While I do not label myself as a strict plant eater, I can’t say I love meat. And I definitely don’t love cooking meat. SO, I’m always looking for ways to sneak more protein into my diet. There are definitely some good store-bought veggie burgers, but this can become quite pricey. I’ve developed a tasty black bean burger that’s quick and easy! I love to eat these topped with a runny egg or with a plate of veggies.

Further Food Commentary:

Black beans are a great protein source, with about eight grams of protein in every 1/2 cup serving. Additionally, these legumes provide a good source of dietary fiber, iron, and magnesium. Combined with the phytonutrients and antioxidants found in the leafy greens and bell peppers in this recipe, this makes for a nutrient-rich meal! For those with Celiac Disease or a gluten intolerance, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats or oat flour to avoid the possibility of cross contamination with gluten containing ingredients.
