These homemade Pumpkin Bean Burgers are vegan, gluten free, slightly spicy, protein packed, healthy, and super easy to make!
FAVORITE right now! Seriously I love burgers ESPECIALLY ones that you can make a bunch of and freeze cause’ I’m all about that meal preppin’ and having easy things to make super fast!Â
RECIPE RUNDOWN on these Pumpkin Bean Burgers:
Flavor- delicious! mild tasting from the beans and pumpkin with a spicy after bite kick from the cayenne or chili powder, and ever more spice if you add the optional peppers.
Texture- thick and hearty from the beans and oat flour, with the perfect amount of crisp outside from pan frying and firm texture from baking. Â
Ease of making- could not be any more simple! Literally just mashing and mixing everything in a bowl and forming some burgers, fry em’ up and give them a quick baking!Â
Ease of clean up- very little clean up!Â
TIPS for making: don’t skip the pan frying first step to these burgers, if you skip that step they won’t be as crisp and firm as a burger should be if you only bake them… they’ll end up more a like patty rather than a burger.
Customization: Add any other vegetables into this mixture you like, peppers, corn,Â
Additional notes: These are great for those who like to meal prep or just have healthy options pre-made without fuss, because these burger freeze really well and re-heat or thaw out great!Â
