# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine the ground flax and water. Stir and set aside.
02 -
In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a potato masher or fork. Leave roughly 1/4 of the beans whole.
03 -
Pulse cashews in a food processor until breadcrumb-sized pieces remain. Add to the bowl with black beans.
04 -
Add the flax egg mixture to the bowl along with all other burger patty ingredients. Mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon.
05 -
Using about 1/2 cup of mixture per patty, shape into patties approximately 3/4 inch thick.
06 -
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook 4 patties at a time for about 4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
07 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and bake patties for 20 minutes. Flip and bake for 15 more minutes.
08 -
Refrigerate patties for at least 30 minutes. Heat the grill to medium-high, brush patties with oil, and grill for about 4 minutes on each side.
09 -
Whisk together vegan mayo, ketchup, pickle relish, sugar, vinegar, and black pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate up to 1 week.
10 -
Serve patties on buns with burger sauce, mayo, ketchup, mustard, pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion, or other toppings.

Use gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond flour, or gluten-free oats for a gluten-free option.
03 -
Freeze cooked patties by wrapping them individually and storing in freezer-friendly containers.
04 -
Quinoa or white rice can substitute for brown rice. Chia seeds may replace flax.
05 -
Make patties ahead or refrigerate the mixture up to one day before cooking.
