Ingredients
- 15 ounces black beans one can, rinsed and drained
- 1 Tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper or to taste
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil or more to cook the patties
To serve with:
- lettuce leaves
- red onion thinly sliced
- 1 ripe tomato sliced
- 2 burger buns choose whole wheat
- 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce to your taste
Instructions
- Place the beans into a food processor together with the vinegar, BBQ sauce, breadcrumbs, flaxseed, and seasonings. Pulse for about 1 minute, until you have a mixture that holds together (Be careful not to over-process into a paste, some chunky texture is welcomed).
- Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and form them into patties.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully place the patties into the hot oil and sear each side until slightly brown and crispy, about 4 minutes on each side. If any bits fall from the sides as you flip, press them back into the sides of the patty.
- Heat another non-stick pan over medium heat. Add buns and toast while moving, until both sides are warmed through and lightly crispy.
- For assembling, spread some BBQ sauce over the insides of the buns. In between add a bean patty, onion and tomato slices and a few lettuce leaves.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes
- Be careful not to over-process the burger mix into a paste, some chunky texture is welcomed!
- When cooking the patties, if any bits fall from the sides as you flip, press them back into the sides of the patty.
- When toasting the buns in a pan, move them around while they toast, to avoid burning, you just want them a little crispy.
- To ensure that the black bean burgers don’t fall apart, drain the beans thoroughly to remove as much liquid from them as possible.
- For a lighter lunch, skip the bun and eat on a salad. Still super filling!
- When using a BBQ sauce, make sure it's vegan and does not contain honey.
