For the Burgers
ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon ground flax seed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons water
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 cup canned garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons quick oats
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs, divided
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
For the Maple Dijon Sauce
ingredients
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup dijon mustard
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Poke holes in the sweet potatoes to let out steam. Cook for 45-60 minutes, until soft and fork tender. Let cool until able to handle, then mash and measure out 1 cup.
Step 2
Combine the water and ground flax seed in a small bowl and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, mash the garbanzo beans, leaving some beans partially intact. Add the cooked sweet potato, quick oats, 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs, onion, spices and salt. Mix, then add the flax seed mixture and stir together.
Step 4
Form into four equal-sized burger. Then, coat each side with the remaining breadcrumbs and put them in a lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat. After approximately 5 – 7 minutes, flip the burgers. Once those burgers form a nice crispy brown surface on each side, remove them from the pan and sprinkle them with a small pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 5
While those burgers are cooking, prep your Maple Dijon Sauce by combining the maple syrup and mustard in a small bowl.
Step 6
While you’re waiting for the second side to cook, prep your other toppings. I like to use lettuce, tomato and sometimes a bit of sliced avocado! If you’re like me and love a toasted bun, now would be the time to place those buns in the hot pan to lightly toast on each side.
Step 7
Assemble your burgers and toppings on the buns, then drizzle with sauce.
