Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
  • 1 (15-ounce) can spicy black beans
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
  1. Stir together the ground flax seeds and 2 ½ tablespoons of water in a small bowl and set it aside to thicken.
  2. Drain the black beans over a bowl to reserve the liquid.
  3. Add the drained black beans to a food processor and pulse a few times to break them down.
  4. Add the oats and pulse a few times to incorporate them.
  5. Add the thickened flax egg, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the reserved bean liquid to the food processor, and pulse a few times to get a chunky mixture.
  6. Transfer to a bowl and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so the oats can absorb the liquid.
  7. Shape the mixture into 2 patties about ¾ inch thick, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  8. Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  9. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side.
  10. Flip with a spatula and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the second side, until firm and charred.
  11. Serve in a bun with your condiments of choice or serve over greens.
