This lean and mean black bean burger is one of our favorites. For a plant-based vegan burger, it really hits the spot and it is hands down healthier than a Beyond Meat or Impossible burger. The patties do have to be refrigerated before forming the burgers so make sure to go through the instructions below.

Instructions
- Mix 1 Tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 Tablespoons of cold water and place in the fridge.
- Pulse beans with your food processor until mashed but not mushy!! Or you can mash them in a bowl with a fork or potato masher.
- Add the oats, bread crumbs, salsa, all the spices (Worcestershire sauce is optional), and the flaxseed that you chilled in the fridge to the food processor or bowl. Pulse or mix some more. Let it stay chunky.
- Divide mixture into 4 sections. Form each section into a patty and place them on a large plate.
- Refrigerate the plate of burger patties for about 20 minutes. This step is not optional as the burgers cook up so much better and keep their form.
- Spray oil in a pan on medium heat.
- Pan fry each burger patty for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned and crispy on the outside.
- Assemble burger on a bun or lettuce wrap with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
