Ingredients

• cooked chickpeas - 240 grams
• gochujang - 2 tablespoons
• garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• oats - 50 grams
• fresh cilantro (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• burger buns - 2
• avocado (sliced) - 1/2
• lettuce leaves - 2
• sliced tomato - 1 medium

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
2. Add gochujang, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, oats, chopped cilantro, and lemon juice to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
4. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.
5. While the patties are cooking, prepare your burger buns by toasting them lightly, if desired.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun, adding slices of avocado, a lettuce leaf, and a slice of tomato. Top with any additional desired condiments.
