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.

I substituted tapioca flour (1 tbsp to 2 tbsp water)

I love this recipe. Recently, I looked up psyllium to find possible substitutes. Wheat bran is one of them, and the recipe turns out great with it. Gluten-free choices like psyllium are unnecessary for most of us, so wheat bran is a very convenient option.

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.

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?

Reply

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.

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

Hi Jill,

I’ve made these twice already…delicious. however, I did try to freeze them and it didn’t work out so well. Should I cook them before freezing? Thanks!

Yes, they should be baked first before freezing.

Hello Jill & Family ~
I’ve been with you since the beginning and have made so made of your delicious recipes….thank you!
I made your “Black Bean Burgers” and added a 1/4 cup cooked Wild Rice that had been lightly diced up in my mini food processor after cooking and cooling it, to the mix.
Came out delicious 😋.
I like the “meaty” texture from the brown rice.
Your recipe is very tasty, thank you for sharing.

Jill seems to not understand that white flour = sugar when digested. Like, pure sugar. You should be using a sprouted grain bun. One without sodium added for that matter. Flour is sugar.

There is no white flour in my recipes. I only use oat flour or buckwheat flour

Hi Jill, I’m eager to try these burgers but I discovered that my flaxseed meal is bug-infested! What can I use as a substitute? Thanks.

Reply
Jill Dalton December 20, 2022 - 4:36 pm

ground chia seed

Reply
Ginny December 20, 2022 - 7:49 pm

Thanks, will try the chia.

burger seems to have a high sodium count (502), how to reduce the sodium?

Reply
Molly April 30, 2023 - 2:33 pm

It may not actually have that much sodium. I’ve seen Jill say, elsewhere on the site, that the nutrition data is auto generated. She doesn’t add salt and recommends no-salt added beans and tomato paste. I looked at my Braggs and it says 320 per tsp so that’s 640 for 4 burgers (160 each). Check the salsa you use too.

Vegetable broth in place of the soy sauce should work well or omit.

Reply
Bett October 24, 2023 - 7:57 pm

Can these be grilled or sauteed? The idea of baked burgers just doesn’t appeal to me.

Reply
Jill Dalton October 27, 2023 - 4:57 pm

I haven’t tried grilling them or sautéing them because I don’t use oil but I think they would work either way
