Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 cup chopped baby bella (cremini) mushrooms
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed with 6 tbsp water, allow it to sit for 5 minutes
- 1/3 cup cassava flour
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp coconut or olive oil, melted
- Optional but recommended: 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp parsley, 1 tsp basil, 1 tbsp tomato paste or sugar free ketchup
Instructions
Baking Option:
- Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the parchment paper with 1/2 tbsp melted coconut oil or olive oil.
- In a large food processor, pulse all of the ingredients together until smooth.
- Scoop about 1/2 cup of the quinoa burger batter into your palms and form it into a patty. Place onto a baking sheet and repeat for the remaining batter. You should get about 4-5 patties.
- Brush the remaining melted coconut oil or olive oil onto the tops of each patty and place into the oven to bake for 30 minutes.
- After about 20 minutes, flip the patties over to cook on the other side for the remaining time. The quinoa burgers should be browned and completely set.
- Serve on vegan hamburger buns and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Grilling Option:
- For this option, you’ll still need to bake them for a few minutes before grilling, so complete steps 1-4, modifying step 4 to only bake for 20 minutes.
- After 10 minutes in the oven, flip the patties onto the other side to cook on the opposite side.
- Remove the patties from the oven and prepare the grill. Cook each patty on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Serve on vegan hamburger buns and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
