These burgers are a crowd pleaser and come together very quickly. Sometimes I make appetizer sized mini burgers, if I go to a gathering or an event.

 

Serves 6 – 8

Ingredients

2  15-oz can black beans, no salt added, drained and rinsed

½ cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen, thawed (sweet or fire roasted)

½ cup of rolled oats

1 tsp. ground cumin

½ tsp. smoked paprika

½ tsp. hot sauce (optional)

½ tsp. granulated garlic powder

½ tsp. granulated onion powder

1 Tbsp. mustard (your choice)

2 Tbsps. salsa (your choice)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 F

• Mash beans in a large bowl, using a potato masher, back of a spoon or your hands. I like to have a little coarser texture.
• Add remaining ingredients. Make sure spices and cilantro are well incorporated. Adjust seasonings to taste.
• Form 6 to 8 patties. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 5-7 minutes, than flip over and bake for another 5-7 minutes.

 

Notes

Saute these burgers in a dry non-stick pan, if you want a light crust.
