INGREDIENTS

1 cup black beans

0.25 cup egg whites

0.5 tbsp almond flour

0.5 tbsp hemp hearts

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

0.25 cup red onion

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

0.13 whole avocado

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp fresh cilantro

1 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Drain and rinse the black beans, then pat them completely dry with a paper towel to ensure the burgers do not get mushy.

• 2

  Place the beans in a large bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but with some whole beans remaining for texture.

• 3

  Stir in the egg whites, almond flour, hemp hearts, nutritional yeast, finely diced red onion, cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

• 4

  Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into firm patties, about one inch thick.

• 5

  Heat the avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sear the patties for 5-6 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.

• 6

  While the burgers cook, combine the Greek yogurt, avocado, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic powder in a small blender or food processor and pulse until velvety.

• 7

  Serve the hot black bean burgers topped with a generous dollop of the avocado crema.
