5-ingredient vegan black eye bean burgers

8th April 2018 By Leyla Preston Leave a Comment

Summer is on its way (just a few months now) and I want to enjoy some burgers on a grill.  However, I aim to indefinitely follow a plant-based lifestyle, which I’m currently enjoying because I feel so much healthier and stronger than I did in 2017. So, I’ve decided to change up my burger recipe to a bean burger, which, surprisingly, was really easy to make.

I won’t stop my family from eating beef burgers, but I can at least encourage them to open their palates and try other versions, like my awesome Black Eye Bean Burger, which, I have to say, is delicious!

You can try this recipe with any kind of beans, including chickpeas. Plus, if you add a tablespoon of tahini to the mix, you’ve got yourself a real protein burger too. I decided to go for Black Eyed Beans in this recipe because they’re my favourite kind of bean and I know that they pack a bit of protein themselves.

Here are the ingredients:

When I first made this recipe, it came out way too salty, so I reduced the salt and the vegetable powder (which was quite salty in itself) and I found a happy medium.

I also think that this recipe would benefit with a bit of tahini to moisten up the mixture as the bean burgers can come out slightly on the dry side (although they are still delicious as they are). 

So, let’s get on with the recipe so you can try for yourself. The boys loved this plant-based burger (and they’re a tough crowd!) So, I know you will too.

A great high fibre plant based version of the beef burger, but without the cholesterol and the fat added in!

I really loved making this recipe because it was so simple and cheap to make. I’ve since made these burgers with Red Kidney Beans and they literally looked and tasted exactly the same. Next time, I’m going to make potato burgers, so watch this space!
