SIMPLE BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Ingredients

• 110 g Rolled oats
• 450 g Black beans, canned, drained, MRSJP
• 190 g Salsa sauce
• 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
• 1 tsp Chili powder (optional)
• 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
• 80 g Corn kernels
• 6 pcs Hamburger buns, whole-wheat (vegan)

Method

1. Place the oats in a food processor or blender and pulse 5 or 6 times until they are partially chopped.
2. Add all ingredients except the corn and pulse until most of the beans are blended. You can also do this with a fork, it just takes a little bit of mashing and mixing.
3. Spoon the bean mixture into a bowl and fold in the corn. Cover and refrigerate for about 15 minutes. It will firm up a little.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form bean mixture into six patties.
5. Bake for 20-30 minutes, being careful not to overcook and dry them out (you can also cook these on a good non stick pan without oil). They’re done when the outside is beginning to get crispy and they hold together well.
