Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dry quinoa
- water
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt, divided
- 1 (15 oz) can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste (a combo of ketchup & BBQ would work too)
- 1 large egg
- 2/3 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup oat flour
Instructions
- Place the quinoa in a small saucepan with 3/4 cup of water.
- Set the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 10-15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat and add the onion and garlic.
- Add ¼ teaspoon salt and sauté until onions are softened, 5-6 minutes.
- Place the mixture into a large bowl.
- Add black beans to the bowl and using a potato masher or fork, mash together until a pasty mixture forms.
- Stir in the tomato paste, egg, corn, cilantro, cumin, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Stir in the cooked quinoa, oats, and oat flour until well-mixed.
- Form the mixture into 6 equal patties, compacting them well with your hands as you form them.
- Place the patties on a baking sheet, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least a few hours or overnight.
- When ready to eat, preheat the oven to 400 F or heat a griddle to medium-high heat.
- If baking, spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and place the patties on the sheet cook for 10-12 minutes until the patties are golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the over and cook another 10 minutes.
- If using a griddle, heat for 4-6 minutes per side or until slightly golden.
- Serve patties on toasted buns with lettuce.

This looks amazing. I found you on Unlimited Link Party. I would need to make slight changes due to my egg allergy and gluten allergy, but I think this could work. I saved the recipe. Have a wonderful week.
Hope you will enjoy it and I am sure that you will make it work to suit your dietary needs. Love to hear back from you how it turned out.
