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.
