I’ve made these chickpea burgers twice now, and they get eaten up quickly even if I make a large amount. Very yummy. You can even eat them without any bread. Maybe have one along side of some steamed veggies or a salad.

Add in the flavor and spices to your taste. I will give measurements, but if you like it more spicy, then go ahead and play around!

How to Make Chickpea Burgers

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (I used about 3/4 of a can of chickpeas)
* 1/2 cup whole grain oats
* 1/3 cup chick pea flour/regular flour
* 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 tsp cumin
* 1 tsp curry powder
* Cayenne & Ground Black Pepper (to your taste)
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 2 tbs lemon juice
* 1 tbs natural peanut butter
*  3-4 kale leaves, stems removed and finely chopped
* handful of pepitas and sunflower seeds
* handful of thompson raisins
* 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil (one for mixture and one for the skillet)

Directions

1. Get out a large bowl. Put the chickpeas in a food processor and process until fully processed. Add chickpeas to the bowl.
2. Add in the rest of the ingredients (except for 1 tbs of olive oil) and mix well.
3. Lay out some parchment paper or a cutting board and sprinkle a small amount of flour. Start forming patties with the chickpea mixture and lightly flour them.
4. Heat 1 tbs olive oil on a nonstick skillet on medium-low heat. Once heated, add the patties and let cook for a couple of minutes. Flip them over and let the other side cook. Both sides should be a toasty brown color and slightly crispy.
5. Remove from heat and serve.

Some topping ideas are romaine lettuce, spinach, hummus, horse radish, tomato slices, alfalfa sprouts and spicy mustard.
