Trust us: They’re delicious! The next time you find yourself craving a burger, give these drool worthy black bean burgers a shot.
Meat-Free, Vegetarian-Friendly, and Plant-Based
As the vegetarian lifestyle continues to grow in popularity, so does our collection of meat-free recipes! While this particular recipe is not 100% vegan, you can make it that way with a few simple swaps.
We use two non-plant-based ingredients in this recipe: shredded Mexican cheese and mayonnaise. Luckily, another great thing about the growing popularity of the plant-based lifestyle is the availability of vegan-friendly products in most grocery stores. Using vegan Mexican shredded cheese and vegan mayonnaise in this recipe will make it a totally plant-based meal!
Burger Patties Made with Nutritious Ingredients
Our black bean burgers with spicy chipotle aioli are made with ultra nutrient dense ingredients that also offer a wide range of yummy flavor. The bulk of the patties are made up of black beans, oats, flax seeds, and zucchini. These ingredients also contribute the most nutritional value.
Black beans are rich in fiber and are an excellent source of plant-based protein. Oats add to the fiber content of these burgers, and also lower cholesterol and boost heart health. Next, flax seeds add more heart-healthy fiber while also promoting digestive health. And, lastly, zucchini is a great source of vitamin C, which is vital in the body’s healing process, and vitamin B6, which also contributes to a healthy body and mind.
Our Burgers Offer Delicious Tastes and Textures
The four main ingredients in our black bean burger patties create a wonderful earthy flavor, but they also provide a hearty, meat-like texture. The fiber content alone will leave you feeling full and satisfied.
The real flavor comes from the blend of spices. This mixture contains chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and salt. These spices give the black bean burgers their savory and spicy kick!
