Easy Chickpea Burgers
A delicious plant-based alternative to the tra
Equipment
- High-speed blender Alternate: Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can chicpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms any mushroom of choice
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
- 1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp harrissa powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Add one and a half cups of rolled oats to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until the oats are fully broken down and resemble flour. Then transfer the homemade oat flour to a separate bowl. If you have store-bought oat flour, then you can skip this step.
- Once you have removed the oat flour from the blender, add chickpeas, mushrooms, garlic clove, peanut butter, soy sauce and spices.
- Blend together until fully combined. The mixture won't be fully smooth, but there shouldn't be any large chunks. Depending on the type of blender/ food processor, you may need to stop and scrape down the sides to help the blender blend.
- Pour the chickpea mixture into a separate bowl. Add oat flour and mix using a rubber spatula. If the batter is still tacky to the touch, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour. The mixture is naturally on the wet side, so if it sticks to your hands slightly, that's okay.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. To form the patties, lightly spray or oil your hands to prevent the batter from sticking. Then using a spoon, scoop out 2 spoonfuls and roll into a ball. This should make about 6 chickpea patties. To flatten, lightly press them with your hand to about a 1/4 of an inch.
- Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes. The patties will be golden brown and feel firm to the touch. Serve them up with all your favorite burger fixins' and enjoy!
