These are the BEST damn vegan burgers you will ever have! They're made up of black beans, sautéd mushrooms and onions, and the perfect amount of spices. I made these for a small gathering at our place and they were such a hit (omnis and vegans loved it!). These burgers are perfect for the summer..not to mention healthy (gluten & oil free). I even share the best tips for grilling these patties in my recipe!

Preheat the oven to 350º and line a baking sheet with TWO pieces or parchment paper
Combine 1/4 cup water & 2 tbsp of flax meal - mix well and set aside (this is our flax egg).
Transfer the black beans into a bowl and mash them completely using a potato masher or fork - set aside
In a sauté pan, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté until onions have slightly browned and mushrooms are fully cooked through.
Add walnuts to the food processor and pulse until the walnuts are thoroughly chopped - NOT into a fine powder.
To the food processor, add the brown rice, sautéed mushrooms/onions, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin powder. Set to high until there are no big pieces remaining - it doesn’t have to be completely smooth. Transfer to a big mixing bowl.
To the mushroom onion mixture, add the smashed beans, salt, and flax egg - mix well to combine.
Start adding a little bit of bread crumbs at a time and mix - do this until all the bread crumbs are incorporated into the mixture.
Take 1/2 cup of the mixture, roll into a ball, and shape into a burger patty. Place on baking sheet
Bake in the oven at 350 for 20 mins, flip them over and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Assemble the burgers using all the fixings of your choice
