Ingredients
-
2 cups walnuts
-
2 cups cooked brown rice
-
1/2 cup rolled oats
-
8 oz mushrooms
-
2 ounces (4 tbsp) vegan butter
-
2 tbsp vegan mayo Try our: Oli-Free Mayo Recipe
-
1 tbsp amino acids
-
1 tbsp smoked salt (optional; replace with kosher salt)
-
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
-
1/4 of a beet, finely grated
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
-
Crush the walnuts to a fine texture using a single-serving mixer or a small food processor. Set aside.
-
In a separate mixer or food processor, combine the mushrooms and vegan butter until fully combined.
-
Add the crushed walnuts, mushroom mixture, and all other ingredients into a bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture forms a ball. Place it in the freezer for 30 minutes to make shaping easier.
-
Grate in the garlic and beets and give the mixture one final mix.
-
Remove the mixture from the freezer and, using your hands, shape it into 10 medium-sized patties or 20 mini sliders. For perfectly shaped patties, consider using a burger press.
-
Place the patties on foil paper and cook in the preheated oven for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Even when fully cooked, the burgers may appear red or pink inside; this is normal.
-
Just before removing from the oven, add vegan cheese slices to the patties.
-
Add lettuce tomatoes and some spicy mayo on toasted sesame seed buns and enjoy!

Storage:
-
Store the cooked patties in the freezer, separated by parchment paper, to prevent sticking. Use within 7-10 days.
Chef Notes:
-
Compressing the patties during assembly will result in firmer burgers during the cooking process. Consider using a round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter to assist in shaping.
-
Customize the flavor by adding spices like Chipotle or jalapenos to the mixture before cooking.
-
The grated beets give the burgers a traditional beef-like appearance but can be omitted if desired.
-
For added flavor, toast the buns on the grill before serving. Enjoy your plant-based double cheeseburgers!
