Good afternoon! I’m loving reading all your comments on my Aurorae yoga mat giveaway post! Keep ‘em coming 
Standing in front of my fridge awhile ago, I spied some black beans waited to be used up, so I decided to make homemade black bean burgers for lunch!
Doesn’t it look a lot like a real burger?? Weird.
Anyway, these were super quick, easy, and tasty!
Homemade Black Bean Spinach Burgers
(makes two patties)
Ingredients:
-
1 C black beans (rinsed and drained)
-
1 C fresh spinach
-
2 Tbsp. whole wheat pastry (or regular) flour
-
1 small garlic clove
-
1/2 tsp. olive oil
-
1/4 tsp. cumin
-
1/4 tsp. chili powder
-
Juice from half a lemon
Instructions:
Toss it all into a food processor and whirl away! (Or you can do this by hand for a chunkier texture — just chop the spinach separately.)
Once it’s mixed, form into two patties. Toss them onto a skillet coated with cooking oil and cook on medium low for about 10 minutes, flipping every once in awhile, until they are evenly warm and have a bit of a crust on them.
I enjoyed mine on a whole wheat sandwich thin with lots of ketchup (organic… no HFCS!!) I also had a huge salad and an orange!
Back to studying — we have a quiz in Anatomy & Physiology this afternoon… arg. This class covers SO much information so quickly, and the teacher is horrible. Bad combination!
Have a good one!
wow, these look like the real thing! definitely a must try…maybe i’ll use canellini beans for an italian take? love how easy it is!
I am so impressed – that seriously looks great, Anne!
These look great! I have a dumb question — would a blender work if I don’t have a food processor? I know, I know, I need to get a food processor
Yummm!!!
Good luck on your quiz! I had my Physiology midterm yesterday – it was rough. You’re right, it’s tons of material in a short span of time!
My husband just walked by my computer, looked at your picture of your lunch and said “Whoa…that burger looks GOOD!” lol– must be a good one!
These look awesome!! Another reason for me to get a food processor–I’m definitely going to make this happen sometime next week
I love black bean burgers – so tasty!!! Even Mr BBB loves them
Those look awesome! I was craving a burger SO bad tonight and I saw your recipe and got so excited … then I realized that I had no beans
But I will try these! You are so creative girl!
bookmarking! These look awesome!! (Also – I made your granola bars and they get two thumbs up from the hubs and I!)
Yum, yum, yum, yum, YUM!!!! I can’t wait to make these!!!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

oooh, i loved your black bean pumpkin burgers so i’m definitely making these when i get back to my kitchen.
Anne, have you tried freezing and reheating these? I’d love to make my own to save money on buying my beloved BBQ Sunshine Burgers.
Gosh, I don’t envy you on the studying front, but your burger is a different story
I forgot how much you like ketchup
Oh, yayyyy! Thank you so much for the recipe, they look yummie!
Hi! I just made these burgers as well as the lemon garlic string beans, and posted about it on my blog. The recipes were super! Thank you for sharing!
I just made these for the first time tonight and they are wonderful! As a college student, these are perfect; they’re inexpensive and make for a healthy, balanced meal. These are definitely making it into my rotation.
Thanks for the great recipe!
Yay! Glad they were a hit!
