In order to show you how to make a vegan burger which does all of these things, we have gathered together some of the best homemade burger recipes we could find.
How to make the BEST vegan burger recipe
The secret to the best vegan burgers are in the seasoning and texture.
You need to find something that will bind the ingredients together- some use egg substitutes such as flax seeds, others rely on oil or moisture from beans.
Have a look at this article on vegan egg substitutes if you want to learn what your options are when it comes to binding a homemade vegan burger.
You also need to decide what seasoning to use for your plant-based burger recipe.
Vegan Bean Burgers!
Beans are a popular base in easy vegan burger recipes; they are full of protein and fibre, but they are definitely bland, so it really is up to you to bring the FLAVOUR!
We have featured a couple of vegan black bean burger recipes and other bean burger recipes, because beans are especially good in burgers, given their firm texture and nutty flavour.
However vegan chickpea burger recipes are also fantastic, as chickpeas are similarly nutty and firm. Check out this tex-mex take on a chickpea burger!

Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 2 eggs (use ‘flax’ eggs to make vegan. One flax egg = 1 tbsp flax seeds mixed with 3 tbsp hot water and stirred)
- 1 can black beans (1 regular can = 15oz = 425g)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1½ tsp cumin, ground
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- ½ medium red onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- ½ cup dried breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the black beans. Place in a large mixing bowl and blend with a hand blender. Alternatively, crush the beans with a fork/masher.
- Dice the red onion and sundried tomatoes and add to the bowl.
- Next, add the oats, eggs, salt, cumin, paprika, olive oil. Give it a good stir.
- Finally, add the breadcrumbs a little at a time until you’re left with a nice, firm mixture. If you don’t need to use all the breadcrumbs, that’s totally fine.
- Mould the mixture into burger patties. Wet your hands if it’s too sticky.
- Fry in a little oil in a pan, or place on a BBQ/grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, turning occasionally. Serve with your favourite burger ingredients – a bun, lettuce, tomato, cheese – whatever you fancy!

I’m not a foodie, although I do love eating. I believe food should serve us and our goals, not hinder. Taking control and responsibility for what I eat is important to me. Lots of veggie protein is my way forward.
