Spice preference?
These are spicy black bean burgers! The spice comes from the chipotles in adobo sauce. I used 3 chipotles and think they are at the perfect level. You can taste the spice even with all your desired toppings & bun, but it isn’t overpowering.
You can feel free to use more or less chipotles to adjust to your preference!
Ingredients:
- Onion, garlic, red bell pepper and mushrooms for a hearty texture.
- 1 can of black beans: High in plant proteins and fibre for a hearty and filling meal.
- 1 egg to bind it all together.
- Dried spices to pack in flavour.
- Chipotles from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce. Adjust the amount to your spice preference.
- Oat flour (or sub panko if not gluten-free): The perfect gluten-free way to bind the mixture together. If the mixture is too wet you can add in a few more table spoons to thicken it up. I make my own oat flour by blending rolled oats, but you can also purchase oat flour in the grocery store for convenience!
How to make spicy black bean burgers:
- Start by sautéing the veggies in a frying pan and set aside to cool while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
- Add the remaining ingredients except for the oat flour into a medium bowl. Mash the beans using a potato masher, or alternately you can pulse in a food processor.
- Mix in the sautéed veggies and oat flour and allow to sit for a few minutes so the oat flour starts to absorb the liquid.
- Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop about 1/3 cup of the chipotle black bean burger mixture and form into discs and place on the lined baking sheet. Repeat and gently press on the top of each one to flatten slightly. You should get 6 patties.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for another 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Topping suggestions:
- Sriracha or chipotle mayo
- Tomato slices
- Roasted red peppers
- Avocado
- Honey mustard

Chipotle Black Bean Burger
This black bean burger recipe is delicious, hearty, and will make you never want to eat frozen veggie patties ever again!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup small diced yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup diced crimini mushrooms
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, small diced
- Drizzle olive oil
- 19 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 egg whisked
- 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Pinch salt & pepper
- 1-3 peppers from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce, diced I used 3, use less if you prefer less spice.
- 1/3-1/2 cup oat flour (Plus more if needed for consisteny, see notes) Or panko breadcrumbs if not gluten-free.
Instructions
- Start by preparing the onion, garlic, bell pepper and mushrooms. Drizzle a medium frying pan with olive oil and cook the veggies over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To a medium bowl, add the drained and rinsed black beans, the whisked egg, apple cider vinegar, BBQ sauce, spices, salt & pepper and chopped chipotle peppers. With a potato masher, mash the mixture until the black beans are mostly broken down and mixed with the other ingredients. Alternately, you can blend the mixture in a food processor.
- Once mashed, mix in the cooled veggies and oat flour. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes to thicken up.
- Scoop approximately 1/3 cup of mixture and form into pucks with your hands. Place it on the parchment lined baking sheet and gently press down on top to flatten them slightly. The mixture will be very wet, but one formed, the patties should hold their shape on the baking pan. If not, add more oatflour as needed to get a thicker consistency.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture, you should get 6 patties.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove and flip the patties and bake for another 10 minutes.
- They should be slightly golden brown and crispy on the outside. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Serve with burger buns and desired toppings, enjoy!
