Method
- Heat the oven to 325°F. Spread the beans on the baking sheet and bake 15 minutes, until they look dry and some skins split. This is the secret to burgers that are not mushy.
- Pulse the oats in the food processor into a coarse flour.
- Cook the onion in the olive oil over medium 5 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika and cumin for 30 seconds.
- Add the beans to the food processor with the oats and pulse until coarsely chopped, with some beans still in pieces. Turn into a bowl and mix in the onion, salt, egg, barbecue sauce and panko.
- Shape into 6 patties about 3/4 inch thick. Chill 15 minutes if they feel soft.
- Heat the vegetable oil in the skillet over medium and cook the patties 4 to 5 minutes per side, until crisp and heated through. Serve on toasted buns.
