Yield:

15 burgers

Ingredients

2 ½ cups canned black beans, liquid reserved

2 cups rolled oats, or more as needed

2 cups raw sunflower seed kernels

1 (16 ounce) package white mushrooms, stemmed and quartered

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 white onion, cut into 1-inch pieces

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoons vegan Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons salt, or more to taste

2 tablespoons ground black pepper

2 tablespoons onion powder

2 tablespoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

vegetable oil as needed

Directions

Step 1

Process black beans in a food processor or blender with just enough of the reserved can liquid to get the processor going. Place into a large bowl.

Step 2

Blend oats in the food processor until they become oat flour; add to the large bowl. Blend sunflower seeds until finely ground; add to the bowl. Blend mushrooms, bell peppers, and onion in batches in a food processor and add to oat mixture. Mix in parsley, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin thoroughly using your hands or a rubber spatula, adding more processed oats if needed to hold shape.

Step 3

Roll mixture into 15 tight balls, flatten, and cup the sides to ensure the patties do not have cracks. Place on wax or parchment paper.

Step 4

Heat oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or over medium heat. Place patties carefully into the hot oil using your hands or a spatula, working in batches. Cook until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove and place onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, about 2 minutes. Repeat with more oil until all burgers are cooked.
