Vegan Burger Patties and Meatballs

This is my go to recipe for amazing vegan burger patties and meatballs. The best part is, they’re soy free, seitan free, and made with just wholefoods.

You can make this recipe into meatballs, by forming small balls and baking them in the oven. Or, if you prefer, you can form the mix into patties and cook them in a frying pan for delicious burgers.

To Make Vegan Meatballs and Burger Patties

To make the meatballs, add the chia seeds and water to a cup and set aside to form a chia egg. Finely chop the onions and carrot in a processor (or chop the onion and grate the carrot by hand).

Add the walnuts and process until coarsely chopped.

Add the oats and beans. Process until just combined. You don’t want to over-process or the meatballs will lose their texture.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the remaining ingredients and chia egg. Mix with carefully with a wooden spoon or your hands until fully combined. You want a slightly wet mince texture.

Roll the mix into small balls and bake in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes, until they’re crispy on the outside.

Alternatively, shape mix into approximately 6 patties. Heat a non stick frying pan on medium heat. Cook patties for approximately 5 minutes on each side, until browned.

Enjoy on on a burger with your favourite toppings.
