Easy Vegan Quinoa Bean Burger Patties

My go-to bean burger recipe – packed full of plant protein, making for a hearty and filling patty that can be served in many different ways!

I have been repeatedly asked about sharing a recipe for bean burgers. They are something I often whip up and throw together in the kitchen and share on my Instagram stories. But I have not had a measured recipe to share. That is, until now!

Ingredients

I figured it was about time I got into the kitchen and tested a bean burger recipe. The result was an easy-to-make, hearty, and filling burger patty. I used a number of ingredients from Buy Whole Foods Online that I love to have stocked in my pantry, including:

• Quinoa – This ancient grain is one of my favourite bases for any meal or recipe. It’s high in protein and fibre, easy to cook in about 15 minutes, and works in so many different recipes!
• Black beans – Black beans not only add a great source of protein, fibre, and nutrients, but also flavour and a meaty texture to this recipe. Feel free to swap in another kind of bean if you prefer, but black beans work particularly well.
• Shelled hemp seeds – Hemp seeds are yet another great source of plant protein, and are also high in omega fatty acids. They add a lovely creamy texture to this recipe, and are also fabulous for sprinkling over meals to add extra crunch and texture.
• Nutritional yeast – If you follow my Instagram stories, you’ll know that nutritional yeast stars in a lot of my savoury dishes. I love to pile it on top of meals. It adds a fantastic cheesy flavour. I always buy my nutritional yeast fortified with B12, an essential nutrient to supplement if you’re vegan (and even if you’re not!).
• Pickling spice – This ready-made pickling spice makes pickling vegetables a breeze. It’s packed with flavour! The ingredients include bay leaves, allspice berries, bird’s eye chillies, black peppercorns, cloves, ginger root, coriander seeds, yellow mustard seeds, and crushed cassia.
• Apple cider vinegar – I believe apple cider vinegar is essential to any stocked pantry. So I was super excited to discover that Buy Whole Foods Online makes their own organic, raw, unpasteurised and unfiltered apple cider vinegar with the mother (strands of good bacteria and enzymes that can give the liquid a cloudier appearance).

You may remember me talking about Buy Whole Foods Online in the past here on the blog. They are my favourite place to buy ingredients in bulk from. I also collaborated with them on my Easy Vegan Banana Bread recipe!

To top off my burger patties, I decided to try my hand at pickling cucumber slices, adding that extra bit of flavour and pizazz. Buy Whole Foods Online has a simple pickling spice recipe on their website that I used. Check it out if you’re interested in trying your hand at pickling veggies yourself.
