- 1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1/2 onion, cut into wedges
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder (to make them less spicy, use regular chili powder instead)
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon red pepper sauce
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs (gluten-free crumbs work well)
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork.
- In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans
- In a small bowl, stir together eggs, chili pepper, cumin, and red pepper sauce
- Stir the eggs, chili powder, and cumin into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs and rolled oats until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Let the mixture set for 5 or 10 minutes to allow the bread crumbs and oats to absorb the moisture. Divide mixture into four patties.
- If grilling, place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking, place patties on parchment paper covered baking sheet, and bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes on each side.
