How to Make From Scratch Veggie Burger:
- In a food processor, blend cooked black beans, oats, diced onions, garlic, carrots, and spices until well combined but still slightly chunky.
- Shape the mixture into patties and refrigerate them for 20-30 minutes to help them firm up.
- Cook the patties in a pan over medium heat, until golden and crispy on each side.
- Serve on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, and avocado!
When to Flip Veggie Burger:
Flip the patties after about 5-6 minutes, once the bottom has turned a deep golden brown and the patty has firmed up.
How to Reheat Veggie Burger:
Reheat leftover veggie patties in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
Can You Save Batter Veggie Burger?
Yes! You can store the uncooked patties in the fridge for up to 2 days, tightly covered.
Can You Freeze Veggie Burger?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked patties. Stack them between pieces of parchment paper and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before cooking.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups cooked black beans

Editor’s Note:
If you want to make the patties firmer, you can add a tablespoon of flour or breadcrumbs to the mixture before forming the patties. This will help them hold together better during cooking.
