Black Bean Burgers

Alright today is the day I share one of my absolute favorite vegan recipes with you.  My black bean burger recipe would make a die hard burger fan consider giving up meat - at least for a moment!  I've tried so many recipes and this is the best one I have ever tried.   These black bean burgers stay moist and can be frozen and the best part - the secret ingredient, sweet potatoes!

They are so yummy so without further ado here is the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 3 cups Black Beans (cooked & drained)
• 1 cup Sunflower Seeds
• 1 cup Cooked Quinoa (I like the red quinoa in this recipe the best but you can use any)
• 1 cup Quick Oats
• 2 t Red Wine Vinegar
• 2 T Braggs Amino Acids
• 2 T Water
• 1 t Cumin
• 2 t Chili Powder
• 1 cup Red Onion (minced)
• 1 cup Sweet Potatoes (grated)

Directions:

• Smash your black beans!  The more smashed the better the burger will stick together
• Mix in the rest of the ingredients 
• Add in a little extra water if the consistency seems to dry
• Shape into burger and grill on the stove top with a little coconut oil for about 3 minutes on each side.
  

 I also use this mixture for wraps and for taco "meat" and it is delicious in all of them!

This recipe will make about 10 cups worth of "meat"  I freeze it into meal size quantities so I can grab and go for a meal that day.  I usually get 4 meals out of one recipe.  It is great to have on hand when company comes over unexpectedly.  The black bean recipe also calls for a lot of ingredients and I find it isn't worth the time and mess in my kitchen if I don't make it in big quantities.  When I make this recipe I actually make 4 x the recipe so I have enough to last me at least 3 months (depending on how many times I have company over!)

Hope you enjoy let me know what you think of my yummy recipe!
