Process
In a small bowl, combine the ground flax and water. Give it a little stir and set aside. This is your flax egg mixture.
In a large bowl, add the drained and rinsed black beans. Mash with a potato masher (or fork) until most of the beans are a paste. Leave about ยผ of the beans whole.
Place the cashews in a food processor, and pulse until they are breadcrumb size, NOT a powder. It's okay if a few larger pieces remain. You could instead chop them with a large knife. Add to the bowl with the beans.
Now add the flax/water mix to the bowl with the beans/nuts, as well as all the remaining ingredients. Mix very well with a large wooden spoon.
Using about ยฝ cup per burger, shape into burger patty shapes about ยพ inch thick.
Add 2-3 TBS of oil on the stove over medium heat. Add 4 patties at a time and cook until gold and crispy on one side, about 4 minutes.
Carefully flip the burgers and cook for 3-4 more minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve on hamburger buns and any burger fixings you love!
