Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 Tomato, sliced
• 0 Optional toppings (e.g., mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you prefer to bake the patties or prepare a skillet for frying later.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the raw almonds until they are finely chopped but not a powder. Transfer to a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the rolled oats to the food processor and pulse a few times until slightly broken down. Add to the mixing bowl with the almonds.

Step 4

Next, add the chickpeas, garlic, red onion, parsley, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky, not a paste.

Step 5

Transfer the chickpea mixture to the mixing bowl with the almonds and oats. Add the olive oil, egg, and breadcrumbs, and mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 6

Using clean hands, form the mixture into 4 evenly-sized round patties. Make sure they are packed tightly so they hold their shape.

Step 7

If baking, place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. If frying, heat a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of olive oil and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.

Step 8

Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by an almond burger patty, slices of tomato, and your favorite toppings.

Step 10

Place the top half of the bun on and serve immediately. Enjoy your wholesome almond burger!
