The best part about these healthy, vegan quinoa burgers?

Unlike most homemade veggie burgers, you actually need NO food processor or blender to make them!

Simply combine the ingredients together in a bowl, mashing the beans with a fork and stirring everything until even. Then form into patties and fry or bake, just like you would with any other vegan or non-vegan burgers.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup tomato paste
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 3/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup cooked or canned pinto beans
  • burger buns and toppings of choice

Instructions 

  • Combine the quinoa, water, and 1/4 tsp of the salt in a pot. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 14 minutes or until fluffy. If you wish to bake instead of fry the burgers, preheat oven to 400 F. Mash beans fully, then stir together all ingredients, including the quinoa. Form patties, and either fry over medium heat in a little oil OR place on a greased baking sheet and bake on the center rack 15 minutes, flip carefully (smushing back together if they crack while flipping), and bake an additional 6 minutes. Let cool completely. They are delicate due to the lack of flour, but they do hold together nicely as long as you use a spatula to move the patties. Top with traditional burger toppings or pizza toppings (such as fresh basil and tomato sauce) as desired.

    Hi, can these be frozen?

    1. CCK Media Team says:

      Yes!

  4. Elissa says:

    I cooked them in a pan and they did not hold together at all. Maybe baking them in the oven will be better?

    5 stars
    These were great! I made them just as listed and had no problem with crumbling. Put it in a pita with pesto and little bit of mozzarella
    Will definitely make again.
    Also I mixed it the night before, held together nicely.

  6. Deborah says:

    Hi friends, could you please confirm the baking temperatur?. The video shows 350 and the instructions say 400. Also would you still recommend baking 15 minutes then flip and bake for 6 more minutes? Can’t t to try these?

    1. CCK Media Team says:

      Hi, yes we recommend baking and then flipping and then baking again. The recipe box is the most updated version (although the video version works too). Hope that helps!
