How to Prepare Easy Black Bean Burger [Vegan]

Toast your bread in a toaster until golden and crispy. Tear the toasts and add them to a food processor. Process until you get small/medium sized crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl.
Rinse your black beans and add them to the same food processor (there's no need to clean it). Process a few seconds, leaving some texture.
Add your chopped onion and minced garlic to the food processor with the beans. Process a few more seconds to bring it all together. You want the mixture to have a bit of texture, while still being mashed. Transfer to the same large bowl as the bread crumbs.
In the food processor, add your sunflower seeds and walnuts. Pulse a few times until chopped. Transfer to the bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl. Stir everything together until combined.
Form 7-8 patties.
To cook the patties: Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties 5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy on the outside. Serve on a bun with desired toppings.
