Scrumptious Black Bean Burgers

AuthorShaunette EhiabhiDifficultyIntermediate

Let me start by confessing how much I love burgers! This was one of the hardest foods to give up on my journey to becoming a vegan.  A juicy burger with all the fixings and some fries were a weekly staple in my diet and I continued eating at least one burger a month on my journey to becoming a vegan until one day I decided I was finally going to give up meat but I'm not going to lie and tell you that I don't miss burgers.

Black bean burgers did not appeal to me at all!
Before I tried this recipe, I had never even eaten a black bean burger because it just didn't sound appetizing to me but my craving for a burger had me googling recipes almost daily for a week solid until I found one that didn't sound to complicated or non appetizing.

Those who have tried my recipes know that I'll hijack a recipe in a minute and put my own spin on it but not without giving credit where credit is due and I must thank Hummusapien for this appetizing and easy to make recipe that I put my on spin on of course.

I must confess, that I had to make this recipe a couple of times and adjust my ingredients before I got the consistency right.  I forgot to take new pictures so the ones pictured show a flatter burger but the measurements I provided should yield you a thick burger.

Enjoy and please share your feedback, pictures, etc. I'd love to hear from you.
