Burger Patties - Only 4 ingredients

Hi there, I'm back with another easy, healthy and tasty recipe!

I really wanted to share this recipe with you because it helped me transitioning into veganism. When you feel your meal is missing something you can pop one of these out of the freezer, toast it and voila, extra nutrition added to your meal. For example, I add have mine in burgers but also on top of salads or with a side of veggies. You can also form them into ball for a "meatball" substitute.

These patties are a good source of fiber, of protein with the combination legumes + grains (±10g per serving), and will help you keep fuller longer.

The recipe is in 2 parts: The first part is the base of the patty, what makes it hold together and what makes it a complete source of protein; The second part that is optional. It is versatile and customisable to your preferences, it adds it an extra-kick and allows you to make it different every time!
