Chickpea veggie burgers

(Burgers before the oven)

 If you are wanting to create a thick meaty veggie burger full of whole food ingredients then this is the burger you need to recreate. This by far is the best bean burger recipe I have created!

Ingredients:

8 cups of cooked chickpeas or 4 16 oz cans

1 pack of mushrooms
1/2 of bell pepper

1 cup of carrots

2 cups of spinach (optional)

1 onion

1 cup of flour

2 flax eggs (2tbsp of flax mill mixed with 2 tbsp. of water set aside for a few minutes to thicken to egg like consistency)

Salt and pepper

garlic

coriander
gourmet burger seasoning

Directions:

1. Place dried off beans in a high speed blender and pulse until they become shredded but not mashed, then scoop into large mixing bowl.

2. Put mushrooms, carrots, onion, bell pepper and spinach into blender and pulse until its all shredded

3. Put shredded veggies into bowl with chickpeas

4. Put flax eggs, flour, salt, pepper, garlic, burger seasoning, and coriander into bowl with chickpeas and veggies.

5. Wash hands thoroughly and hand mix all the ingredients in the bowl together until you can form patties. If its too wet add more flour, if its too dry add another flax egg. The first picture shows what they should look like.

6. Place patties on a lined baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes on each side.

7. Allow patties to cool for about 15 minutes because this is what helps them firm up and keep their shape.

8. Serve and enjoy!

 These burgers are satisfying on bread, in a tortilla, or on a lettuce wrap. They go great with fries pictured are my baked fat free potato wedges that I will show you guys how to create in a upcoming recipe. You can also add black beans or lentils to the mix to be more creative. These burgers are also low in fat so they are a great option when you are craving a guilt free burger and fries!
