Chipotle Black Bean Burgers
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 4 tbsp water
- 1 plantain (i recommend ripe if you can for more sweetness)*
- 5-6 baby bella mushrooms, roughly chopped
- 1/4 medium red onion, roughly chopped
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp chipotle powder
- 2 tsp sazón
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp garlic chili sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
Preparation
Set oven to 375F
In a medium mixing bowl, combine water and flaxseed and set aside for at least 5 minutes while prepping other ingredients
Peel ripe plantain and place on a lined baking sheet along with mushrooms and onions and bake for at 15 minutes
Remove from oven and set aside for a moment
In a food processor, add oats, beans, garlic and everything from the baking tray
Give it a few pulses to break everything up and continue to pulse until the crumbly mixture can start to hold shape
Dump contents into the mixing bowl with the flax egg and add all remaining ingredients
Start mixing the ingredients together with your hands to help incorporate the spices
To make forming patties easier, clean hands and leave them slightly wet (should help prevent sticking) form 6-8 evenly shaped patties
Place patties on a lined baking tray and place in the oven for 15 minutes, flip and bake for another 8-10 minutes
Remove from oven and serve with salsa
