½ cup cooked quinoa (or brown rice)
½ cup finely chopped mushrooms
¼ cup oat flour (or ground oats)
¼ cup chopped walnuts
2 tbsp ground flaxseeds + 5 tbsp water (flax egg)
2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Toppings for Assembly:

4 whole-grain or gluten-free burger buns
1 ripe avocado, mashed
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tomato, sliced
½ cup shredded lettuce or spinach
¼ cup vegan mayo (or hummus)
2 tbsp whole-grain mustard
Pickles (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

One: Prepare the Flax Egg: Mix the ground flaxseeds with water and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Two: Make the Burger Mixture: Mash the black beans in a large bowl, leaving some texture. Add the quinoa, mushrooms, walnuts, oat flour, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, sea salt, and chili flakes. Stir in the flax egg and mix well.

Three: Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Let them rest in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.

Four: Cook the Patties: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Five: Assemble the Burgers: Toast the burger buns if desired. Spread the vegan mayo and mustard on the bottom bun, followed by the shredded lettuce or spinach. Add the burger patty, mashed avocado, tomato slices, red onion, and pickles (optional). Top with the top bun and press gently.

Six: Serve & Enjoy! Pair the burgers with sweet potato fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
