I don’t know about y’all, but we go through some serious veggie burgers over here.
Adam will pretty much eat anything with avocado on it and has been doing an awesome job lately at replacing old fashioned hamburgers with their veggie-ful cousins. I probably eat less veggie burgers on a weekly basis than he does, but still enjoy them for a quick lunch after yoga or an easy dinner when I can’t get myself to wash one more dish.
However, buying boxes of veggie burgers adds up! My two favorites, Amy’s California Burgers and Sunshine Burgers both run for about $5 a box and are an easy way to rack up my already-too-high grocery bill.
I’d rather get a pedicure.
So…what’s a girl to do? Why, make her own, of course!
And not even 30 minutes later, I had my burgers frying and Adam on his way over from work after I promised him “a delicious homemade lunch”.
I was really trying to butter him up before I told him that I crashed my car into a garbage can earlier that morning and shattered my side mirror!
Oops!
Lesson 1: Your grandma was right; the way to a man’s heart really is through his stomach.
Because of that, I also threw together a batch of Angela’s cookie dough balls. These cookies are pretty much Adam’s favorite thing in life.
I dressed our burgers with thick avocado slices, ketchup and sriracha sauce and placed them on top of some fluffy whole wheat buns that I had heated up in the oven…
“Mmmm mmmm mm This is the best veggie burger that I’ve ever tasted!” Adam exclaimed while biting into a particularly large slice of strategically placed avocado.
“Thanks, they’re just something I quickly whipped up. I knew you had a busy day at work!” I said.
“I could seriously eat this burger every single day. It’s perfect.”
“No problem. Glad to feed you. By the way, I had a little issue with my car this morning; I was hoping you could give it a glance? I also made a batch of those cookie dough balls you like so that you could have a snack later at work!”
Turns out, what I thought was $500 of damage was really only $19.99.
The End.
Boyfriend-Approved Spicy Black Bean Burgers
makes about 6 boyfriend-sized burgers
Ingredients:
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 T ground flax + 3 T water
1 jalapeno
2 cloves garlic
2 T tomato sauce
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 tsp cumin
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup corn (fresh or frozen and defrosted)
avocado for topping
olive oil (or canola oil) for frying burgers
Directions:
Seed and roughly chop jalapeno. Add it and the garlic cloves to a food processor (or high speed blender) and mince finely. (Alternatively, you could chop them yourselves very finely but it’s just easier at this point to throw them in a food processor.)
Add one can of beans to the jalapeno/garlic mixture and pulse to combine. Add cumin and salt and pulse until mixture resembles chunky black bean dip.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground flax and water. Let sit for five minutes.
Transfer the mixture in the food processor to a large bowl and stir in the bread crumbs, tomato sauce, flax and corn. Stir well until everything is combined. Add remaining black beans.
Heat a little olive oil in a skillet on medium high heat. Form black bean mixture into patties and fry for about 4 minutes per side, until golden and crusty brown.
Serve burgers with avocado slices, sriracha and ketchup.
Time:
30 minutes

I refuse to buy the pre-made veggie burgers because they’re too easy to make at home…ok and cheaper! I’d rather spend large amounts of my grocery money on almond butter, produce, and nuts (for cookie dough balls!).
And guys will eat anything as long as you top it with avocado, that’s for sure!
There’s an extra bonus in here that these are “boyfriend approved” – I’ve FINALLY managed to get my boyfriend on the veggie burger train but only store-bought! I’m definitely going to give these a whirl for him. They look insane!
PS – I love that fork!
Well I’m glad the car damage wasn’t too bad! And I love how you totally “hid” the car comment in between dinner and cookie dough balls. That is hilarious.
My husband has recently fallen in love with bean burgers and LOVES sriracha, so I’ll probably be making this very soon.
P.S. I totally love on your blackboard next to avocado, you wrote yummy.
Yeah, Jenna! These look rocking!
I learned recently how easy veggie burgers are to make! I actually like them better than store bought. Those also look simple to make and delicious
Love everything about these. I have a recipe that I haven’t tried yet but these have lots fewer ingredients, will try soon!
Excellent looking veggie burgers — will be trying this out for sure!! Thanks a bunch!!
These look awesome. I agree on the veggie burger thing – they can be a bit pricey. I do love the Masala Burgers at TJ’s, but they don’t have the meatiness that beans do. My hubby and I are going meatless this week and this will be perfect to eat on a night we usually grill! Thanks for the recipe!
