Plant based burgers, burgers, burgers – you gotta love ’em! At least I do and Rod definitely does. So in this video I wanted to share my three go to plant based burger patties and how I like to dress them. You’ll find all the full recipes below as usual.
The three burgers are all based on different legumes and two of them also contain a grain. On top of that there’s plenty of spices and flavouring to make them a taste sensation while being totally nutritious. I like to use oats blended into a coarse flour to give bind and bite so you’ll see that throughout. Otherwise they are all unique and I have chosen to layer them with different condiments and veggies to bring out the best of the flavours in the patties themselves.
One of the burgers is inspired by Mexican flavours while another one has more of a satay flavour and the third one has a nice herb touch which goes great with pesto. Maybe it seems a little OTT to create the burgers based on different cuisines but I wanted to give you some ideas that reach a little bit outside the box. If you wanted a more plain burger I’d simply remove the spices in either of the recipes and focus on adding a little soya, liquid smoke, smoked paprika and black pepper to create more of a plain yet umami base. Then you can go wild with your favourite classic toppings.
I hope you guys will want to try the recipes and will enjoy, remember to tag me @goodeatings on instagram if you share your creations. I love to see what you get up to in the kitchen! x

Can i sub oat flour with almond/coconut flour?
You can sub for any flour really but you might want to change how much you add depending on which one you use. Coconut flour usually soaks up more liquid for example so in that case I would use less. Almond flour could be less efficient at binding and soaking up liquid so it might be the less good choice in this scenario. Good luck and I hope you enjoy! 🙂
