Black Bean Patties

After a great personal touch workout, a dinner filled with protein sounded perfect.  I have been wanting to try these Black Bean Patties for a couple weeks now.

I adapted the recipe from Happy Herbivore and below is how I made mine.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup GF instant oats
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400F and grease a cookie sheet.
2. Mash beans with a fork until mostly pureed, but some half pieces are still left.
3. Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, mustard, and ketchup until combined. Then mix in oats.
4. Divide into four equal portions and shape into thin patties.
5. Bake for about 10 minutes, flip carefully, bake for about another 5 minutes or until crusty on the outside.

I loved how simple and quick these were to make.
