Happy Marathon Monday!! Who’s watching — or following — at least one runner in Boston today? *raises hand* I can only imagine ALL the feels Boston runners must be experiencing this morning. The excitement from Boston runners this weekend was contagious from their social media channels!
I may not be running Boston, but I had such a crazy weekend. I feel like I need a weekend from my weekend. Kinda like how sometimes you need a vacation from vacation, right? But I’m thrilled to report that it’s finally spring here in CLE. I ran in shorts and a singlet over the weekend — and it was sunny! It was glorious, indeed.
Now that spring has officially sprung, we’ve been doing some spring cleaning — prepping our patio, getting the kids’ toys out, and most importantly, doing some major “spring” clean eating. We’ve had several weeks of poor food choices, not by our choosing, but we’re finally back on track to better eating.
One way to celebrate spring and eat well is with a delicious, homemade veggie burger. The veggie burger recipe I’m sharing today is direct from the Oh She Glows cookbook. It was so good I didn’t have to change a thing. I hope you try it and love it as much as we do. It truly is the Best Ever Homemade Veggie Burger.
Best Ever Homemade Veggie Burger
from Oh She Glows
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 14 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 C sweet potato
- 1/3 C parsley, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 C red onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 C sunflower seeds
- 3/4 C rolled oats
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp tamari
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 3/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
- 1 tsp ground cumin
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (optional but recommended).
In a large bowl, mash the black beans into a paste and stir in remaining ingredients. Mix well to combine. Firmly shape the dough into 8 patties. Place on the baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes per side, gently flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Serve on a toasted bun and enjoy!
Don’t let all the ingredients intimidate you. Once you have everything prepped, this is a simple and delicious recipe. Plus it will leave you full and satisfied but you won’t have to feel guilty eating any of the ingredients!
If you’re rooting for someone running today, I hope they have an incredible race and the experience of a lifetime. #BOSTONSTRONG

Ive always struggled with making veggie burgers, and have been on the hunt for some good recipes. I’ll definitely give this one a try- thanks for sharing!
They’re a little stressful the first couple times. But they taste delicious.
I always end up buying the premade. I am woman enough to confess I had never considered making my own veggie burger. I’m considering it 🙂 🙂
Thank YOU!!!
Haha. I usually buy premade too. But homemade are really yummy.
That sounds delicious! It’s been a while since I made my own, but they are so much better!
They really are!
Yum! I’m menu planning as we speak…
Perfect timing!
I have the Oh She Glows cookbook! These burgers look so good, but haven’t made them…yet. I love a good veggie burger!
My favorite springtime dish is probably salad:)
I’ll definitely be watching the Boston marathon on TV this morning.
My fave recipe from it is Chana Masala. It’s amazing. Have you tried it?
I like the addition of the oats in here! I love to make my own veggie burgers thanks for linking up today
Me too. So much better than store bought!
Yum! and perfect timing as grilling season is coming up 🙂
Yes!
Loving the flavors in here and the sweet potato really makes me wanna give it a try! 🙂
Absolutely. Oh She Glows has amazing recipes!
Those look really good!
They so are.
Those look delicious! I’m SO craving a good burger now that it’s finally warm!
Same here! I’m attempting portobello burgers this week on the grill. Never tried them before. Fingers crossed!
Your veggie burger looks amazing! I’ve never been to Boston but have dreams of running it one day!
Me too. But for me I know they are pipe dreams. But that’s ok bc I can still dream!
I am watching Boston right now…. how nice that Angela allowed you to share her recipe! She does have some really good ones. I have made these and they are very tasty!
I love the Oh She Glows cookbook. So many awesome recipes!
This sounds so tasty! I’m totally making these this week! Thank you!
Fantastic! They’re so good.
i love veggie burger but i just cant get the texture right 🙁 your version looks delicious!
Texture is so dependent on what goes in. I love veggie burgers too but sometimes they fall apart.
There are several people that I’m cheering on in Boston right now too. I always love how exciting and thrilling this day is for the entire running community.
It was such a fun day! I know it was hot and a lot of people missed their goals, but I haven’t seen one bad race report yet!
This is our favourite veggie burger to make! It’s packed with so much goodness! We are big fans of Oh She Glows!
Me too!!! I loooooove the cookbook n
truth be told, I have never had a veggie burger (I know… #mybad). This is a recipe that actually sounds good (for the lack of meat LOL). Thanks for sharing!!
Haha no shame. I never had them until nixed meat. It’s a good one though!
That burger I bet tastes a lot better than it looks! I can’t eat real hamburgers so I am always interested in an alternate- thanks!
It’s really flavorful. We love it!
Oh my gosh! That looks so good! I do like real beef burgers but this looks delicious in its own right!
It’s so hearty and filling!
Veggie burgers are one of my absolute favorite comfort foods! Love that you added sunflower seeds in your recipe! #yum
I’ve never officially made veggie burgers, but I might have to change now 🙂
Yes, definitely! They’re so delicious.
