Since I'm taking mostly online classes this semester, thanks to covid, I've been able to mix up my lunches more and try new recipes. I like quick recipes for lunch because I don't want to spend too much time during the day cooking, and this recipe is actually really quick to whip up and was surprisingly delicious! I haven't made my own veggie burgers in about 3 years because it's easier to just heat up pre-made frozen ones, but this recipe is almost as easy and a lot more healthy! I thought that these burgers had good flavor and were pretty firm. They cooked really nicely on the stove. I used a barbecue seasoning called Butt Rub to season my patties, but the spices listed in the recipe are about the same as the butt rub. If you're in the mood for a burger but want to cut down on fat and calories, or just wanna eat more whole foods, try this recipe! Let me know in the comments below if you try it and what you did different or would do differently.
