And I’ve tried a lot of vegan burgers in the past few years. Seriously, a lot! I LOVE LOVE LOVE veggie burgers; they are one of my go-to weekend treats. I’ve spent the last few months searching for the perfect bean burger, trying different veggies, spices and herbs, making little tweaks here and there. Finally, I got it just right. After a lot of testing, I’m proud to present the most AMAZING BEAN BURGER. And it’s AWESOME. This is not a quick recipe, but these burgers are so worth the effort. I know a lot of people are disappointed when they come across a long list of ingredients, but that’s actually not a bad thing. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Plant diversity is so good for your gut microbiome! Increasing the variety of plant-based foods is one of the best things you can do for your digestion. And your health! Also, these burgers might have more than 10 ingredients, but most of them are spices or sauces, and they are REALLY EASY to make. Best of all, they are so tasty. These bean burgers are CRISPY on the outside, TENDER, MOIST and DELICIOUS on the inside. And they are packed with nourishing foods! Think beans, rice, nuts, veggies, herbs and spices. Such a wonderful wholesome combo. They are high in plant-based protein, high in fiber and so hearty and flavorful. Hope you give these a try! I promise they’ll make your Friday night a thousand times better.

Drain and allow to cool down. - While the rice is cooking, place the walnuts in a baking sheet (no oil) and bake in the oven for 10 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Allow to cool down. - Meanwhile, heat olive oil (or water if you are not using oil) in a medium pan and sauté onions and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes. - Add grated carrots. Sauté for another 3 minutes. Add chili flakes, paprika and ground coriander and keep stirring for another minute. Turn off the heat and allow to cool down. - Transfer toasted walnuts to a food processor. Add oats and blend into coarse flour. - Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor, including the cooked rice and the sauteed vegs. Blend until well combined, you might need to stop a few times to scrape down the sides. But be careful not to overmix, we want to have some texture. - Divide the mixture into 5-6 balls and form the patties using your hands. Wet your hands if it gets too sticky. - Grease a baking sheet with a little olive oil. Place the burgers on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, flip them, and bake for another 15 – 20 minutes, until they are nice and golden. - Assemble the burger and enjoy! ### Notes *Aquafaba is the liquid (or brine) inside a can of chickpeas. It’s a wonderful egg substitute. You can use the liquid from the can of beans, but it doesn’t work quite as well as the liquid from a can of chickpeas. I prefer using aquafaba, it makes a crispier burger; but a flax egg will also work. To make a flax egg mix 1 Tbsp of ground flaxseeds with 3 Tbsp of water and set aside for 5 minutes. ### Search ### Recent Post - [Single-Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/12/04/single-serve-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie/) - [Herbed Quinoa Pea Salad](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/10/21/herbed-quinoa-pea-salad/) - [Greek-Inspired Potato Stew](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/30/greek-inspired-potato-stew/) - [No Churn Vegan Chocolate Almond Ice Cream](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/23/no-churn-vegan-chocolate-almond-ice-cream/) - [Apple Pecan Cookies](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/08/18/apple-pecan-cookies/) ### Archives Archives Select Month December 2025 October 2025 September 2025 August 2025 June 2025 April 2025 October 2024 September 2024 August 2024 July 2024 June 2024 May 2024 April 2024 March 2024 December 2023 November 2023 October 2023 September 2023 August 2023 July 2023 June 2023 May 2023 April 2023 March 2023 February 2023 January 2023 December 2022 November 2022 October 2022 September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 June 2022 May 2022 April 2022 March 2022 February 2022 January 2022 December 2021 November 2021 October 2021 September 2021 August 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 April 2021 March 2021 February 2021 January 2021 December 2020 November 2020 October 2020 September 2020 August 2020 June 2020 May 2020 April 2020 January 2017 ### Leave a Reply [Cancel reply](/2021/05/07/amazing-bean-burgers/#respond) You must be [logged in](https://mondaydreams.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmondaydreams.com%2F2021%2F05%2F07%2Famazing-bean-burgers%2F) to post a comment.
