Steps

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mash black beans with a fork or potato masher until chunky but not completely smooth.

  2. 2

    In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the sautéed vegetables to the mashed black beans. Stir in rolled oats, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until combined.

  4. 4

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties about 3/4-inch thick.

  5. 5

    Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5-7 minutes per side, until browned and heated through. Alternatively, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately on burger buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, or a dairy-free cheese slice.
