High Protein Vegan Burger Recipe (All Natural!)

Forget about the impossible beef patties that go beyond real ingredients. These high-protein vegan burgers are made with whole foods — even super foods — and are healthier than any store-bought ready-made patties. Each mega burger contains over 20 grams of all-natural protein, not counting any bread, vegetables, or seasonings you might use.

I love veggie burgers. Not the protein isolates and emulsifying oils in meat-wannabe, but pancakes made with real vegetables and grains. Vegan burgers are usually a little heavy on carbs, but these high-protein vegan burgers have a better nutrient balance. It is incredibly allergen free!

Recipe created by Superfood Queen, Julie Morris. She uses black beans, hemp seeds, and quinoa for a vegan burger mix that’s naturally rich in protein and fatty acids, without the need for any protein supplements. But does it taste like meat? No, it tastes like real delicious food. Enjoy!

5. When it’s cool enough to handle, use your clean hands to knead the mixture together to form a thick base.
6. Place the base in the refrigerator, covered, for 30 minutes to allow the quinoa flakes to puff up and absorb the excess moisture.
7. Shape the mixture into 8 pieces (8 pieces if you want a smaller size).
8. Heat half a tablespoon of the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add half of the pancakes and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until browned. Repeat the process with the remaining ½ tablespoon of oil and pancakes.
