"Vegan and delish. Adapted from a recipe in Prevent and Reverse Heart disease"

 

• Ready In: 21mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 7-8 burgers
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Rotel Tomatoes
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 cup carrot, chopped (i used a handful of pre-bagged shredded)
• 1 dash spike seasoning, seasoning or 1 dash salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 cups old fashioned oats, not quick oats

directions

1. In food processor put first 6 ingredients and process until blended. I left some carrots chunky.
2. Add oats and stir to mix well.
3. Let sit for 20 minutes to soften oats.
4. Preheat oven to 400degrees.
5. Roll into burger patties and put on baking sheet- I used a cast iron griddle to help with non-stick and to keep it fat free. You can spray baking sheet w/ oil prior to placing burgers on it.
6. Bake 8 minutes on each side. The recipe says you can also "fry" burgers in non-stick fry pan.
7. Serve w/ whole wheat buns w/ toppings of choice. Enjoy this recipe made 7 good sized burgers.
8. You can also freeze these after cooking and reheat. I am planning on taking these camping.

The burgers were excellent.<br/><br/>I used 1 can of pinto beans in place of 1 can of black beans - due to limited supply. I added 1 more garlic clove.<br/><br/>Recipe made 8 good sized burgers!<br/><br/>Served it on a toasted bun.

Delicious! I was worried about the oatmeal because I thought it would be too 'oaty' (in texture not flavor) but it was fine! I wish the burgers were firmer. Easy & delicious. I used my own cooked beans. I think I cooked up 2c dry? I garnished with recipe#196756. YUM!
