So glad you liked them! I agree, I was skeptical about the runny texture of the mixture as well but isn’t it amazing how they bake up so well? Now I think I’ll add these to my dinner plan for this week!

I took the time to post a long comment about how much I enjoyed and appreciated this recipe but I don’t see it. Not sure why…?

Thank you for this perfect recipe! I followed everything exactly, down to searing the patties at the end, and these burgers are so delicious!!!

I was worried about the runnyness of the mixture when I was forming the patties, but they came out perfectly. I have several burgers to freeze and can’t wait to eat them. Next time I will top it with avocado!

So this mixture IS a bit more gloppy and liquidy than other black bean burger recipes. The best way I can describe it is that it can be formed into patties and placed on the baking sheet, but once they’re on the baking sheet if you try to pick them back up again they will fall apart. If they are too soft to even form a patty, then yes, more bread crumbs, or even just more time for the breadcrumbs to absorb the liquid (this is a good time to stick the whole mixture in the fridge, since not only will the breadcrumbs absorb some of the liquid but also if the mixture is cooler it will be easier to form into patties). And you’re right, blending too much will also release more liquid it might help next time to leave everything a bit chunkier. Hope that helps!

My mixture seemed very gloppy and too liquid. Should I have blended less? More bread crumbs?

So glad you liked it! Glad to hear it worked well for a gluten-free version!

I just made these and they were so good! I used gluten free panko bread crumbs and gluten free soy sauce due to having Celiac disease. For the onion and bell pepper, I used the mixed frozen bag and it turned out perfect!

So glad you liked it! Great to know it worked well with sweet potato instead of egg and with GF breadcrumbs!

Added one small cooked sweet potato, instead of eggs. Also 1 small chopped jalapeño instead of hot sauce and they were fantastic! Made my own gluten free breadcrumbs.

Glad you liked them! Interesting idea to add the walnuts – I’ll have to try that sometime!

By: Asha

These patties came out very well- The onions/peppers/garlic gave it great flavor. I used flax eggs and also added about 1/2 cup or more crushed walnuts for extra protein. They were still soft out of the over but they firm up considerably after 20 min or so on the sheet pan. Thanks!