This is amazing! my dad will NOT eat black beans, well maybe he will try these
haha I love the corn addition, nice pop of colour and flavour!!
Okay that story is hilarious – that is totally someting I would do to my husband!
After that meal, I think Adam should be paying for your pedicure this weekend!
Love the slices of avocado on top. So clever
“Boyfriend approved” is pretty much the key telltale sign of any good recipe
These look great- I haven’t tried making my own veg burgers yet. I love the ‘cado on top!
I love that you put corn in this recipe! I am having such corn cravings now that it’s summer. This is definitely a recipe I need to try. Seriously. (My last attempt at black bean veggie burgers was a disaster.)
Ooh…by the way Jenna…would leaving out the jalapeno seriously affect the taste of these burgers? Could I replace with a milder pepper?
I made it with chili pepper and it was great!
These look SO good. Can’t wait to (attempt to) make these myself! Ps- at least your 500 dollars worth of damage turned out to be $20! What I thought was a couple hundred dollars worth of damage I did to my car last week (by running into my husbands car.. Oops..) turned out to be 3k. Awesome! Maybe veggie burgers will work for me.??
Such a good way to butter him up!
These look amazing, and home made veggie burgers are WAY better than store bought frozen ones!
Totally going to make these this weekend. I have been meaning to try homemade black bean burgers for a while but never have. yum! I had a similar incident with my car mirror a few years ago ….. oops is right… glad it was less damage than you anticipated
This is finally a veggie burger recipe I might actually make, seeing as the ingredients are so basic (and most are already in my pantry.) Is the corn a vital ingredient to the consistency, or could that be left out?
Either way, I might actually attempt this…beware.
Naive question : can I replace the “flax egg” by “chia egg” ? Thanks.
The burgers look so delicious! And you’re right, it’s very simple to make them over buying some. I was browsing through the freezer section the other day at the grocery store and was going to buy some. I might just have to make them sometimes soon!
I just made Angela’s chocolate chip cookie balls last night for the first time. Loved them! That burger looks delish. Perhaps I will make it for dinner tonight?!
Black bean burgers are awesome! I love to change them up a million different ways. My recipe for Mediterranean Black Bean Burgers with aioli continues to be one of my most popular blog posts. I’m so glad you posted this recipe, I love the flavor combinations you used in here.
How many burgers does this recipe make?
It says 6 under the recipe name.
Sounds good – although it sounds like the avocado certainly has a lot to do with it! How would it fare without that? Still “boyfriend-approved”?
Thanks! I totally missed that.
I always miss those things
Yesssssssss!! I had the idea for spicy black bean burgers recently and was waiting for one of my fave bloggers to create a recipe; goodness knows I couldn’t create my own. Thank you for sharing!
I’m not a huge veggie burger fan, but I think I might actually try these!
I’ve been so disappointed by all the veggie burgers I’ve bought recently, so I’ve been thinking about trying some homemade ones. These look perfect!
I’m in love with TJ’s veggie masala burgers. Sometimes I’ll make my own, which are way heartier but other times you just can’t beat the convenience.
PS- We pop those cookie dough balls like they’re crack around here. So darn good!
Quote: I was really trying to butter him up before I told him that I crashed my car into a garbage can earlier that morning and shattered my side mirror!
Nice! I like the way you think.
I’m trying to convince my husband to eat a more vegetarian diet with me. Of course, those Philly cheesesteaks aren’t helping. But hey – today’s a new day, right? Lol. 
Will definitely make these burgers soon!
My dad and I were just talking about how to make veggie burgers. I am definitely showing him this recipe now!!
I’m excited to make these ! We are big veggie burger eaters our favorite are the spicy black bean ones, so this is perfect and will save me funds now ! Thanks
Always on the hunt for a good veggie burger recipe, definitely trying this one on the weekend! May test out wheat germ instead of panko….and a bit of homemade chilli sauce – yum.
Homemade veggie burgers are one of my favorite things on Earth.
My boyfriend loves anything with sriracha!
Thanks so much! I’d been thinking I’d love to try my hand at making my own veggie burgers.
i really only like my bean burgers spicy…this sounds amazing!
mmm…I know I would love these!
These look AMAZING! I’ve been looking for a veggie burger that will live up to my standards…these look perfect in every way.
So excited to try them!!! My meat-loving man is never excited at the idea of a veggie dinner!
