This black bean veggie burger recipe is flexible, and works well if you stick with the directions and watch the wet|dry balance.

It's fine to substitute peppers for onion, or celery, in this black bean recipe, and I used only one clove of garlic. Grated carrots would be another possible substitution. I made bread crumbs in the food processor using dry crusts.
Cooking Tip: If you're going to soak and cook beans, it's worth making extra, to freeze in small amounts for future meals. More bean cooking tips and directions

Q: Can the Vegan Black Bean Veggie Burgers be frozen, i.e before it is fried? - Shanna P.
A: Yes! It works fine to freeze veggie burgers. Make the mix into patties, laying them on a baking sheet between wax paper or plastic wrap, and freeze them like that. After the patties are frozen, seal them in a zip lock freezer bag, sucking out the air with a straw (as many as you want in a bag). They should store that way for up to a month in a fridge freezer or several months in a deep freeze. They can go frozen directly into the fry pan or on the grill.
Q: Can your black bean burgers be cooked on the grill? If not, do you have a "grillable" veg burger recipe? Thanks! :) - Allison B.
A: I would say that black bean burgers are grillable with care, but that tofu burgers are the most grillable of our veggie burger recipes - they hold together best.
I have tried this one, its yummmmy !!! - Achala K
I had that tonight, very good! - Stephanie C. A.
Delish! Thanks for sharing. I used regular rolled oats and it turned out just fine. It was moist enough so I omited the hummus. Good recipe. Will make again. - Angie H.
I have used this recipe several times and recently used a food processor. I put everything in the food processor, omitted the hummus, and also added a small can of green chillies; it was by far the best they have ever turned out for me. I ended up cooking them on a large griddle and was able to cook seven or eight at a time. So delicious!! - Joseph H.
Cooked the black bean burgers for the first time tonight. Delicious! I did not use breadcrumbs, but added a small amount of ground hazeleuts. I also used whole oats - Monica G.
I'm making these today - I'm going to try mixing half the beans with the other ingredients in the food processor and then adding the rest whole. I can see how versatile these are - Ophelia S.
