Vegan Bites: Crunchy Bean Burgers


It may be clear after several burger posts, that I'm on a quest for the best veggie burg.
Restaurant and store-bought tend to be soy-based.
TVP (textured veg protein) is an amazing product for burgers, but my goal is to omit the soy product and hopefully the gluten in binders like breadcrumbs or wheat flours.

Todays attempt is loosely based on this recipe http://pureella.com/gluten-free-vegan-black-bean-burgers/#comment-136990, so loosely however, that the only similar ingredients are garlic, beans and flax!

I am learning that the crunchy seed coating, originally from Fava Quinoa Cakes http://mamadrool.blogspot.ca/2016/08/vegan-bites-fava-quinoa-cakes.html, is what really blow any burgers out of the ballpark.
