Black Bean Burgers

.

These easy-to-make, delicious black bean burgers are totally plant-based.  You will love them.  Be sure and make an extra batch to keep in your freezer for a quick lunch.  Full of protein with heart healthy flax and walnuts, they can’t be beat!

Just blend, combine, scoop onto a baking sheet, flatten into patties and bake. For No-Oil version, omit spraying the parchment.  It does stick some, the best option would be to use a silicon pad.

.

This Bakon Hickory Smoked Dried Torula Yeast is a key ingredient and does not replace well with other hickory seasonings–the flavor just can’t be duplicated, so be sure and use this product if you can; it is well worth having in your pantry–also delicious in baked beans.

Be sure and follow the directions to cover while cooking–you don’t want them to be hockey pucks, just tender moist burgers!
