Blackened Black Bean Burgers (Gluten Free)

One of my favorite things about the wonderful food events and recipe carnivals on the blogosphere is that they get my creative juices flowing, figuratively, and, ultimately, some other types of juices are often created—the really tasty ones from some surprisingly good recipes, like from these naturally gluten-free Blackened Black Bean Burgers.

Linda (Gluten-Free Homemaker) announced “Create a Burger” as this month’s challenge at the beginning of the month. I knew I’d try to participate, but nothing was really coming to me. Sometimes I crave a hamburger, but not often. I enjoy meat, but not usually ground beef. So as time went on, the more I thought about it, the more I thought I’d make a veggie burger or a fish “burger.” I’ve seen some great ones featured on my favorite blogs. (See listing at the end of my post.) Then, I made Blackened Catfish using Ashlie’s recipe from her post at Carrie’s 30 Days of Quick and Easy Meals event. Wow. Such a simple, but sensational recipe. I had tweaked her blackened seasoning mix to be a little less spicy for our tastes and to work with the seasonings I had on hand. Again, great recipe!

How I Ended Up Making Blackened Black Bean Burgers

Still thinking of Linda’s challenge, I looked in the pantry thinking I’d make a veggie burger using chickpeas (you guys know I love chickpeas … remember my Simple Roasted Chickpeas?). Sadly, there were no chickpeas. Chickpeas just don’t last long enough in my house. I need a chickpea delivery person stopping by with my weekly supply … but I digress.

What did greet me in the pantry were black beans, which I also enjoy very much. I placed the cans on the counter by the stove. Right beside the stove was the blackened seasoning mix still out from making the catfish dish the night before. Oh, yeah, the ideas were coming together then and the result was these blackened black bean burgers. They are wonderful. Naturally gluten free, dairy free, soy free, sugar free, and vegan, if needed. Sooo very easy to make, too.

I’ve made two versions of this recipe, one with an egg and one without. (I admit I feel a bit guilty now when I use eggs in recipes for you folks who can’t tolerate them or are vegan.) I’m happy to report that both versions are terrific. They even look like traditional hamburgers and have a somewhat similar taste and texture. I’m a little amazed and a lot delighted!

Here’s a step-by-step pictorial and then the recipe.

Blackened Black Bean Burgers Recipe (Gluten Free)

Yield:

Blackened Black Bean Burgers (Gluten Free)

Blackened Black Bean Burgers (Gluten Free)

Hearty gluten-free vegetarian burgers (with vegan option) that will delight the veggie-loving members of the family AND the meat lovers!

Ingredients

Burger Ingredients

  • Two 15-ounce cans of black beans, drained well and mashed (see notes)
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten (optional, see notes)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus some in skillet)
  • 2 tbsp onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp celery, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup almond flour] (or more if needed for binding; and [gluten-free all-purpose flour can be substituted if you wish)

Blackened Seasoning Mix Ingredients (for sprinkling on burgers--use about 1 to 1 ½ tsp per burger)

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground oregano
  • ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning (mine includes thyme, salt, oregano, mustard powder, red pepper, black pepper, and sage, but you could simply use thyme with good results)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Add about one tbsp of olive oil to skillet. Preheat to medium or medium high setting.
  2. Mash beans using a hand masher (or back of a spoon) on a flat plate.
  3. Mix beans, egg (if used), olive oil, onion, celery, and almond flour.
  4. Form into patties. Sprinkle seasoning mix on one side of each burger.
  5. Add burgers with seasoned side down to preheated skillet. Sprinkle seasoning on other side of burgers.
  6. Cook about 3 minutes or so on each side to desired crispness.
  7. Flip using two spatulas, if necessary, to ensure burgers stay together.
  8. Treat as you would any other burger; e.g., place on a bun; serve on lettuce leaves; top with ketchup, mustard, cheese, or special sauce (I just had one for breakfast topped with a Polynesian-type sauce that I had leftover from making pork chops last night—divine!).

Notes

Makes eight burgers about 3 ½ inches in diameter.Blackened seasoning mix adapted from Ashlie of The Delshad DuoIf omitting the egg, you may need to add more almond flour and your burgers might be slightly softer in texture. Therefore, cooking a bit longer may be needed if you want a more burger-like texture. (See readers' notes in comments for the changes they made for egg-free versions.) For either version of this recipe, remember not to mash the beans so much that you have a mushy mess; you want some whole or half beans remaining for a better burger appearance, taste, and texture. (That means the mixture should not look like it’s been through a food processor.) I’m sure these burgers could also be broiled or grilled, instead of pan cooked. Broiling/grilling about 2-3 minutes on each side should do the trick and give a very nice blackened appearance and taste. I actually slightly undercooked the burgers shown here just to provide better photos.

