Ingredients

3 cans black beans, drained and rinsed well

1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped very fine

1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped very fine

1/4 cup rolled oats

1 carrot, chopped very fine

2 tbsp sunflower seeds

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cumin powder

1 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp paprika

1/4 cup onion

2 cloves garlic

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions

1.  Blend the oats in food processor.  Add ~1/3 of the black beans and blend.

2.  In a large bowl, mix everything together.  Shape into patties of your desired size.  If the patties don't form and stick together, use your hands to mash the mixture until they do.  I made smaller patties (~1/2 cup of the mix).

3.  Place on a single layer on a cookie sheet.  Bake at 325 for 15 mins.  Flip and bake for 15 more mins.

4.  To use:  heat up on med-high on non-stick pan/skillet or grill (you don't need oil!) until done. 

5.  To use frozen patties: No need to defrost.  I put about 1 tbsp of water on the non-stick pan/skillet and heat it on med-high until one side is done, then repeat on the other side.
