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.

Nutrition
These nutritional figures should be considered estimates. Varying factors such as product types or brands purchased, natural fluctuations in fresh produce, and the way ingredients are processed change the effective nutritional information in any given recipe.
Try our gluten-free free vidalia onion rings as the perfect side.
Avoid mushy black bean patties: By partially drying out the black beans. Spread out the black beans onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes. This prevents the black bean burgers from tasting like mush and becoming a mushy burger.
Meal Prepping: You can also make the burgers ahead of time and freeze, reheating directly from frozen in the skillet.
Freezing Instructions: Cooked or uncooked black bean burgers freeze for up to 3 to 4 months. Stack between parchment paper in a freezer ziplock bag.
Can bake to prepare: Place patties on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (191°C) for 10 minutes on each side, 20 minutes total.

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