Quick Vegan Black Bean Burger

By -

These savory, smoky black bean patties are simple to mix together and hold up well, providing a great plant-based alternative to traditional burgers.

INGREDIENTS

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can Black Beans, rinsed, drained, and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats (or Quick Oats)
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (Panko or standard)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped Red Onion 

Flavor & Binder

  • 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (for savory flavor)
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce Substitute (San-J - No Soy Tamari - Specially Brewed Soy Sauce Alternative or Simple Truth Organic® Coconut Aminos All-Purpose Seasoning Sauce)
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional, for heat)
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil (for mixing)

For Cooking

  • 1-2 Tbsp Oil (for pan-frying/grilling)

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: PREPARE THE BASE

  1. Dry Beans: This is crucial. Spread the rinsed and drained black beans on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat them very dry.
  2. Mash: Transfer the dried beans to a large bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, mash about two-thirds of the beans until mostly smooth. Leave the remaining one-third whole for texture.

STEP 2: MIX THE PATTIES

  1. Add Flavor: Add the chopped onion, nutritional yeast, soy sauce substitution, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well.
  2. Add Binders: Stir in the rolled oats and breadcrumbs along with 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
  3. Check Consistency: Mix everything thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms. If the mixture feels too wet, add an extra tablespoon of breadcrumbs. If it feels too dry and crumbly, add 1-2 teaspoons of water or broth.
  4. Shape: Divide the mixture into 4 or 5 equal portions. Form each portion into a patty, making them slightly flatter and wider than your burger buns (they won't shrink much when cooked).

STEP 3: COOK

  1. Stovetop/Pan-Fry: Heat 1-2 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook: Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until they develop a deep, crisp brown crust and are heated through.
  3. Serve: Serve hot on toasted buns with your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, vegan mayo, etc.). Enjoy!

The Collapse of the "Hollow Wing” | Spirit Airlines and the Judgment of Liquidation

Israel, do not be deceived by the corporate talk of "bondholders" and "equity stakes." The grounding of Spirit Airlines without a federal bailout is a physical manifestation of a spiritual reality. We are witnessing the Judicial Liquidation of America’s infrastructure. For 400 years, this nation has soared on the supply of labor from our nation through chattel and minimum wage, but the "energy cord" is being cut. When a corporation that serves the “budget-conscious family” and the "working class" is allowed to fall into the "iron furnace" of bankruptcy while the government refuses a bailout, it is a sign that the hollow savior of federal intervention is no longer coming to the rescue. 1. The Drying Up of the "Hollow Benefits" For decades, the United States maintained its power through bailouts and subsidies, what we call "hollow benefits” that are temporary and unsustainable.

The Side-Chick Illusion | What David’s Palace Proves About Modern Men

Focus: From the palace of Jerusalem to today's modern timeline: how the side-chick is bypassed. Let’s expose this ancient pattern and give modern women the wake-up call they desperately need. I will perform a brutal Judicial Audit on a pattern that is currently destroying the legacy of our sisters. We live in a society where men glorify the "side-chick,” collecting women like digital trophies, keeping them tucked away in hidden arrangements, and feeding them the lie that if they just play their position long enough, they will eventually win the crown. These women think that as soon as the wife is out of the picture, she is next in line to be the new wife. Wrong! History has already written the verdict on this hustle. If you want to know what a man actually does when his covenant falls apart, you have to look at the Court of King David. The Ancient Blueprint: The Bypassed Roster King David was a man of intense passion, and before he fully understood the strict boundaries of t...

David’s Census | Pride, Sin, & Law | When Numbering Becomes a Snare

  We all love a good metric. Whether it’s the number of followers on Facebook or Instagram, the number of subscribers on YouTube, the number of views or likes on a video, the balance in a bank account, or the square footage of a home, humans have a natural tendency to quantify their success. In ancient history, for a king, that metric was "swords." The story of David’s census in 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21 is often misunderstood as a simple error. In reality, it is a profound lesson on the subtle shift from trusting in the Provider (YAH) to trusting in the provision. The Weight of Silver We often think of silver as wealth, but in the Tanakh, it was a ransom. For King David, nine months of counting over 1.2 million men was meant to measure his strength, but because he forgot the silver, he only measured his debt. Let’s look at why David’s greatest military survey became his greatest spiritual failure. 1. The Law: The Ransom for the Soul (Exodus 30:11-16). To understand w...
