Vegan Oyster Mushroom Burger with Black Beans

Don't come for me, but I am not a fan of meat substitute burgers. I believe that one of the great benefits of a plant based diet is eating whole foods like veggies and beans. Impossible and beyond burgers are okay sometimes, but nothing beats a homemade veggie burger. These Vegan Oyster Mushroom Burger with Black Beans are such a good veggie burger recipe.

These burgers are meaty without any meat thanks to the oyster mushrooms. They are also packed with protein thanks to black beans. I snuck in some oats to this burger to round out the protein and make them a complete protein source.

Let's get into the recipe.

• gluten free, dairy free, egg free and plant based

Instructions for making Oyster Mushroom Veggie Burgers with Black Beans

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Add beans, onion and mushrooms to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Lightly coat beans in salt and pepper. Toss oyster mushrooms with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and a splash of oil. Bake for 15 minutes. Leave the oven on once this time has passed because we will be cooking the burgers again.
3. While beans, onions and mushrooms are cooking, make your flax egg. Mix together flax and water and let sit refrigerated for 10-15 minutes.
4. Once beans, onions and oyster mushrooms are done cooking  transfer them to a food processor or blender. Add flax egg and the rest of the ingredients to the blender. Pulse a few times until partially blended, you still want some texture but you want the mixture binded.
5. Form 3-4 evenly sized burgers on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, I made 3 with handfuls of the mixture. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until burgers have started to brown. For best cooking results flip halfway through (optional)
6. Let burgers cool and serve with your favorite sides and toppings. I recommend a toasted bun with avocado, ketchup and mustard
