Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1-1/2 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Cooking spray
  • 8 light hamburger buns

Instructions

  • Preheat a skillet or sauté pan to medium heat.
  • Chop zucchini, onion, and carrot in a food processor about 20 seconds. (Push the "Chop" button if using the Ninja food processor)
  • Add applesauce and black beans. Blend 1-2 minutes, or until beans are fully mashed. (Push the "Puree" button if using the Ninja food processor)
  • Add in all of the remaining ingredients, except the buns. Blend 1-2 more minutes. (Push the "Puree" button again if using the Ninja food processor)
  • Measure and shape 1/2 cup of the bean mixture into a patty.
  • Spray the preheated pan with cooking spray and cook patties 4-5 minutes on each side.
  • Serve black bean patty on a light hamburger bun and top with toppings of your choosing. One black bean burger without any additional toppings is 7 WW SP. If you add 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise and 1/2 tablespoons ketchup to each burger, as picture below, it would make it 8 WW SP per garnished black bean burger.
