1
Tip
For extra flavor, add a handful of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro if available.
2
Variation
Substitute the breadcrumbs with oat flour for a gluten-free option.
Notes



1
In a large mixing bowl, mash the beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.



2
Add the breadcrumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, soy sauce, and olive oil to the mashed beans.



3
Mix the ingredients until thoroughly combined. The mixture should be sticky but manageable. If too wet, add more breadcrumbs; if too dry, a splash of water or soy sauce.



4
Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Chill the patties in the fridge for about 10 minutes to firm them up.



5
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the bean patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, until a crust forms and they're heated through.



6
Serve the bean burgers on buns with your choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, and ketchup.
