Ridiculously Easy Baked Falafel Burgers

Veggies burgers make a great Sunday night dinner. I was looking for a new recipe, found a recipe for falafel burgers, didn't have all the ingredients so I changed it up and made this!


2 cans of garbanzo beans
1 cup of oats
2 tablespoons of flax meal
1 tablespoon cumin
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1-2 teaspoons onion powder
2-3 tablespoons of lemon
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Garlic to taste (I used ~1 medium clove)
Salt to taste (I used about 1 teaspoon with unsalted garbanzo beans)
A little of the garbanzo bean liquid (from the can) may be necessary for the mix… (I used about 1/4 of a cup, but add it slowly--a tablespoon at a time.)

Put the garbanzo beans and the oats in the food process to process them first. Add EVERYTHING ELSE in at once and processed until well mixed and very smooth in texture. (You may need to add a little of the liquid from the garbanzo beans.)

Form into patties and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes flipping half-way through.

This recipe made 10 medium patties. They had a great texture and held together very well. They weren't too moist, so they cooked up really well, too.

Here they are right before the oven.

Serve with hummus on top if you like. (We had tomatoes and pickles, too. The girls did ketchup and vegan mayo.)

The nice thing about this recipe is that you can make it and then make hummus in the food processor WITHOUT washing. It is very exciting to me when I can make 2 things in the same food processor or blender without a wash in between… What does that say about me?

Oh wow… I just went back to this recipe. How funny. I made this new recipe from another site, but it is so similar! I guess there are only so many ways to make a garbanzo bean burger.
