The best black bean burger recipe – everything you need to know about how to make black bean burgers taste delicious!
This black bean burger recipe is an answer to all of your bland veggie burger problems.
If you’ve ever had a less than delicious veggie burger, you know how difficult it can be to find recipes that are not only meatless, but also delicious.
Today I’m sharing my favorite way to make flavorful, non mushy black bean burgers.
What are the ingredients in a black bean burger
- black beans
- onion
- garlic
- egg
- panko style bread crumbs
- oat flour
- powdered parmesan
- spices
That’s it!
These veggie burgers are really simple to throw together and don’t take long at all to cook.
How to make black bean burgers
First, add your black beans, garlic cloves, and onion to a food processor.
Process until the garlic and onion are combined, and the mixture looks like refried beans.
Once your beans are ready, transfer them to a large bowl.
A rubber spatula is easiest to use when removing the beans from the food processor.
To the bowl, add your remaining ingredients:
1 egg, panko style bread crumbs (these are chunkier than normal bread crumbs, so be sure to buy panko), oat flour, powdered parmesan, and spices.
Mix it all up and it’s time to form them into patties!
When I made this recipe, I made 5 black bean burgers, but they were so big and filling that I think it would be better to split the recipe into 6 burgers instead.
Heat a skillet with olive oil, and place your burgers in it.
Cook on each side for 5 – 8 minutes, until browned and crispy on both sides.
Use a spatula to flatten the burgers into the pan for optimal crisp.
Once your burgers are done, it’s time to eat!
These burgers are the perfect texture, and don’t fall apart, which is a big problem with a lot of veggie burgers.
These are seriously the best black bean burgers I have ever had!
Toppings for a black bean burger
- cheese
- tomato
- pickles
- mayo
- ketchup
- lettuce
- onion
Or add whatever you want!
I used regular mayo on mine, but chipotle mayo would be delicious as well.
What to serve with your black bean burgers
Here are a few ideas of sides that would pair well with a black bean burger!
- baked macaroni and cheese
- brussel sprout chips
- baked garlic parmesan potato wedges
- easy roasted mushrooms
- oven roasted frozen broccoli

Hi there! Can I just use regular flour?
Kathy says
Sounds really good and easy, but, i need to ask if you drain the beans or not, thank you.
Joy Shull says
Yes, the instructions call for black beans that are drained and rinsed 🙂 Enjoy!
Dorrie says
I don’t want to buy oat flower, simply for this recipe. Can I use oatmeal and process it in my food processor until it is like flour?
Joy Shull says
Yes! Just use rolled oats (also called old fashioned oats) and blend them into flour, that is all oat flour is.
Louise says
Can you tell me what size can of black beans do you use?
Joy Shull says
Each can is just standard size – it says around 15 oz on the can!
Rachel says
Can I freeze the black bean burgers and then cook them later? Or cook them, then freeze and then reheat in the skillet?
Joy Shull says
I have not tried freezing them myself, but I don’t know why it wouldn’t work!
Heather says
Make, fry, freeze, bake. I’m single, so I make these ahead of time, pop them in the freezer, remove and store in a ziploc bag, and take them out as needed. Bake at 300°-350° flipping over midway. I add cheese to mine towards the end.
Candace says
Can these be frozen uncooked?
J says
Yum!
