I don’t have psyllium powder, not even sure what it is. If I omit this will it make a big difference in the recipe?
You can omit it. The burgers just won’t be quite as firm.
What kind of rolls do you use for these? I am anxious to try them, but am looking for rolls. Thank you. Enjoy your show so much!
Unfortunately I don’t have a great recommendation. It seems like almost all the store bought gluten free rolls that I have found still have non- vegan ingredients.
hi jill i just made the kale potatoe bake for our church small group luncheon and it was a hit !thank you !!!!
Thank you. I found your site recently, and love the videos and delicious healthy recipes. I was thinking of substituting ground flax or ground chia seeds for the psyllium, since that is what I have in my home now. Which do you think might work better?
flax
Are the black beans drained and rinsed?
yes
Very nice! I’ve now made these twice with minor changes (lemon juice instead of lime, an extra tbsp of flax meal to replace the psyllium powder, any canned NSA bean, and low sodium soy sauce). I make my own whole grain bread (whole wheat, oat flour, almond flour, and vital wheat gluten) at 75% hydration and autolysed after fully hydrating all the flour. It rises beautifully. I shape the patties to match the bread slices.
Can apple cider vinegar be used instead of balsamic?
yes
Hi Jill, I made these and were great, I wonder how they would be on a grill? John
I think they would do great on the grill
