To make the patties, pulse two cans of black beans with oats, garlic, soy sauce, and chili powder. Stir in some scallions, shape into patties, and voila—dinner! Seriously simple, right? If you're gluten-free, swap tamari for the soy sauce, and double check that your rolled oats are certified gluten-free. Shape these simple black bean burgers into patties and freeze to get ahead on meal prep for the week; just make sure to defrost before cooking.

Ingredients

  • 2 (15-oz) cans black beans, drained and rinsed

  • ¾ cup uncooked old-fashioned regular rolled oats

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 4 hamburger buns

  • 1 cup salsa

  • Lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices

Directions

  1. Process beans, oats, garlic, soy sauce, and chili powder in a food processor until ingredients begin to come together, about 30 seconds.

  2. Transfer bean mixture to a large bowl and stir in scallions.

  3. Shape mixture into 4 (¾-cup) patties, and then let them stand at room temperature 5 minutes or refrigerate up to 3 hours.

  4. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Cook patties in hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes per side.

  5. Place 1 patty on each hamburger bun bottom, and top each with ¼ cup salsa. Add lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion slices, and cover with bun tops.
