Easy Veggie Burger Recipe

Yield: 8 burgers
This Quick and Easy Veggie Burger Recipe is vegan, easy to make, and tastes so delicious! It comes together in just 25 minutes!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups cooked sticky brown rice*
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil , (+ 1-2 tablespoons for cooking burgers)
  • 8 ounces white mushrooms , diced
  • ½ cup corn, (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos, (you can use soy sauce as a replacement if needed)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup oats, (use gluten-free oats to make the burgers gluten-free)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil spray

Instructions
 

  • Prep the rice by either warming up some cooked rice so it has a sticky texture again or using microwavable frozen rice, like Trader Joe's carries.
  • In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat, then add mushrooms, coconut aminos, and corn to saute for about 5-6 minutes. The mushrooms should be soft.
  • In a food processor, add the remaining ingredients (except for olive oil for the griddle) and process for about 15 seconds.
  • Reheat the large pan you were using for the mushrooms or heat a griddle over medium heat and coat with olive oil.
  • Using a spoon, scoop out a big spoonful of the mixture and form a patty, shaping it using your hands. Place on the griddle. Repeat with remainder of the mixture, forming about 8 patties total depending on how big you make them.
  • Cook the burgers for about 6-7 minutes on the first side, until the bottoms have turned golden brown.
  • Spray the tops of the burgers with a vegetable oil spray and then use a spatula to flip. Cook on the other side for about 3 minutes, until this side has turned golden brown. Note: If you’re cooking these on a grill, oil the grates first and carefully flip the burgers after about 3-4 minutes. Then cook for another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and heated through.

Notes

*The burgers hold together well when using freshly made rice so that the rice is sticky. I like using Trader Joe’s microwavable 3-minute brown rice for a quick way to achieve this! 
Serve with your favorite burger toppings and a side of fries or a salad.
