Black Bean Oatmeal Burgers



1 - 15oz can black beans, drained & rinsed (or 1 1/2 cups cooked black beans)
1 - 14.5oz can diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup fresh cilantro or parsley leaves, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
2 green onions chopped (I used 1/4cup chopped vidalia onion)
2/3cup chopped carrots (I grated the carrot)
1 3/4 cup rolled oats

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper & brush or spray lightly with oil.

Process the first 8 ingredients until well blended. (I used my hand mixer instead of the blender. It took a little longer & splashed a bit, but worked just fine)
Transfer to a bowl and mix in oats.

Form into 8 patties. Place on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Carefully flip patties with a wide spatula. Place under broiler for another 1-2 minutes each side until browned.
(Be careful not to burn parchment paper under the broiler)

Makes 8 patties. These were easy to mix together and very tasty. They would be good to make ahead and store in the freezer for quick & easy meals for lunches or busy week nights.
