INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup Black Beans (canned, low sodium, rinsed)
0.25 cup dry Quinoa
2 large Eggs
0.25 cup Rolled Oats (ground)
0.25 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
0.25 cup diced Yellow Onion
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
2 Tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the quinoa according to package instructions, then let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until slightly chunky.
Add the cooled quinoa, lightly beaten eggs, ground rolled oats, diced red bell pepper, diced onion, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, fresh cilantro, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more ground oats.
Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and form into patties.
Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they hold together and have a nice golden crust.
Serve warm, either in a whole-grain bun, over a salad, or paired with your favorite dipping sauce.
