INGREDIENTS

1 cup black beans

0.25 cup rolled oats

1 large egg

0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

0.13 whole avocado

0.25 cup red bell pepper

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp lime juice

0 tsp extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Drain and rinse the black beans, then pat them completely dry with a paper towel to ensure the burgers aren't mushy.

• 2

  In a medium bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth but with some whole beans remaining for texture.

• 3

  Finely dice the red bell pepper and mince the garlic clove.

• 4

  Add the oats, egg, 0.25 cup of the Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, diced pepper, garlic, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans.

• 5

  Stir the mixture until well combined and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to hydrate and bind the ingredients.

• 6

  Form the mixture into two thick patties.

• 7

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.

• 8

  While the burgers cook, prepare the crema by mashing the avocado with the remaining 0.25 cup of Greek yogurt and lime juice until smooth.

• 9

  Serve the hot patties topped with a generous dollop of the avocado crema.
