Black Bean Burgers

 

For the last year or so we've had this on going obsession with black bean burgers, its started off with a frozen brand and later branched out to a more fresh version. But since going cutting out some of the gluten in my life, I realized I was going to need something to replace my bread crumbs, crap! So when I realized that oats (gluten free) could do what breadcrumbs do, but better, I jumped right on in and whipped them up.  And I think I found my new obsession, if you're looking for a quick and easy Superbowl snack, make them mini and voila!
