Veggie Burger #2...

I'm on the search for the perfect veg burger...hopefully I'll find one as good as P. Terry's! I made a Black Bean version a few weeks ago and it was fine, but I probably won't make it again after today's version! I was inspired by a pinterest recipe, but my recipe is below. Kids didn't complain and Tyler raved, so thumbs up! Should have snapped a pic. Oh well.

3 small sweet potatoes
2 cans cannellini beans, rinsed
2 T almond flour
1/4 cup quick oats
dashes of the following: sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, minced dried onions
Panko crumbs
grapeseed oil

I cut the potatoes into halves and baked them in the oven at 350 for about 45 minutes - drizzled with oil and sprinkled with salt & pepper. Scrape out the insides into a bowl and mash together with the beans. Add seasoning and mix well. Form a patty and thinly coat in the panko. I then oiled a baking sheet and baked the patties on it at 375 for about 30 minutes, flipping once halfway thru baking...or until breadcrumbs start browning.

For the side dish, I sliced up yellow squash and tossed them in grapeseed oil, cornmeal, salt & pepper, then baked them along with the patties on another baking sheet. Almost as good as grandma used to fry up! Yum!

And for dessert yesterday, I made cookie dough dip out of chickpeas! Once you get over the fact that you are eating beans with chocolate chips in it, it really tastes like cookie dough - crazy!

Now back to eating something I didn't make, but am addicted to...HEB's dark chocolate covered almonds!
