Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°.

  • Add mushrooms, pepper, garlic, and onions. Saute for about 6-8 minutes.
  • In a food processor or with a fork, slightly mash the black beans.
  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a large bowl, combine beans, vegetable mixture, spices, remaining ingredients, oatmeal and eggs.
  • Scoop mixture using a 1/3 c. measuring cup and place mounds on parchment paper. Form into patties.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake another 10 minutes.
  • Use immediately or freeze for later use.
