Ingredients
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water)
- 8 oz. Baby Bella mushrooms, roughly chopped
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 cup + 1 tablespoon plain bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts
- 1/2 cup cooked low-sodium black beans, drained
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced with ends removed

- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Serve with
- Burger buns of choice
- Tomato
- Avocado
- Lettuce
- Teriyaki Sauce
- Red onions
Instructions
- Prepare the flax egg by mixing together the flaxseed meal and water in a small bowl and setting it aside for 15 minutes to thicken.
- Add the mushrooms to a food processor and pulse until broken down into small pieces. Add in the remaining ingredients except for the breadcrumbs and pulse for about 45-60 seconds, or until almost smooth. Make sure that the mixture is still chunky and not smooth or else your burgers will be soggy!
- Place the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the breadcrumbs. Mix until uniform and then set into the freezer for about 20 minutes to set.* In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Once the mixture has set, fill a 1/2-cup measure with the burger mixture and form it into a thick (1/2″-minimum) patty. add to pan. Repeat to form 6 patties total. Place them on the lined baking sheet and into the oven. Bake for 35 minutes, flipping after 20.
- Allow the burgers to cool completely before serving and then dig in!

Before the cooking started, I thought the pizza would win. The pizza does look really delicious. That crust! I have to say, the burgers won out in the end. Good job, and thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much for watching, Mary! 🙂
Can these burgers be frozen?
Hi Amy! We have no tested out freezing these burgers, but from my past experience with veggie burgers, I would suggest cooking them and freezing them cooked and then just warm them up on the stovetop or in the oven.
This was so good! Especially with ketchup. Definitely will make again! It goes well between the bun, or just on its own. Thanks for the recipe!
