    Being vegan and gluten-free can bring about a lot of odd challenges. One is finding vegan and gluten-free black bean burgers. Yes, there are tons of black bean and plant based patties in the frozen food aisle of the grocery store. However, a lot of them have some from of wheat in them as a binder, preserve or filler. And prepackaged products are always more expensive; definitely a time saver, but more costly.

    Oddly enough before being both plant-based and gluten-free. One of our go-to weekend dinners was black bean burgers on a onion roll with a giant dollop of hummus and roasted red peppers.

    The first step in re-creating that easy quick weeknight meal. This gluten-free patty has great flavor, texture and super cheap.


    Why You'll Love These

    • These are easy to make, healthy, hearty and satisfying burger alternative.
    • These keep well and are great to make ahead for meal prepping and batch cooking.

    These Homemade Black Bean Burgers Are:

    • Easy
    • Packed with protein
    • Satisfying
    • Cheap to make
    • Great for meal prepping
    • Freezable

    Ingredients

    • Canned Black beans, drained and rinsed
    • Spinach, finely chopped
    • Rolled Oats
    • Ground Flaxseed
    • Nutritional Yeast
    • Spices - Dry Sage, Coconut Aminos, Garlic & Cumin
    • Lime

    Step By Step Instructions

    Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees. 

    Step 2: Rinse spinach and bell pepper. Chop vegetables and set aside.

    Step 3: In a large bowl, mash the black beans until mushy but not smooth.

    Step 4: Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. 

    Step 4: Form into 6 patties about 1 inch thick and set aside. 

    Step 5: Carefully grease the air fryer basket, then add the patties in a single layer, keeping them at least 1 inch apart from each other. You may have to do this in batches. 

    Step 6: Air fry for 5 minutes, then flip and air fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through and cooked to your liking. 

    Step 7: Serve!

    STORAGE & REHEATING

    • How To Bake. Place patties on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (191°C) for 10 minutes on each side, 20 minutes total. 
    • To Store. Store leftover in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
    • To Freeze. Cooked or uncooked black bean burgers freeze for up to 3 to 4 months. Stack between parchment paper in a freezer ziplock bag.
    • Prepare In Advance. These keep well and are great to make ahead for meal prepping and batch cooking. You can also make the burgers ahead of time and freeze, reheating directly from frozen in the skillet.

      I couldn't find any gluten free burger buns in my store, but this was fine with a salad too!
