These Easy Vegan Black Bean Burgers ever that are vegan, meatless and oil-free! From Vegan Richa’s Everyday Kitchen Cookbook!

EASY VEGAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS

I’m super excited to share today’s recipe, as it comes from one of my favorite bloggers, Richa Hingle. I’m sure everybody already knows her blog, Vegan Richa! Richa has just released her 2nd cookbook, Vegan Richa’s Everyday Kitchen, and it is beautiful. I have her first book as well, Vegan Richa’s Indian Kitchen. Both of her books are amazing, as are all of her recipes on her blog. I have told Richa many times how much I love her recipes, because they are always so delicious and full of flavors and I have made many of them. My family loves her recipes as well, which is saying a lot. My hubby is the pickiest eater on the planet, I guarantee it.

VEGAN RICHA’S EVERYDAY KITCHEN COOKBOOK

Well, today’s recipe comes from her book and the title is accurate. Easiest Black Bean Burgers. They were so easy and fast to throw together. They held together well and use everyday ingredients. They are quite spicy from the ginger and jalapenos though (which I loved), but for little kids, I would scale back on the jalapenos. You know what I also love about these burgers? They are oil-free!

Other amazing recipes from this book that you are going to want to devour:  Red Curry Soup with Lentils, Bombay Potatoes and Peas, Buffalo Chickpea Tacos, Black Pepper Cheesy Mac and Broccoli, Richa’s Brownies

Here are a few shots from the book below. All photos done by Richa Hingle.

Now, back to these amazing burgers.

Richa’s book has every possible flavor combination  you could be craving, including a ton of “Awesome Sauces” to use for her amazing recipes. She includes many different variations, tips and notes on how to make the recipes based on what you have.

You will all LOVE her book, I guarantee it. Be sure to enter the giveaway below for one lucky reader!

I did my best to showcase her amazing food in these burger photos and I have to admit, I kind of want to eat my own photo, lol! I topped these bean burgers with my homemade barbecue sauce, because I’m a BBQ sauce girl on burgers…way more than ketchup.

Yields 4 burgers

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (60g) raw walnuts
  • 1/2 cup (40g) old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2-inch [1cm] knob fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (30g) coarsely chopped onion
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeño slices
  • 1 15-ounce [425g] can black beans or 1 1/2 cups (250g) cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup (10g) coarsely chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seed or chia seed
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons 10 to 15g dry breadcrumbs or flour (gluten-free if necessary)

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, combine the walnuts, oats, garlic, ginger, onion, and jalapeños and pulse a few times, until the walnuts and onions are evenly chopped, 5 to 10 seconds. Add the beans, cilantro, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, pepper, and flax seed and process in 5-second intervals, until most of the beans break down. Do not puree—there should still be some whole beans for texture.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Cover the bowl and chill for 15 minutes. If the mixture is too wet, add the breadcrumbs and stir to combine.
  • Divide the mixture into 7 to 8 equal portions. Shape into tightly packed patties. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (add oil if desired). Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Alternatively, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the patties on a medium baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the burgers for 15 minutes, flip, and bake another 10 minutes, or until the burgers are golden.

Notes

Her recipe in the book states that it yields 7-8 patties, but I was only able to get 4 using regular size patties to fit a normal size bun, which was just enough for my husband, daughter and I. I would double the recipe if you have more than 3-4 people.

    I made this recipe and the first time I really tasted the ginger. I think my processor was too small for a double batch. I tried the ground ginger in the squeeze bottle this time and it was much better. I also did little rectangles so I could make lettuce warps. This is definitely going in my favorites list.

    I just made these and oh my, it was wonderfully delicious. Not at all dry, with great flavors and texture. I did not have to add any breadcrumbs, the mixture was perfect without that. I didn’t add the fresh ginger because I didn’t have any, so I upped the cumin a little. I just made a half portion, which gave me 2 patties, because I had half a tin of black beans to use up. Delectable! I will definitely make these again.

    It tasted like cardboard. The super dry bean patty was made edible with loads of condiments and pickled onions. I will not make this recipe again.

      Sorry you didn’t like them. This is not my recipe but from Vegan Richas cookbook noted in the post. Perhaps try these instead? This is linked to my black bean burgers and have all 5 star reviews, so give them a try if you can get the correct ingredients. https://thevegan8.com/fat-free-baked-mexican-black-bean-burgers/

      I’ve never frozen them, so I’m not sure, but I would think they’d be fine.

    These are our new favs, they are so easy and so yummy. I double the recipe because one batch only makes about 4 good sized burgers.

    Does anyone know or believe that any leftover patties would keep well for a few days? Maybe wrapped in saran wrap?

      Yes, extras are fine wrapped in the fridge.

    I have been leaning towards going vegan and would love a rich source of inspiration to cook from plus, the pictures look amazing in this! I have been weening us off of carbs, meats, etc. for a bit now, this would help seal the deal per se. I LOVE black bean burgers and make them regularly, always looking for different ways 🙂
