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 these black bean burgers today and the flavor is beyond amazing. They are so so good. But I did not make them into burgers I made them into meatballs or no meatballs I guess I should say. I think they will be fabulous in wraps, with spaghetti , Or even on a salad.

    This cookbook has been on my Amazon wishlist since I read it was coming out. I love Vegan Richa recipes via her blog but prefer to cook from a cookbook.

    I’ve been eating vegan, oil free for 6 months and just got my daughters family started on vegan eating. She found your web site through Pinterest. We share recipes and I’d love to have this fabulous cook book for us to share.
    Thank you for the great recipes, tomorrow I’m making your chaser dressing and picking up the two ingredients I need for these black bean burgers. They look really good.

    I love your recipes. They are easy to follow and to make. I am also a Richa Hingle fan. I have her first book as I love Indian food. It would be great to also have her second book. It has excellent reviews.

    Even though I’m not vegan, my diet has actually shifted in that direction and continues to. I see many benefits of the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle!

    I am not a vegan yet but I have been incorporating more and more plant based meals into my diet and slowly eliminating animal products. I am loving the changes so far and I never feel deprived. I would love to check out this cookbook so I can get some ideas for meals for my family.

    Hmmm, thought I posted a comment the other day but I probably forgot to hit the submit button! LOL

    Received the recipe via email, clicked on the said email and the first thought when I looked at the picture of this black bean burger was Wow, that really looks like a ‘beef’ burger!!

    Kuddos to Richa and thank you Brandi for posted this recipe from her newest book. You both have an extraordinary talent of creating some wonderfully tasty vegan dishes!

    I have a couple of vegan blogs I check in on every week or so – this one, hot for food, and Vegan Richa! I would be excited to win her new book and cannot wait for yours to come out. Vegan bloggers have made my transition into diet change WAAAAY easier and won over my meat-and-potatoes significant other. Now he gets disappointed when I just want to be lazy order in!

    I’ve been subscribed to Vegan Richa’s blog for some time and her recipes always look incredibly delicious. Her cookbook is probably filled with absolutely scrumptious recipes! And while it’s nice to follow recipes online, there’s nothing like having a real cookbook! That’s why I would love to win Vegan Richa’s Everyday Kitchen cookbook!

    Well save a bite of photo for me!! You nailed the drool worthy drip of sauce side shot because even knowing there’s jalapeño in there I still want it😍 What you meant to say was “but for little kids (AND NATALIE), I would scale back on the jalapenos” lol. Richa’s blog is amazing and I am sure this beautiful book is too. She does super spicy all the way to sweet so well. I mean those brownies with all their crackly topped goodness❤️ Also walnuts in a burger, okay that’s just plain cool. Beautifully done, and isn’t it fun sometimes to not have to come up with the recipe and just get to focus on pretty pics and the eating? I always enjoy that!
