Ingredients
Ingredients: (makes 6 burgers)3.5 cups black beans (rinsed and drained)2 carrots, grated1/2 cup dry rolled oats1/4 cup sunflower seeds1 tbsp olive oil1/2 tsp cinnamon1/2 tsp cumin1/2 tsp chili powder1/2 tsp onion powder1 tsp sea salt1/4 tsp black pepper
Directions
To Prepare: Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Next, add the oats and sunflower seeds to your food processor and grind until coarsely chopped (they will still be a little chunky). Let it run for roughly 10 seconds. Grate the carrots, and then add to your mixture in the food processor. Add 3/4 of the beans, all spices, and the olive oil. Once all of this is in the food processor, give it a whir and mix it all together.

Spoon mixture into a mixing bowl and then fold in the rest of the whole, reserved beans. Wet your hands and then form into 6 medium sized patties. Place patties on a non-stick baking sheet or into a baking pan, and bake at 300 degrees for 40 minutes, turning once in the middle. If you want to grill these, pre-bake them for 30 minutes at 300, and then throw them on the grill to reheat and get a little extra browning.

Serving Size: Makes 6 medium-sized burgers.
