Notes
- Excess liquid in the black bean mixture can make the vegan burgers mushy, so pat your drained black beans and cooked veggies well before your process them.
- Do not overprocess the ingredients! You are not aiming to turn the mixture into a smooth puree. There should still be some texture left, so the vegan burger patties that won't break apart easily.
- Keep your vegan black bean burgers with oats from falling apart by chilling them in the fridge 30 minutes before cooking! This is especially helpful if you plan on grilling them up.
