I'm on the hunt for some secrets to get my black bean burgers just a bit thicker. They're always a hit, but I feel like they could be even better. Any tips or tricks you'd be willing to share?
Mash the beans less: I've found that sometimes, if I mash the black beans too much, they can become too mushy and wet. Keeping some beans whole or partially mashed can add texture and help with thickness.
I think adding some breadcrumbs or oats could help bind the ingredients together and make the burgers thicker! Though, be sure not to add too much, so they don't become too dense. Good luck!
To thicken black bean burgers, add ingredients like breadcrumbs, oats, or mashed sweet potato, and ensure the mixture is well-combined before forming patties.
