Recipe by BRIENNEROSE I had a hard time finding a black bean burger recipe that was not 'tex-mex,' so I made one up. Cook in a skillet or on the grill. Serve on buns with your favorite condiments.

Flax Seed

Health and fertility benefits of Smoky Black Bean Burgers

Flaxseed can be used to combat PCOS as it helps decrease androgen levels. It contains lignans that increase the production of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) that binds testosterone in the blood, thereby preventing it from wreaking havoc in the body. Being high in fiber, flaxseed helps slow down glucose metabolism and lower cholesterol levels. The omega-3 fatty acids in this flaxseed also reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon ground flax seed
3 tablespoons water
1 (15 ounce) can black beans - drained, rinsed, and mashed
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
cooking spray

Instructions

Mix ground flax seed and water together in a small bowl. Let sit to thicken, about 5 minutes.
Mix flax mixture, black beans, panko bread crumbs, garlic, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke together in a bowl until combined. Form batter into 4 patties; arrange on a plate. Chill in refrigerator until set, about 30 minutes.
Spray a skillet with cooking spray; place patties in skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
