Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare Ingredients: In a food processor, pulse the oats until they become a coarse flour. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the black beans to the food processor and pulse until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
-
Mix Ingredients: In the large mixing bowl, combine the processed black beans, oat flour, red bell pepper, onion, garlic, corn, cilantro, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
-
Bind Mixture: Add the egg (or flax egg) to the mixture and stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should be sticky but hold together when formed into a patty.
-
Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake Patties: Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are firm and slightly crispy on the edges.
-
Cook Patties: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the baked patties and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Serve the veggie burgers on buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and vegan mayo. Enjoy your delicious, homemade Veggie Burgers!
