Vegan Burger High Protein Great Flavor Wellplated Com

Lightly crisp outside, tender (not mushy!) inside, and boasting an intense savoriness that you wouldn’t expect in a vegetarian burger recipe, these are hands-down not only the best vegan burgers—they are one of the best burgers, period—I have ever tasted. Made with “super food” ingredients like black beans, almonds, flaxseeds, and more, these patties of smoky satisfaction come together in a single bowl, pack a whopping 12 grams of protein per burger, and won rave reviews from a table of carnivores. Vegan burgers are quite the hot item on the market right now, with fast food chains even starting to offer them. The problem with most vegan burgers you buy versus make from scratch (and why vegan burgers can be bad) is that they are highly processed. This homemade vegan burger recipe? It is nothing but the good stuff. These vegan black bean burgers will leave you feeling full, happy, and looking forward to leftovers. In addition to the veggie burger in my cookbook, they are my favorite plant-based burger recipe.

How to Make The Best Vegan Burger

Although I’m a long-time fan of well-made veggie burgers for their simple ingredients and health benefits (see this Portobello Mushroom Burger and my crowd-favorite Mediterranean Quinoa Burger with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Feta), I have do have one major, er, beef with standard veggie burger recipes: most don’t contain enough tummy-satisfying protein to keep me full for more than an hour or so. Not so with these high protein vegan burgers! Thanks to protein-rich, and high-fiber ingredients, they can sustain you for hours. Let’s recap what makes this power-packed vegan burger recipe so super.

The Ingredients

Black Beans. An excellent source of fiber, protein, and minerals.Ground Flaxseed Meal. Rich in immune and brain-boosting omega-3s, antioxidants, and fiber.Almonds + Pepitas. Nuts and seeds are a creative vegan burger idea that you’ll come back to again and again. They add the umami that is often missing from other meatless burger recipes.

Rolled Oats. More fiber! These vegan burgers are here to keep you full.Red Pepper + Red Onion. For a pop of color, added nutrition benefits, texture, and slight sweetness. Hemp Seed Hearts. Just three tablespoons contain a whopping 10 grams of complete protein. Hemp seeds are also low carb, making them a good choice for those following a paleo diet or who need to be carb conscious. Hello, SUPER FOOD.

Spices. Smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder give these burgers a smokiness you’d typically only expect from the grill. No bland burgers for us!Avocado. My #1 vegan burger topping of choice. It provides the richness and creaminess that you’d typically get from cheese, while keeping the burgers dairy free.
