Ingredients

• 1 15-ounce can canned black beans
• 1 15-ounce can chickpeas
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup walnuts
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 burger buns
• 4 leaves lettuce leaves
• 4 slices tomato slices
• 0 optional condiments (e.g., mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the black beans and chickpeas thoroughly. Pat dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Place the walnuts in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped, resembling coarse crumbs. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Add the black beans, chickpeas, onion, garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still textured (not entirely smooth).

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the breadcrumbs, rolled oats, and chopped walnuts until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Add the egg to the mixture and mix thoroughly with a spoon or your hands until everything sticks together. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs; if it's too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patty forms, roughly 3/4-inch thick.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil to coat the surface.

Step 8

Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Step 9

Toast the burger buns if desired. Place the cooked patties onto the buns and top with lettuce, tomato slices, and your favorite condiments.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Nutty Bean Burgers!