    Hi Shirley, I love the combination of spices that you have with your black beans. (I love black beans like you love chickpeas.) Made me laugh at the thought of a weekly delivery person bringing your chickpeas! Thanks for the recipe.

      Hi Debbie–Although we both frequent all the best gf blogs, I think this is the first time you’ve commented on gfe–I’m honored, and welcome! 🙂 Thanks re: the burgers … they are very good. They go quickly at my house! I’ve got some more veggie burgers planned; they are so good for you when made with just the right ingredients.

      Glad you appreciated my need for a delivery person. 😉 Hey maybe, we can get a bean delivery circuit going! LOL I did have a handsome vendor in a three-piece suit bring 3 lbs of chicken livers to my door one time, but that’s a story for a different day.

      Hi Wendy–Nice to see you again! 🙂 I hope you enjoy them when you make them. FYI–If you use an egg, you might not need the olive oil in the burgers. I’m going to update the recipe to reflect that. Veggie burgers could so easily be made gluten free for all, with the use of almond flour, or less expensive tapioca flour as Diane mentioned. It aggravates me when I see products that don’t need to contain gluten. Maybe another mission for us all to jump onboard with … writing vendors and saying hey, you have this whole untapped market if you only changed this ingredient, ensured no cross contamination, etc. and, oh, BTW, look who else is serving gf folks and seeing their revenue grow leaps and bounds. These veggie burgers are so easy to make though that I still probably wouldn’t buy processed ones. I do know there are some gf ones out there and I don’t buy those. I guess I’m just not the ideal consumer. 😉

Yes, I love the serendipity of recipe creation using ideas in our wonderful gf blogosphere. 🙂 Being able to sprinkle the tasty blackened seasoning on at the end is my kind of easy. Again, I’m thoroughly enjoying your series! Need to get my post to you later today.

    I am the same way with chickpeas. I just had some for lunch actually. 🙂 I have a can of black beans in my cupboard that’s been staring at me. I’ve been saving them to make black bean brownies, but now I kind of want to make these instead.

      Iris–We could be the chickpea chicks or the garbanzo girls! 😉 What do you think? Personally, I prefer chickpea chicks. LOL My recommendation is to buy more black beans and make both the brownies and the burgers! That will be a day you’re sure to get in plenty of protein and fiber, and be very happy with your choices, too. 🙂

      Hi Kim–Thanks, dear! 🙂 Another chickpea and black bean buddy! 😉 I bet your kids would like these. An easy way to get some veggies in them. Feel free to get inventive, too. For example, if they really like sweet red pepper, then add some finely chopped sweet red pepper to the burgers. Basically, though I think if you add cheese (and perhaps the ubiquitous ketchup) to any burger, kids will eat it. LOL But, these are very good and would probably be liked by all on their own merits.

    I love black bean patties or burgers. I like how you added the seasonings to the outside to blacken them. Great idea! Need to make these for my veg son who keeps complaining there’s nothing here to eat. Actually, I think I’ll print out the recipe and hand it to him when he gets back from work today and he can cook! I also add a little tapioca flour to the mix and I find it helps the burgers stay together better. I’ll even dust them before frying up for a crispy outside.

    Can’t wait to eat these for dinner tonight!

      Hey Diane–I’m wondering if your son made these and what you thought. Tapioca flour is a wonderful idea. I was trying to keep them minamilist and grain free, too (although I didn’t mention that). I’m wondering if your son is vegan or just vegetarian. I mention that because I think if you add the egg, you might not need the little bit of olive oil in the burgers. Of course, any added flour (almond or tapioca) would probably balance it all out. I think I’m going to try some cornmeal next time, too. Love crispy outsides as you do.

      Please report back when you get a moment. Thanks! 🙂

        Shirley- well that was wishful thinking on my part. No cooking last night, but I did get taken out to the movies. Saw Knight & Day and I really liked it. Andy is Vegetarian but he does try to eat vegan until 5pm. Maybe I’ll get to sample these over the weekend.

Thanks for the movie review … I was wondering about that one. Interesting approach to vegan/vegetarianism, but may be shared by many. Whatever works best, I say. I’m sure you’ll come up with a great improvised version this weekend. I know it’s hard not to tweak …

      Hey Maggie–I think they’ll hold together fine, but yes, tapioca, almond flour, or even cornmeal (can’t remember if you eat corn) would all do the binding trick and add flavor and crispiness. I love crispy! 😉 Tahini! Hadn’t thought of that. Probably don’t need it, but it would add some nice flavor and interest I think. Will look forward to your report, dear. 🙂

    Hi Shirley

    I saw your tweet and I am just sitting here drooling over these burgers at my computer. If it weren’t so late, I’d be making some of these right now!
    I love the blackened seasoning – in fact, they use a similar seasoning at Wahoo Fish Tacos that is so good. I haven’t had it in so long. Thanks to this recipe I can make it myself 🙂

