These Easy Vegan Black Bean Burgers ever that are vegan, meatless and oil-free! From Vegan Richa’s Everyday Kitchen Cookbook!
EASY VEGAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS
I’m super excited to share today’s recipe, as it comes from one of my favorite bloggers, Richa Hingle. I’m sure everybody already knows her blog, Vegan Richa! Richa has just released her 2nd cookbook, Vegan Richa’s Everyday Kitchen, and it is beautiful. I have her first book as well, Vegan Richa’s Indian Kitchen. Both of her books are amazing, as are all of her recipes on her blog. I have told Richa many times how much I love her recipes, because they are always so delicious and full of flavors and I have made many of them. My family loves her recipes as well, which is saying a lot. My hubby is the pickiest eater on the planet, I guarantee it.
VEGAN RICHA’S EVERYDAY KITCHEN COOKBOOK
Well, today’s recipe comes from her book and the title is accurate. Easiest Black Bean Burgers. They were so easy and fast to throw together. They held together well and use everyday ingredients. They are quite spicy from the ginger and jalapenos though (which I loved), but for little kids, I would scale back on the jalapenos. You know what I also love about these burgers? They are oil-free!
Other amazing recipes from this book that you are going to want to devour: Red Curry Soup with Lentils, Bombay Potatoes and Peas, Buffalo Chickpea Tacos, Black Pepper Cheesy Mac and Broccoli, Richa’s Brownies
Here are a few shots from the book below. All photos done by Richa Hingle.

Now, back to these amazing burgers.
Richa’s book has every possible flavor combination you could be craving, including a ton of “Awesome Sauces” to use for her amazing recipes. She includes many different variations, tips and notes on how to make the recipes based on what you have.
You will all LOVE her book, I guarantee it. Be sure to enter the giveaway below for one lucky reader!
I did my best to showcase her amazing food in these burger photos and I have to admit, I kind of want to eat my own photo, lol! I topped these bean burgers with my homemade barbecue sauce, because I’m a BBQ sauce girl on burgers…way more than ketchup.

Easy Vegan Black Bean Burgers
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (60g) raw walnuts
- 1/2 cup (40g) old-fashioned oats
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 1/2-inch [1cm] knob fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup (30g) coarsely chopped onion
- 1 to 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeño slices
- 1 15-ounce [425g] can black beans or 1 1/2 cups (250g) cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup (10g) coarsely chopped cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seed or chia seed
- 2 to 3 tablespoons 10 to 15g dry breadcrumbs or flour (gluten-free if necessary)
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the walnuts, oats, garlic, ginger, onion, and jalapeños and pulse a few times, until the walnuts and onions are evenly chopped, 5 to 10 seconds. Add the beans, cilantro, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, pepper, and flax seed and process in 5-second intervals, until most of the beans break down. Do not puree—there should still be some whole beans for texture.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Cover the bowl and chill for 15 minutes. If the mixture is too wet, add the breadcrumbs and stir to combine.
- Divide the mixture into 7 to 8 equal portions. Shape into tightly packed patties. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (add oil if desired). Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Alternatively, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the patties on a medium baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the burgers for 15 minutes, flip, and bake another 10 minutes, or until the burgers are golden.

