 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • Salt and Pepper To taste.
Oil for frying the patties.
  • 2 Tbsp Oil I use avocado oil.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for the black beans.
  3. Rinse and drain the black beans.
  4. After the black beans have drained, place the beans onto a paper towel to dry off any extra water.
  5. Once you have dried off the beans, place them onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
  6. Place the beans into the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes.
  7. While the beans are baking, cook the oatmeal in water.
  8. Once the oatmeal is done, remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
  9. After 10 to 12 minutes, check on the beans, you will know they are done when the beans start to pop open.
  10. Remove the beans from the oven and pour them into a medium sized mixing bowl.
  11. Add the cooked oatmeal to the beans and mash everything together.
  12. Next, add the spices, tapioca flour, rice, and mix by hand, forming everything into a ball.
  13. Place the ball into the refrigerator for about 1/2 hour.
  14. After the 1/2 hour, remove the ball from the fridge and cut it into quarters.
  15. In a large skillet add the oil and heat at a medium high heat.
  16. Next, form the quarters into nice round patties and place them into the warm oil.
  17. Cook the patties for a few minutes, or until they start to brown, then flip the patties and continue cooking for a few more minutes.
  18. Once the burgers have nicely browned, remove the patties from the skillet and place them onto a plate.
  19. Serve these burger on top of your favorite bun with fresh avocado, aioli, and salsa.
  20. ENJOY!

Notes

These burgers are also freezer friendly too!
After you fry them up, let them cool and throw them in a freezer friendly container and pop them into your freezer.
When you are ready to use your burger, toss them in the microwave for about a minute, flip and cook for another minute, or until completely warmed.
Note: Cook time can vary depending on the microwave.
