Protein Black Bean Burgers

Black bean burgers are a common plant based hamburger option, with a good amount of protein, fiber, and complex carbs. However; beans are significantly lower in protein than meat, and it isn't a complete protein. To solve this problem, I'm adding some unflavored protein powder into the burger mix to closer mimic the nutritional information of a standard beef patty while keeping it vegan.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Drain and rinse your beans, and add to a large bowl. Roughly mash with a potato masher or the back of a fork

Step 2

Cut your onion into a fine dice, and add to the bowl

Step 3

Mix in the tomato paste, minced garlic, mustard, soy sauce, and spices (chili powder, paprika, cumin, pepper, and salt)

Step 4

Add in the protein powder and nutritional yeast. Mix, and add in just enough water until you have a sticky "dough" that you can mold and shape with your hands

Step 5

Add 6 dough balls to your pan, about 130 g each. Lightly wet your hands, and shape into patties. Wearing kitchen gloves helps to prevent sticking

Step 6

Bake at 400F for 20 minutes. You can also air fry at 400F for about 10 minutes, or grill for about 10 minutes. The burgers should be firm to the touch and lightly browned
