SO HOW'D IT GO?
Whoa! These burgers are off the chain. I'm so stoked that I found the recipie!!! They would be so good topped with lettuce, tomato, and roasted red peppers. Amazing job! :)
these are amazing! i like to eat the patty with tomatoes and avocado.
These are soooo good. I polished off the whole batch by myself within a couple of days, then made more! I subbed some pepper and hot sauce for the jalapeno peppers, a splash of soy sauce for the salt, left out the cilantro (blech!), and added 1/3 c of sunflower seeds. Also didn't have any corn meal so I dipped them in just ww flour which worked great.
I tried the recipe with white kidney beans too and it wasn't quite as yummy. Next time I'll have to try baking them as other people have suggested.
Chelsea,
Made these today . The best blackbean burger so far . Only change I made was add some minced green bell pepper.
Great !!

Well I guess like so many others... I followed this but didn't REALLY follow it, so I don't know if I should review it. But it was the idea of the oats I found appealing and possibly novel, so I have to give this recipe a thumbs up.
I used one can of beans, 1/2 c of oats, 1 t. cumin, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1 T + 1 t blueberry applesauce... I had already mashed the beans etc when I discovered the jar of applesauce I had in my fridge was moldy! I made this into 4 patties and baked at 350 for 10 minutes, on a greased sheet in the toaster oven. I thought they were quite yummy and will make them again, but I will use less garlic, and I will be sure of my applesauce situation before I commence.
I have no doubts that this recipe would be awesome just as written. I find the dredging in cornmeal part a little odd, though, but I guess it makes it easier when you pan-fry.
I have a fear of pan-frying. I always burn things.
tried making these last night as a last minute dinner. i cut the recipe by 1/3 since i'm the only person who likes beans in my house. i also didn't have enough cash to buy fresh herbs, so i substituted two teaspoons of dried italian seasoning (oregano, basil, and something else). i also added some liquid smoke and nutritional yeast to the mix to give it a twist. i only cooked one patty from the batch at that time and had to increase the cooking time to a little over 20 minutes to get it dry enough to work with. overall, this was a super easy and great tasting recipe.
Very good! I added a little more cilantro (just because I love it) And I topped the burger off with lettuce and some tofutti better than sour cream mixed with a salsa and a little hot sauce. Excellent! I did cut this recipe down to 1/3. I still had enough to make 4 burgers, perfect for 2 people.
I second LettuceConverse's question... can anyone offer details on baking these?
if i was going to bake them how long would you suggest and at what temperature?
These were AMAZING! I've been looking for a home cooked substitute to the black bean burger they serve at one of my fave restaurants and this one not only fit the bill, but was even BETTER!
I tossed some BBQ sauce in a couple and that turned out well, but my REAL find was crumbling one up and using it as a pizza topping with spinach and nutritional yeast! (Next time I'll add avocado!)
I've also been having the plain patty with breakfast along with scrambled tofu or breakfast potatoes.
Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe!
