Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon warm water
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 medium raw beet, grated (1 cup)
- 1/2 red onion, chopped (1/2 cup)

- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
Directions
1) In a small bowl, mix flaxseed and water together and let sit for 5 minutes, until it gets thick. 2) In a food processor, puree oats (use gluten-free if you’d like) until they are a flour-like texture. 3) Pulse in flaxseed mixture, beets, onion, beans, chili powder, and salt. Leave it chunky, not totally smooth. 4) Form mixture into six burger patties and freeze them for 15 minutes to set. 5) Cook each side about 4 minutes in a skillet over medium-high heat or a grill. *Serve open-face on sprouted whole grain English muffins w/ your favorite burger toppings like lettuce, tomato, red onion, mustard, ketchup.

I’m going to try these, thank you! What would be a good sauce or spread to accompany them either alone or spread in a high fiber-low carb wrap? Thanks!