Hi Sue! Always love hearing from you! I love reading your feedbacks on my recipes and it’s wonderful to know you love Richa too! Everything sounds so yummy.
I’m a huge fan of Vegan Richa on Instagram and love all of the recipes!
Wow, me and my friends need those recipes in our life!! Looks so tasty! Can’t wait to try it out! Thanks Brandi!
I love both yours and Richa’s blogs! I’d love to win a copy so I can win my son over with delicious vegan food!
I love Richa’s Indian cookbook. Excited to cook from this one too.
Your recipes are fabulous – if you recommend this cookbook I KNOW it will be good! Thanks!
I’ve never bought a vegan cookbook before, but this one looks too good to pass up. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Well save a bite of photo for me!! You nailed the drool worthy drip of sauce side shot because even knowing there’s jalapeño in there I still want it? What you meant to say was “but for little kids (AND NATALIE), I would scale back on the jalapenos” lol. Richa’s blog is amazing and I am sure this beautiful book is too. She does super spicy all the way to sweet so well. I mean those brownies with all their crackly topped goodness❤️ Also walnuts in a burger, okay that’s just plain cool. Beautifully done, and isn’t it fun sometimes to not have to come up with the recipe and just get to focus on pretty pics and the eating? I always enjoy that!
I’ve been subscribed to Vegan Richa’s blog for some time and her recipes always look incredibly delicious. Her cookbook is probably filled with absolutely scrumptious recipes! And while it’s nice to follow recipes online, there’s nothing like having a real cookbook! That’s why I would love to win Vegan Richa’s Everyday Kitchen cookbook!
Love Richa and love her book! I have it on my shelf in line to review too. Now to decide what recipe to make! So many amazing possibilities. Great job on the burgers, you know I’m all in with those!
Thank you! Amazing book! It was hard to pick one for sure because they all look so amazing!
I have a couple of vegan blogs I check in on every week or so – this one, hot for food, and Vegan Richa! I would be excited to win her new book and cannot wait for yours to come out. Vegan bloggers have made my transition into diet change WAAAAY easier and won over my meat-and-potatoes significant other. Now he gets disappointed when I just want to be lazy order in!
Hmmm, thought I posted a comment the other day but I probably forgot to hit the submit button! LOL
Received the recipe via email, clicked on the said email and the first thought when I looked at the picture of this black bean burger was Wow, that really looks like a ‘beef’ burger!!
Kuddos to Richa and thank you Brandi for posted this recipe from her newest book. You both have an extraordinary talent of creating some wonderfully tasty vegan dishes!
Thank you so much Laura!
I am not a vegan yet but I have been incorporating more and more plant based meals into my diet and slowly eliminating animal products. I am loving the changes so far and I never feel deprived. I would love to check out this cookbook so I can get some ideas for meals for my family.
Even though I’m not vegan, my diet has actually shifted in that direction and continues to. I see many benefits of the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle!
i’m always looking for reliable vegan recipes that will turn out delicious!
I love your recipes. They are easy to follow and to make. I am also a Richa Hingle fan. I have her first book as I love Indian food. It would be great to also have her second book. It has excellent reviews.
My husband is a chef (not vegan, unfortunately), so I keep looking up recipes to surprise him and convince him to join me!!! I would love to win this book to try out all the recipes, the pictures look amazing!
I would love to win this cookbook because I love trying new recipes, and if you endorse it, I’m sure it’s amazing!
I would like to win this cookbook because we are making the transition to completely Vegan and I would love some recipes!
Your pictures make me want to take a giant bite of the burger!
Haha, awesome!
I’ve been eating vegan, oil free for 6 months and just got my daughters family started on vegan eating. She found your web site through Pinterest. We share recipes and I’d love to have this fabulous cook book for us to share.
Thank you for the great recipes, tomorrow I’m making your chaser dressing and picking up the two ingredients I need for these black bean burgers. They look really good.
We are just transitioning to a whole foods plant based diet, I believe this cookbook would be a great for us to help us on our way. Thanks for sharing the burger recipe it sounds amazing!
What an amazing cookbook! I love the sound of this recipe too – the addition of walnuts and oats sounds so interesting!
This cookbook has been on my Amazon wishlist since I read it was coming out. I love Vegan Richa recipes via her blog but prefer to cook from a cookbook.
I’ve been a long-time stalker of your blog, which I discovered via Happy Healthy Long Life. Of COURSE I’d love to make and eat all these goodies!
I made these black bean burgers today and the flavor is beyond amazing. They are so so good. But I did not make them into burgers I made them into meatballs or no meatballs I guess I should say. I think they will be fabulous in wraps, with spaghetti , Or even on a salad.
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed them!
I love finding new vegan recipes but most of all I love her recipes so having the cookbook would save me from having to look on the computer.
I have been leaning towards going vegan and would love a rich source of inspiration to cook from plus, the pictures look amazing in this! I have been weening us off of carbs, meats, etc. for a bit now, this would help seal the deal per se. I LOVE black bean burgers and make them regularly, always looking for different ways 🙂
Would love to try this and other recipes!!
Richa’s cookbook sounds amazing! I must get my hands on it 😀 These bean burgers sound like my kind of comfort meal 😀
Ohhh I really would love a bite of that burger! And Richa’s book sounds and looks great! Must get! 🙂
Thank you Anna, it’s a wonderful book!
Does anyone know or believe that any leftover patties would keep well for a few days? Maybe wrapped in saran wrap?
Yes, extras are fine wrapped in the fridge.
These are our new favs, they are so easy and so yummy. I double the recipe because one batch only makes about 4 good sized burgers.
Awesome! Yes, that is what I had put in my Notes as well, only got 4 as well.
This veggie burger looks delicious. Your photo makes me very hungry. Would love to win the cookbook. I don’t have one for Vegan dishes.
Has anyone made these and frozen them? I would like to make them ahead of time.
I’ve never frozen them, so I’m not sure, but I would think they’d be fine.
It tasted like cardboard. The super dry bean patty was made edible with loads of condiments and pickled onions. I will not make this recipe again.
Sorry you didn’t like them. This is not my recipe but from Vegan Richas cookbook noted in the post. Perhaps try these instead? This is linked to my black bean burgers and have all 5 star reviews, so give them a try if you can get the correct ingredients. https://staging.thevegan8.com/fat-free-baked-mexican-black-bean-burgers/
I just made these and oh my, it was wonderfully delicious. Not at all dry, with great flavors and texture. I did not have to add any breadcrumbs, the mixture was perfect without that. I didn’t add the fresh ginger because I didn’t have any, so I upped the cumin a little. I just made a half portion, which gave me 2 patties, because I had half a tin of black beans to use up. Delectable! I will definitely make these again.
