Spicy Black Bean Burgers on Gluten-Free Buns

Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 oz each) Canned Black Beans, rinsed and drained
• 0.75 cup Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Chili Powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 0.5 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 4 buns Gluten-Free Burger Buns
• as needed Optional Toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, dairy-free mayo, ketchup, mustard)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, add the 2 cans (15 oz each) Canned Black Beans, rinsed and drained. Mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly broken down but still have a little texture.
2. 2Add the 0.75 cup Gluten-Free Rolled Oats, 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped, 2 cloves Garlic, minced, 1 tbsp Chili Powder, 1 tsp Cumin, 0.5 tsp Smoked Paprika, 0.5 tsp Salt, and 0.25 tsp Black Pepper to the bowl with the mashed black beans. Mix everything together very well until all the ingredients are combined. Squeeze a little of the mixture in your hand; it should hold its shape.
3. 3Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a patty. You should have 4 patties.
4. 4Heat the 1 tbsp Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C).
5. 5Carefully place the 4 patties into the hot skillet. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes on the first side, until they are golden brown and a crust has formed. Flip the patties and cook for another 6 to 8 minutes on the second side, until they are also golden brown and heated through.
6. 6While the burgers are cooking, you can warm the 4 buns Gluten-Free Burger Buns if you like.
7. 7Place one cooked burger patty on the bottom half of each of the 4 buns. Add your Optional Toppings as desired.
8. 8Serve the Spicy Black Bean Burgers immediately.
