Consider these homemade veggie burgers a fail-proof template recipe. The bulk of the burgers comes from a combination of canned beans, onion, and oats. From there, choose any spices, cheese, and herbs you like. It's pantry-friendly, easy, and ultra healthy.
How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 1 (15 ounce) can beans, drained and rinsed (we like pinto beans)
- 3/4 cup rolled oats (see notes)
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 6 tablespoons cheese of choice (shredded mozzarella, cheddar, or feta)
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs of choice (cilantro, parsley, and/or basil)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons spices of choice (cumin, paprika, basil, etc)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pepper, to taste
- cooking oil, for frying
Instructions
- Step 1: Add all ingredients, except the cheese, diced bell pepper, and cooking oil, to a large food processor.
- Step 2: Pulse all of the ingredients until the oats have broken down and a thick paste is formed. Fold in the cheese and bell pepper until well combined.
- Step 3: Transfer the burger mixture to a bowl or airtight container. You can now chill the burgers up to 1 day in the refrigerator. Otherwise, lightly wet your hands with water and shape the paste into burger patties. Keeping your hands a little wet helps avoid sticking.
- Step 4: Heat an oiled skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the burgers until browned on each side, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Serve: Enjoy! These burgers are great in a bun, over salads, or with sweet potato fries.
Recipe Notes
You can substitute the oats with oat flour if needed. You'll need about 1/2 cup of oat flour for every 3/4 cup of rolled oats.

You can substitute the oats with oat flour if needed. You'll need about 1/2 cup of oat flour for every 3/4 cup of rolled oats. If you'd rather not use an imitation cheese product, substitute every 6 tablespoons of shredded cheese with either 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast and/or 4 tablespoons of grated and squeezed zucchini.
