    Chickpea and Lentil Veggie Burgers

    May 12, 2014 • Main Dish

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Hi guys, what a busy weekend! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and Mother’s Day. Marty and I went non-stop on Saturday, we had a bunch of things to get done that we kept putting off. You know, those errands that are necessary but can be put off for a while… I know I am not alone in this feeling! Our new favorite thing that we make a priority is to take our pups to the forest preserve and let them run around! We have a small backyard so they absolutely love being able to run free in the huge field, chase each other and smell all the doggy smells. Chuy and Taz are becoming best little buds and it melts my heart ♥ Marty and I also took a fun little spin in our neighbors new car! Saturday was the PERFECT day for a joy ride in a convertible. (I had a major Cali-Girl-Wanna-Be moment!) 


    My brother graduated from college on Saturday so my parents were away all weekend helping him pack up and celebrating his big day. I wasn’t able to see my mom but I will see her this week to make up for it. Last week, I dropped off my Key Lime Coconut Raw Vegan Cheesecake Cups to her as an early Mother’s Day gift along with some other goodies. Have you tried making them yet?! I would love to see your pictures if you make them! I went to my grandma’s house on Sunday for a late lunch and she even made a vegan dish for everyone! While my family has been very understanding of my new lifestyle, its difficult for some to wrap their mind around the fact that I get protein from sources other than meat, and I am healthier than ever before, but that’s alright. I understand it’s not the norm and I would never force this lifestyle upon anyone, but I sure can show them through this blog 😉 My family finally got to meet Taz too! He had plenty of kisses for my baby cousin McKenna. Honestly there is nothing cuter than a baby and a puppy together!!!! 

     


    The Chickpea & Lentil Veggie Burger recipe I am sharing today took me a few times to get just right! Not every recipe is perfect the first time but I am so happy to finally share it because you will LOVE these burgers! I found that the oat flour is the most necessary ingredient to hold this burger together. Don’t try using a flax “egg” like I did! It will fall apart. Marty ate the burger on the left and I ate the burger on the right! He certainly enjoyed it because he went back for seconds, so this is boyfriend approved ? I added my Perfectly Simple Guacamole on top of my burger, which is now my new fave combo! This was my first time ever eating lentils (I don’t know why, its a great source of vegan protein!) so I bought them pre-cooked from Trader Joe’s, but you can certainly cook them yourself. I normally don’t buy pre-cooked anything but there were no added ingredients so I gave in this time 🙂 I have to try cooking them myself now because they are delicious! This recipe makes 6 burgers, I love to have leftovers! You can freeze them as well if you want.

    • Yield: 6 1x

    Pin Recipe

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 3/4 cup oat flour
    • 1 15oz. can chickpeas
    • 1 cup cooked lentils
    • 1 large carrot stick, chopped into large chunks
    • 1/2 of a zucchini, chopped in large chunks (if small, use whole zucchini)
    • 1/2 red onion, chopped in large chunks
    • 1/2 of a jalapeño (optional)
    • 2 minced garlic cloves
    • 2 tablespoons ketchup
    • 1.5 tablespoon dijon mustard
    • 1.5 tablespoon ground cumin
    • 1 tablespoon chili powder
    • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    Instructions

    1. If you have to make your own oat flour, add oats to food processor and mix until it becomes a flour-like consistency. Transfer to large mixing bowl. If you have oat flour on hand, add to large mixing bowl.
    2. In food processor, combine chickpeas and lentils. Don’t over process, it’s good if it still has some chunks. Transfer mixture to the large bowl with the oat flour.
    3. In food processor, combine carrot, zucchini, onion and jalapeño until chopped small. Again, don’t over process or it will become soupy! Add mixture to the large bowl.
    4. Mix all ingredients together with spoon or by hand.
    5. In a small mixing bowl, combine garlic, ketchup, dijon mustard, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Mix well and pour over the mixture in the large bowl.
    6. Mix until all ingredients are well combined with spoon or by hand!
    7. Heat grill pan over medium-high heat with olive oil.
    8. Form mixture into about 6 burgers and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until slightly browned/crispy.
    9. Serve on a burger bun or on a large piece of lettuce with your favorite toppings!
    10. Enjoy!!

    Notes

    • My food processor was too small to handle all ingredients at once, if you have a larger food processor, you do not have to mix this recipe by hand!

      These are wonderful! The whole family loved them. I did notice they were a little mushy in the middle. Is that how its supposed to be or am I not cooking long enough?

        Hi Maria – I find that happens often with these types of burgers. Possibly cooking it longer on lower heat would cook the middle more or baking them works great too. Hope that helps!

      These look amazing! I am trying to eat a more plant based diet and have yet to really find a burger recipe with chickpeas that wows me. I believe the addition of the lentils and perhaps the oat flour is what gives this one some hold factor. I wonder how this would be with some black beans as well. I adore black beans! Pinned! Feel free to come link this recipe up at our The Yuck Stops Here party!

Before I started my business, I wasn’t sure what direction my life was headed. I was lost for an entire year prior, completely engulfed in motherhood which was fine because I wanted motherhood to take over. I wanted to lose myself in my baby and felt lucky to be able to do that. But then at one point, I wanted to get back to “me” too. I wanted to feel like myself again. I wanted MORE. 

If you’re looking for more income, more community, more flexibility, more confidence, more friendships, more guidance, more support, more financial freedom, more passion in your life… this business can be the vehicle.

    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.

I’ve always curled my hair the same way until recently! Loving this look from our new spiral wand. This is apart of our curling wand that comes with 3 attachments 👀 there are some pieces of my hair that look crimpy so I need practice but it took the same amount of time as my normal curling wand.

PRODUCTS USED:
• anti-frizz blow out spray 
• the best ever dry shampoo
• texture spray for grit and hold
• flex control hairspray
• optional glossy shine mist
