Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1 cup bell peppers, finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped

- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for cooking)
- Whole grain or gluten-free burger buns

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mash the black beans until chunky.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté onions and bell peppers until soft (5-7 minutes).
- Add minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper; cook for another 1-2 minutes.
