• Cooked black beans - 150 grams
• Rolled oats - 50 grams

• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a food processor, blend the almonds until finely ground but not a paste.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground almonds, black beans, rolled oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
4. Form the mixture into two patties.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. While the patties are cooking, prepare the avocado sauce by mixing the mashed avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt.
7. Once the patties are cooked, toast the burger buns in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
8. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the patty, sliced tomato, and a generous dollop of avocado sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
9. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
