Instructions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are tender, 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the cumin, chili powder, coriander, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Add the beans and tomato paste and stir to blend.

Step 5

Place the oats in a food processor, add the black bean mixture, and pulse until everything is combined; the mixture should still have some texture, but be quite nicely blended.

Step 6

Remove the processor blade and stir in the corn with a spoon.

Step 7

Shape the mixture into 4 large or 6 smaller patties.

Step 8

Place them on a plate and chill for about 30 minutes, if you have time.

Step 9

If you don't, don't—they'll just be a bit more delicate to flip.

Step 10

Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 11

Add the patties and cook without moving them until well browned on the bottoms, about 5 minutes, then flip them carefully and cook on the second side until nicely browned, 5 minutes more.