I love it! My husband gripes at veggie burgers being bland. These will be a must try
These look so good! loving the avocado!
Thank you for this recipe….. It seems lately we are having food issues in this house. The husband and myself WON’T eat the same food, so I end up making two meals twice a day. It’s been toooooo much for me… This looks like a delicious compramise, THANK YOU!!!!
These look amazing! Can’t wait to try them…and I’m sending them to my sister to make them too!
Hi- those look great! Can you recommend a sub for the Panko and the corn?
Thanks~ Lisa
You could probably use any type of bread crumbs for the panko. And leave the corn out? Or use like peas or something
Yum!! Those look fabulous!
this sounds perfect! I am bookmarking this page for sure. thanks Jenna!
love it love it. so long as they’re boyfriend approved.
Car trouble is the worst. EVER. Also, these look amazing. I’ve been meaning to try black bean burgers! Maybe this is a sign…
Umm.. sounds and looks so delicious.. I have been looking for a good homemade veggie burger! This recipe is definitely getting printed. Thanks!
I need that in my mouth NOW!!!
OHHHHHHHH I SO need to make these for my boyfriend!! Though we are also carnivorousness and go through massive amounts of veggie burgers (mostly me) I have yet to find a tried and true recipe to win my boyfriend over… This one is next up in the line-up! I always have such great success with your recipes! Thanks for the inspiration
My husband thanks you.
I’m in love the the concept, but I’ve never found a recipe that wasn’t too dry! Will definitely have to try these.
http://goldhearted.etsy.com
I actually had the opposite problem… I couldn’t get my burgers to stick together because they were too moist. I ended up having to throw an egg in to help it keep it’s form when cooking. It was still delicious, but it takes away from the experience when your burger is gooping out of the backside of your bun.
Look incredible! Methinks my own man would approve.
This looks great!!! I have a bunch of lentils I need to use up, hopefully they will taste just as good.
Have you ever had TJ’s roasted corn? I feel like it would be supppper in this recipe. Your posts always make me soooo hungry.
You read my mind this week. I have been wanting to try a black bean burger recipe and serve it to my husband. Now I have a great recipe to try, thanks!
Have you ever made walnut burgers? I have never tried but always wanted to as a meatless option. I figure my husband will eat anything if I serve it with sweet potato fries and chipotle ketchup. Yumm!!
These burgers are gonna taste great followed by your Vegan blueberry almond tart recipe that I printed off yesterday
My husband use to HATE avocado… until he (actually) tasted it! Now he loves it! Silly boys.
“Lesson 1: Your grandma was right; the way to a man’s heart really is through his stomach. ” – Pretty sure part of the reason I’m a married woman is bc of lesson 1. Gramma was right
Yum. I love avocados on burgers! I only recently discovered that combination too. . .
Thanks for posting the black bean burger recipe. I love veggie burgers and haven’t been able to make a home made veggie burger to this day that I actually liked. So I have been buying them up until now. I am hoping and praying this one turns out and I like it. CROSSING FINGERS
The burger looks great and yes to
“Lesson 1: Your grandma was right; the way to a man’s heart really is through his stomach.”–
Totally. 100% I agree!
And you got off for $19.99??!
Whenever I think I’ve caused $500 worth of damage, in reality, it was usually more like $1500++
Never works the other way for me…boo!
And cookie dough balls. I am a huge fan too!
Yum for the burgers!
I don’t like avocados, but I like everything else in these, so I will have to try.
My bf lovesss black bean burgers, but I need to try this variation!! Glad to hear the damage wasn’t bad!
I love veggie burgers but you are right they really add up. I’ve made some pretty good versions myself but I’ll have to test yours out!
Yum! Perfect recipe!
I am always looking for a new black bean burger recipe! These look delicious! And i love me some spicaaay food!
Welcome to my dinner tonight! YUM. Glad to hear your car is okay; mine’s sick–hate when that happens!
Funny how food works like that
Except for me, the way my husband puts things off, it’s like something I thought was going to take 10 hours actually only took 20 minutes. Yay! 
The burgers look fantastic! I’m going to give them a try, I love black bean burgers
I think its safe to say that my boyfriend would definitely approve of these veggies burgers too! He’s always a sport about trying healthier fare, I’ll have to add these to the ‘need to make ASAP’ list.
