Help! My black bean burgers turned out mushy. How can I fix them?

Hi all! I need some rescue advice! My black bean burgers came out super mushy, and I'm not sure where I went wrong. Has anyone faced this before and fixed it? I'm hoping to turn this around for my next batch.

Mushy burgers can be so frustrating! Try adding breadcrumbs or oats to give them some structure. Make sure to dry the beans well before mashing and chill the patties in the fridge for a bit before cooking. These tweaks should help you get that perfect burger texture!

Oh no, mushy burgers! Next time, try adding breadcrumbs or oats to the mix to soak up extra moisture, and be sure to pat the beans dry before mashing. That should give them a firmer texture!

Try drying out the beans first and adding some breadcrumbs for structure! Also, don’t overblend the mixture.
