Vegan Quinoa And Black Bean Burger

/ fittygalz / Leave a comment

Hello healthy family! We hope you are doing wonderfully well on this cloudy autumnal Wednesday!

Whoever said that burger and fries were unhealthy was wrong – We made this amazing, delicious and protein packed burger with as little as 4 ingredients and only 160 kcal per patty! Literally the perfect combination.

The flavors of this recipe are well combined together giving the burger another dimension – can we all take a minute to celebrate what mother earth has gifted us with?

Quinoa is really rich in proteins, contains almost twice as much fiber as most grains, contains iron and magnesium and has low IG.

Beans are low in cholesterol, helps regulate blood sugars, high in proteins and is full of fiber!

Convinced that this burger is right for you? Let’s get cooking shall we? 

Ingredients

For 5 patties –

100g black or red beans

100g cooked quinoa

100g oats

2 tbsp tomato purée

Method

Start my mashing your beans and add all other ingredients gradually while mixing everything well with a spoon.

Add in salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and oregano.

Mix well and start form little patties.

Pop in the oven for 25 mins at 180° or grill them.

Serve with a side salad and some FittyFries of course 😉
