While I’m a big fan of animal proteins (they’re super filling and help stabilize blood
sugar), it’s nice to have variety. These veggie burgers are egg-free, soy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, completely vegan, and offer 10 grams of plant-based protein per burger.
Yields 12 burgers
1/4 cup golden ground flax seeds
1/2 cup water
3 and 1/2 cups cooked black beans or 2 (15-ounce/425-gram) cans, drained and rinsed
1 cup cashews
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, diced
8 ounce (225 gram) baby bella mushrooms, diced
1 and 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
1 cup oat flour or Rorie’s Grain-Free flour
1/2 cup washed and chopped parsley
1/3 cup washed and chopped scallions
2 tablespoons Pereg Smoked Paprika
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
In a small bowl, combine ground flax and water. Stir to combine; set aside.
Mash black beans with a potato masher or fork in a large bowl until most of the beans are a paste.
Pulse the cashews in a food processor fitted with the S-blade until they’re breadcrumb size, with just a few larger pieces remaining. Add them to the bowl with the beans.
Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook for another five to seven minutes, or until lightly browned. Set aside to cool slightly.
Add the flax mixture to the bean mixture, then add the remaining ingredients, including the onion-mushroom mixture. Mix very well.
In the same pan used for the mushrooms and onions, heat the remaining two tablespoons oil over medium heat.
With oiled hands or disposable gloves, shape 1/2 cup of the mixture into 3/4-inch (two-centimeter) thick patties. Place three to four patties in the skillet; cook for four to five minutes, until golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the burgers; cook for an additional four to five minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Repeat with remaining burger mixture.

Looks delish! If I wanted to use an egg instead of the flaxseed and water, would it be one egg or 2?
