Instructions
- In a small bowl mix together ground flax seed and water and let sit for 5 minutes. This will form a flax ‘egg’.
- In a large bowl, add black beans, kidney beans, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, coriander, balsamic vinegar, and wholemeal flour and mash with potato masher or fork. Mash until it holds together, and everything is well combined, but some chunks remain.

- Refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes to help firm.
- Using your hands, form mixture into 6 patties.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat (Alternatively, brush with olive oil to prevent sticking). Cook burgers for approximately 5 minutes per side until charred.
- Once cooked, glaze burgers with barbeque sauce
- Add burger to whole grain or wholemeal bun and serve with desired fixings. Pictured with pickled onion, sprouts, and avocado.
