Servings: 6
Calories: 154kcal
Ingredients
- 2 carrots roughly chopped
- ¼ cup onion roughly chopped
- 1 jalapeño roughly chopped, seeds removed
- 1 large garlic clove roughly chopped
- 15 oz. chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoon buffalo sauce plus more for serving
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Add the roughly chopped carrots, onion, jalapeño, and garlic to your food processor and pulse 5 times.
- Then, add the chickpeas, buffalo sauce, salt, and rolled oats and pulse 10 times. You should still be able to see some whole oats and the mixture should be slightly wet but still easy to work with. If it seems TOO wet, add one more tablespoon of oats. NOTE: You don't want to over-pulse it; otherwise, the texture will be too mushy.
- Next, use your hands to form the mixture into 6 burgers.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat. Once hot, add the burgers and cook them for 3 minutes on the first side, then flip them over and cook for 2-3 minutes on the second side until they're golden brown.
- Serve with extra buffalo sauce on top and enjoy!