Amen to Grandma! I would know. Except my first attempt at black bean burgers failed miserably (poor husband) but now this recipe will give me the chance to redeem myself. Heck, might even make Angela’s cookie dough balls for some extra brownie points.
these look great. I have a recipe so similiar too. I hope to try yours too.
Anytime a “guy” is down, we must be on to something!
I wonder if you can cook these on a grill?
Poor accident prone, Jenna! Glad this car story had a happy/inexpensive outcome.
Before I started making my own bean burgers (so easy, cheap and yummy!) I narrowed my favorite frozen brands down to those exact two you mentioned!
This variation on a black bean burger recipe looks great…I’ll be trying it soon!
Holy deliciousness! I’m in love with these. I actually kinda get freaked out about frozen veggie burgers because for the most part I never know what’s in them. I love the idea of making my very own.
Welp! Adding this to next week’s dinner list!
This is really nice! Even if you didn’t actually made the cooking right, the effort will still do it. I mean, who wouldn’t love you for that?
I’m not a big fan of avocados but basing from what I read here, it seems like your boyfriend really loved what you did! Keep the posts coming. They’re funny and a good read too!
Cute story – there’s nothing quite like sandwiching a disaster between two slices of culinary wizardry. Well played
Finding ways I can please a meat loving BBQ-ing man and a picky vegetarian child is tricky. I’ll try these out they have me salivating. Plus I just started cooking beans from dry in the slow cooker – super cheap this way
Would homemade bean burgers such as these freeze well? Would I freeze them raw or cooked? Thanks!
I am wondering the same thing!!! I would love to think that this would be something that could freeze well…
I would definitely rather get a pedicure.
YES!! These will be made tonight. My boyfriend has recently become more interested in vegetarian meals lately, and I am SO, SO glad. He even stole my copy of Veganomicon and bookmarked recipes he wants to make!
Yum!! I just made some black bean burgers that resemble these, but I love the addition of corn and jalepeno
Glad to hear it was only $20.00 worth of damage!
The burgers look fantasticccc!
Jenna
Where did you get those fabulous looking whole wheat buns? I wish you’d say Trader Joe’s, but I bet not!
Thanks.
LOVED this post. Too cute. And the colors in that burger, with all of the toppings, are perfection. We are huge bean burger fans over here!
My boyfriend says that he wants me to make these! (Maybe in my dreams…)
But he said he WILL try them, so that’s a start
I am so jealous of how perfectly creamy your avocado looks. I can’t get it out of my mind! Now I’ve got a major craving!
I need these in my face like, NOW!!!! Going to make them this weekend! I think I will try using chipotles in adobo instead of the fresh jalaps…..yummmmm
okay, these look delish!! my husband is also obsessed with avocado AND veggie burgers! ever since i kinda got him off of red meat, he’s been really into these!!
xx ~ kristina
These look great! I can’t eat a lot of veggie burgers because they contain gluten but this would be an easy recipe to make and sub the panko for GF bread crumbs!
these look great, and seem like they probably taste better than the store-bought ones anyway! double win!
i always do that ‘just throw the bad news into conversation’ thing with my dad. and i’m sure i will do it with my husband one day too
I am making this ASAP! THANK YOU!!
Because of the black beans these look almost like the real thing. I love the combinations that can go into veggie burgers.
The slice of avocado make those look unreal! Avocado is gorgeous, I love slicing it : D
These look great! I’ve been traveling in SE Asia and haven’t had an avocado in over a month… tragedy! Can’t wait until I can make these!
Wow I will have to try these! I don’t think my boyfriend would ever come close to a veggie burger, though he might like the ‘spicy’ in these, and he’ll eat anything with avocado!
Love it!
I totally use food all the time as you describe above… make a good meal, and slowly drop in that you need him to fix your car
OMG, Jenna! These look heavenly! All I have to do is swap the breadcrumbs to make these gluten-free and I’m good-to-go. Thanks for sharing!!
I am always on the hunt for a good veggie burger… My hubby loves them!
Hi,
I am totally new to the food blog world (anonymous for now). I have been following your blog for a few years now and I have to say thank you for inspiring me. Your delicious food pushed me to enjoy food again! These black bean burgers look absolutely delicious and I think they will even pass my boy’s muster for a filling veggie meal. You are fabulous and a true inspiration Jenna!
Girl Eat
These look pretty delicious! I’m not sure if I could get my boyfriend on board though. He is a full on carnivore. Maybe someday
I just finished making and eating these, they are wonderful! Super easy and soo good! Thanks Jenna!!
