Instructions
Prepare the flax egg by mixing 1 tbsp ground flax seeds with 2.5 tbsp water. Add to a blender along with the onion, garlic, and half the black beans. Blend until smooth. (If you need to add a little water to help it blend, that is fine)
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the remaining beans as well as the spices. Mix to combine.
Gradually add in the breadcrumbs until the mixture comes together. You may not need them all. Divide the mixture into 4 burgers and shape into patties.
Cook the patties in an oiled pan over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes on each side. You are aiming for a golden brown colour and for the burgers to be heated through.
Serve immediately with your choice of toppings!
Notes
I like to make extra burgers to store in the fridge and bring for lunch the next day. They go great in wraps with a little hummus!
