Bean Cakes Recipes

These bean cakes are yummy and great for you. Served with the salsa, it makes a very colorful and festive presentation. I serve these with a lite side salad. Plenty of protein and fiber. Even my meat loving hubby loves this meal.

Make a meatless main dish that's high on flavor and fiber. Chili powder, cumin, cayenne and salsa elevate the flavor, while cereal adds crunch and fiber.

For convenience, use canned black beans instead of the dried variety in this recipe. Although canned beans typically contain more sodium than home-cooked beans, you can rinse and drain them before use to help lessen the amount of sodium.

Simple Vegetarian Side

Patties that are filled with flavor and vitamins. Great for a summer grill out.

Extremely filling and they freeze well too. Use vegan ingredients if you prefer. These are good plain or served on hamburger buns.

This is one of my favorite recipes.

High in fiber...maybe a little high in calories, but filling and nutritious! I add a little cilantro to top mine off!

This is based on a very old southern recipe I remember as child. My Grandmother would make them with left over black eye peas. I made a few changes and tried to make them healthier.

These make a nice entree or an appetizer. You can broil them in the oven rather than fry them to make them lower in fat.
