👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly, then transfer them to a large bowl and mash roughly with a fork or potato masher, leaving some whole for texture.
2. In a separate pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the sautéed vegetables to the mashed black beans, along with rolled oats, gluten-free breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
4. Divide the mixture and form into 1-inch thick patties. Place them on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
6. Serve the black bean burger patties immediately on toasted gluten-free buns with fresh lettuce and tomato slices, or any other desired toppings like avocado, pickles, or vegan mayo.
