How to Prepare Black Bean and Basil Burger [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Put the beans in a large bowl and mash them until about 2/3 are mashed and the remaining 1/3 are still whole.
  2. Add all of the remaining ingredients, except for the oat flour, and mix well. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Add the oat flour a tablespoon at a time until you get a mixture that sticks together.
  3. Form 6 to 8 burgers (depending on how large you want them) that are about 3/4-inch thick. Set them aside in the freezer to firm up.
  4. While the burgers are resting, heat a bit of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is ready, remove the burgers from the freezer. Cook the burgers in the skillet for 5-7 minutes on each side until the outside has formed a deep golden crust.
  5. Cool on a paper towel lined plate. Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and re-heat in a toaster oven or in a skillet.
