    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!

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
