Satisfy your cravings with these Mushroom Black Bean Burgers—savory, hearty, and packed with plant-based protein. Perfect for grilling or pan-frying! These veggie burgers combine earthy mushrooms and creamy black beans for a flavor-packed, nutritious alternative to traditional beef patties. 🍄🍔✨

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4–6 patties 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked black beans (or canned, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms (cremini or button work well)
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free alternative)
  • ¼ cup finely diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
  • Burger buns, lettuce, tomato, avocado slices, condiments (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the mushrooms and onions to ensure even distribution in the patties. Mash the black beans slightly with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
  2. Combine the mashed black beans, mushrooms, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, spices, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix until the mixture holds together but isn’t overly compacted. Form into 4–6 evenly sized patties.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, grill them on medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side.
  4. Toast the buns lightly, then assemble the burgers with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, avocado, and condiments. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • For gluten-free options, substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs or oats.
  • Vegan alternative: Use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tbsp water).
  • Freeze uncooked patties on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
  • Let patties rest in the fridge for 15–30 minutes before cooking to help them hold together.
  • Experiment with add-ins like grated carrots, corn kernels, or chopped bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
