Directions
Step One
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Step Two
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
Step Three
In the bowl of a food processor, add the beans and pulse them for 30 seconds until they are combined and start to form a batter.
Step Four
Add the onion and garlic and pulse for another 15 seconds.
Step Five
Add the eggs, cumin, salt, and pepper and pulse for a final 15-20 seconds until all ingredients are incorporated.
Step Six
Pour in the breadcrumbs and oats and pulse just until they incorporate into the batter.
Step Seven
Divide the mixture into 6 portions with your hands, form them into round patties, then place them on the prepared pan, pressing them down gently with your palm so they're burger shaped.
Step Eight
Bake the burgers for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through until they're lightly crisp on the edges and lightly browned.
Step Nine
Serve the burgers hot on buns with the avocado slices, lettuce and tomato. Use ketchup and mustard or any other toppings if desired.
