5-Ingredient BBQ black bean burgers

Cook time: 20 minutes

Serves: 3 large burgers

Kitchen clean-out

Ingredients:

• 1 15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4C of your favorite barbecue sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 2/3C quick cooking oats

Preparations:

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
2. In a medium-size mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until you have a chunky paste (you’ll want to leave some of the bean chunks for texture).
3. Add in the barbecue sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well-combined.
4. Add in the oats, and stir until well-combined. You don’t want any lumps of oats.
5. With wet hands, form the mixture into three even-sized patties. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip over, and then bake an additional 10 minutes or until the patties are slightly brown, beginning to crack on the edges, and feel solid.
6. Serve immediately on whole grain buns with your favorite burger toppings.
7. Whole wheat burger buns and burger toppings, for serving.