Great recipe!! I LOVE veggie burgers and cannot wait to try this! *bookmarked*
Hi Jenna! I am new to your blog and I just had to comment and say WOW- I am officially a fan! I tried this recipe last night and it was so yummy, I was pinching pieces of one before I even made the actual sandwich. I am just getting aquatinted with my kitchen and it’s still a learning process- for example, I cut the jalapeno with a serrated knife and I could not stop coughing LOL- but it’s fun and I will come back here for more recipes! Enjoy your Sunday
This is a great idea! I have only made veggie burgers from scratch once using lentils and they were crumbly. They were tasty but you couldn’t really eat them like burgers. I will try this!
this looks beyond amazing. going to make these STAT.
OMG I just made these for dinner. Subbed the flax for a real egg and some hot sauce instead of jalepeno. AMAZING! Thank you!!
I was just wondering if it would be okay if I did that!!!
So glad I read through the comments.
These look AMAZING
I keep wanting to make black bean burgers, but for some reason no matter what anyone says I’m afraid they won’t be tasty. I really think I would like these though.
I dump some lime juice in mine and mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm it gives them that extra kick I tend to crave with non-meat-patties…
I changed this up a tad for dinner this evening and was pleased!
HAHA, jenna – i love this! The conversation… as well as the burgers
I made these (except I only had one can of black beans, so I substituted chickpeas!) and they are delicious!!!! Especially with avocado. YUM. Thanks! I just wish I could figure out how to flip them without having them fall apart…could’ve been the chickpeas but I always seem to have that problem with homemade bean burgers!
I found Sunshine burgers in the clearance freezer at my local Sprouts for 99 cents.
I’ve never had it before so I thought I would give it a go.
But I agree, the best veggie burgers are the ones you make yourself. I must give yours a try
Made these tonight, they were amazing!!!! I can’t wait to eat another one for lunch tomorrow! So easy to make and much tastier than the frozen kind.
YUM!! Made these last night for the me and my roomie- we both LOVED it- thanks for the recipe. And I LOVE sriracha- its a staple in my house back home in Hawaii so it added that familiar flavor that made it perfect =) .
I made these for my boyfriend and I tonight….I knew they would be great, but he was a little hesitant as I expected. But like you found out, they are for sure boyfriend approved
Thanks for sharing!
Girl, you know I love you already but these are off the charts. Like, “I know I have dragon breath but those burgers were sooooo good” good. Yea man, you hit. Hubby had buns, I ate just plain. THANK YOU.
ps we’re on a 10 day cleanse starting tomorrow. Daughter (still breastfeeding) & hubby have major skin issues, new dermatologist is also a homeopath and wants us to eliminate almost everything besides fruit & veggies from diet for 10 days. Stay tuned….
Love ya,
mama jen
I just made these and then inhaled them in about a minute & a half they are soo good! I had mine with bbq sauce & home-made tzatziki… mmmmmm…
I made these last night and they were a HUGE hit in my house which is saying something for a veggie burger! My very carnivorous husband and picky 4 & 6 year olds loved every bite! The only thing I omitted was the jalapenos because of the kids. Thank you Jenna for another fabulous recipe!
I just made these for dinner tonight and WOW. I was really hesitant to make them because I’ve never been a fan of store bought veggie burgers but I like everything in your recipe and gave them a shot. These are now going into my rotation. Spicy and crunchy and creamy delicious-ness. Now I have to see if they pass the “meat- eating- man- who- believes- tofu- isn’t- a -food-and all meals should be made with bacon” test.
The burgers look delicious from the pictures! I agree that buying the prepared veggie burgers adds up quickly. I will have to try your recipe sometime!
My husband is not a fan of black beans but these burgers looked good even to him.l Yours look much better than the frozen ones I have seen!
I made these today with some alterations – delicious!!!!
http://someotherbetty.wordpress.com/2011/07/17/meat-esque-and-tasty-black-bean-burgers/
My husband and I made these for dinner last night–they were amazing! We topped them with a little homemade salsa and avo, seriously so good! I freezed the rest so I can have a quick veggie burger when I need it!
