| BEAN BURGERS |
These easy to make bean burgers can be made without a food processor! I've even gone as far as to use my hands to mash the beans, but you can of course use a potato masher if you don't want to get into the mix.
Recipe notes:
These burgers are soy free!
Feel free to switch up the type of beans you use! In terms of macronutrient breakdowns most beans have a very similar profile.
These are great for meal prep and can definitely be frozen. Just make the batter, form into patties, and place a slice of parchment paper between each patty and freeze!