    Don’t you just love happy accidents? Most often it’s the the things that come together so effortlessly that taste the best:)

And, thanks so much for mentioning the fish tacos … love those. We’ll be having fish tacos very soon thanks to your suggestion! Depending upon how spicy those fish tacos were, you might want to look at Ashlie’s original seasoning mix to add a little more heat, if you prefer that. I do love the happy accidents … so much of cooking is a bunch of happy accidents or subbing an ingredient for another you don’t have–fun! 🙂

    I love chickpeas too, have you tried them in chocolate chip cookies yet? http://www.adventuresofaglutenfreemom.com/2009/10/chocolate-chip-cookies-with-a-healthy-twist/

    The recipe is from Jessica Seinfeld’s “Deceptively Delicious” cookbook, and they ARE deceptive (and guilt-free in my book!) 😀

    I’ve been wanting to do a Lentil burger or fritter. I might try your recipe using lentils. I think your spice blend would work well with it. I also like that you posted a spice blend with your recipe, I’ve been glutened a couple times from spice blends and find it’s best to do them yourself.

      June 25, 2010 at 5:54 pm

      Tracee–A lentil variation does sound good! Fritters are great, because you really can just be concerned with small amounts sticking together (although it shouldn’t be an issue here). And, somehow, those smaller bites often just taste better IMHO. 😉 I really like making my own spice blends, too. Even if they don’t contain gluten, they often contain horrid food dyes. For some reason, manufacturers think that we want our spices to be bright orange or yellow. They must appeal to some folks, but not to me. Anyway, hope you like the recipe when you give it a try! Oh, and BTW, added you to my blog roll. Thanks so much for having me on yours already! 🙂

    I will keep you posted and hopefully get a pic if I can get my act together while I am entertaining! LOL
    By the way, how do you think these would hold up on the grill instead of being cooked in a skillet?
    Thanks for another great recipe! We have been eating a ton of beans lately! Kelly (Spunky Coconut) posted a delicious recipe for Waffles the other day that used Great Northern Beans. The kids scarfed them down!

      Kelly is the queen of beans, isn’t she? I love all her bean recipes. Must try the waffles! Did you see Amy’s chickpea salad on Carrie’s 30 Days of Quick and Easy? Another yummy bean recipe I must try. 😉

      Hi Renee–It’s always great to meet another chickpea chick! 😉 I need to follow your lead and just have cans and cans. I usually only have 3 or 4 on hand, and then use them up promptly because I love them so. I have a new recipe I’m going to make with chickpeas tonight. A little tasty appetizer. 😉 Don’t forget that, per the reminders in some of the readers’ comments, chickpeas can also be used to take the place of flours in cookies and cakes. 🙂

      Gluten being added to products unnecessarily makes me sooo crazy. The veggie burgers are a good example of that. I mean we can send a man to the moon and all that, but we can’t have all veggie burgers without gluten? RiDIculous. Anyway, hope you enjoy these when you give them a try!

      Hi Megan–Here’s an official welcome to gfe! 🙂 I’m so glad you enjoyed these blackened black bean burgers. They’re one of my faves for sure! I love blackened anything. 😉 Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, dear!

    Oh yummy!!! I just made these for the first time! I have been waiting to make them! DELICIOUS!! Keeper recipe for sure!! My husband who is a picky eater loved them as well! The seasoning is fantastic! I used coconut oil in the skillet and omitted the egg and used 1/4 cup more of flour! Perfect amount! I also didn’t have any almond flour…but, I did have garbanzo bean flour and that added more flavor! Love this recipe! Thank you Shirley!

      Hi Megan–I’m thrilled that you love these black bean burgers and that you made them egg free! 🙂 I’m also glad to know that garbanzo bean flour worked. Now that you have reminded me of this favorite recipe, I plan to make some of these today for Son when he stops by. 😉

      Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, Megan. It really helps others to know about great recipes. So you’re welcome, of course, but thank you!

    Can’t wait to try these! I love black beans, and these look excellent. Thanks for all the great recipes. We had your garlic lime chicken and garlic cheese biscuits last night – those are two of our favorites.

    These look AWESOME!!! I love the sound of all the herbs and spices! These are so similar to mine and yet so different!

    Isn’t it wonderful that by changing the herbs and spices you can create a different burger from very simple ingredients!

    I will try your version next time we make them.

    Thank you

      Hi Vicky–I have to say that the seasoning mix for this recipe is pretty awesome. I make a big batch and use it for other veggie burgers, too. And by the way, I was surprised to see that I had commented on your recipe back in September. I remembered after I saw my comment/read your post though. 😉 I’ve been making lots of veggie bean burgers lately; they’re so versatile as you say. Great way to use up little odds and ends of veggies, too.

    I love black bean burgers, but I’ve never tried to make them! Maybe it’s time I do. 😉 Thanks so much for sharing this at Savoring Saturdays, Shirley!