Did anyone else find these EXTREMELY salty? Like, borderline non-edible?? (and I LOVE my salt!) The beans I use have really low sodium (130 mg/serving and thats BEFORE draining and rinsing) so its not from the beans. Did I read it wrong because I see 1 1/4 tsp salt, as in 1.25 tsp. I think next time I will cut the salt in half. I was able to eat them since they were on a bun, with avo, etc so the saltiness was cut a little, but my plan for the leftovers was to just have the patty with a salad and I don’t think I will be able to get them down. LOL. Oh well, I can tell the flavor is really good and if I cut the salt I think we’ve got a winner. Now if I could just figure out how to keep them from falling apart! haha!
Mmmm…spicy black beans burgers are delicious. I can’t wait to give these a try!
Hello!
I just wanted to inform you that your delicious recipe has been featured here:
http://beeselbows.blogspot.com/2011/07/tasty-tuesday-hammmmmmburger-bonanza.html
Cheers,
.SMH.
I have saved this link and can’t wait to try these! Non-grass fed beef and anything soy cause allergy problems for me, so burgers aren’t something I eat very often anymore. I doubt my guys would eat them but I’d love to have something quick and easy in the freezer for Zumba nights.
Nice! I tried these out for the first time today and ended up eating two for lunch. I’m not the greatest cook, so anything that’s as easy to throw together like this is great. Good flavor and texture. Thanks!
Warning: if you try to print this recipe through the “Print this recipe!” link, it will print 10 pages because the whole list of recipes is on the side…
These look divine! I simply must try, been looking for a spicy black bean burger recipe forever!
These are AMAZING!! i had really high expectations and they exceeded them!! I put mine in a half of a whole wheat toasted pita pocket. So delicious. Great with hot salsa on the side as well as a sprinkle of lime
I made these for dinner last night and they were SOOOO GOOD. I will definitely make them again. I added some ground chia seeds to the flax/water mixture and it turned out great. Thanks for the awesome healthy recipe!
Would a chipotle in adobo sauce work well in this recipe in place of jalapeno?
Hi Jenna! The flavor of these was DELICIOUS but I had a really hard time getting them to stick together. They were falling apart in the pan. Any tips for next time!? Thanks!
What size are the black bean cans? Thanks!
Made these last night and they were delicious, and also 10-year-old approved!
I made them with fresh cooked black beans (instead of canned) and so there was a lot of the delicious cooking liquid in with the beans. So I ommitted the tomato sauce and added a bit of extra panko. Mine stuck together just fine, and were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! I would suggest, for anyone having stick-together problems, to add ALL of the beans in the processor at the same time, and just pulse a few times so it is thick and chunky. And maybe add a little extra liquid (tomato sauce or the liquid from the beans). My mix came out very similar in texture to ground beef, so they stuck together really well. I also made them on a table top grill so no flipping was necessary
Were even firmer the next day (just ate one for lunch)!
Yum! Thanks!
I was eating the burgers raw out of the bowl…told my husband he’d better hurry home if he wanted any. These veggie burgers are better than any I’ve tasted; an excellent alternative for a brand I’ve purchased in the past. This recipe is better because it doesn’t contain soy and the flavor is fantastic.
I didn’t have the jalapeno but had chipotles in the fridge, so substituted them and the flavor is excellent. I am so grateful to you for this recipe.
Oh, how I love your blog, Jenna! Between you and “Pioneer Woman”, I am getting nothing done!! However, I AM getting tons of great recipes!! Thank you!!!
I made these tonight and they were super delicious. Mine, however, did fall apart. Next time I’m going to have to add in an egg, but the flavor was delicious. Topped mine with avocado, goat cheese and some ketchup with siracha and cinnamon. The ketchup was PERFECT on there. Thanks for the recipe!
Wow, these are so good! The mixture in the food processor tasted good already and would probably make a great black bean dip! I’m so excited to share this recipe with my friends.
Do they freeze well?
Delicious! Next time I think I’ll spice it up a bit more though. I substituted the bread crumbs with corn meal and it worked out well. Thanks!
Made these tonight and they were awesome, Jenna. We’re talking seriously delicious. I did modify your recipe a little though, since I’m allergic to gluten. You can for sure substitute almond flour for panko crumbs (part for part) and it works great. I also used red bell pepper instead of jalapeno since I’m not a big fan of spice. Accidentally bought flaxseed at the store tonight instead of ground flax (oops!) but went ahead and mixed it with water to soften it up, then strained it with my hands. Had a hard time helping the burgers keep their shape… maybe I just need to add a little more flour next time? A recipe takes several tries to perfect anyway. But serious props to you for such a delicious summertime dish! Many, many thanks!
