Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 400 g black beans, drained & rinsed
  • 3 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 Tbsp water flax egg
  • 3 Tbsp Biltong Style Marinade
  • ½ cup binding option choose one:

    Oat flour → for a lighter, wholesome patty

    Breadcrumbs → for a firmer, more traditional burger texture

    Chickpea flour → for the firmest, protein-rich patty with a slightly nutty taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare the beans
    Mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
  2. Make the flax egg
    In a small bowl, combine flaxseed and water. Let stand 5–10 minutes until thick and gel-like.
  3. Mix the pattie base
    Add the flax egg and Biltong Style Marinade to the beans. Stir in your chosen binding flour (oat, breadcrumbs, or chickpea flour). Mix well until combined. The mixture should be sticky but hold its shape. If too wet, add a little extra flour.
  4. Shape & chill
    Form into 4–6 patties. Place on a tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
  5. Cook
    Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry each patty for 3–4 minutes per
