Food Friday: Black Bean and Corn Burgers

Here are some burgers I made today.  They are not bad at all.  They hold together, unlike other vegan burgers I have made  before.


Black Bean and Corn Burgers

2 cups cooked black beans
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, blended into flour in a blender
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt

Place all the ingredients into a food processor bowl and process until mostly smooth.  Usually directions call for blending only a little.  That makes the burgers fall apart.  Process until smooth!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 

Lightly grease a Silpat sheet on a cookie sheet.

Using a portion scoop,  divide burgers into 6 piles on the Silpat sheet.  With dampened fingers, pat down a little bit.  Using a spray bottle of olive oil, spray a little bit on top of each burger.

Bake for 45 minutes.

These were patted out to about 3 inches or so wide.

These are pretty good, as I said before!  I have not run them by Dear One yet, since he had already helped himself to other food while I was reading.  I will make some hamburger buns tomorrow and serve them for lunch. I think they will go over well.
