Walnut Mushroom Chickpea Burger

These Walnut Mushroom Chickpea Burgers are easy to make, super healthy, packed full of flavour, and delicious. 11 basic ingredients, vegan, and gluten-free option.

Some days you just need a burger, am I right?

Today was one of those days for me.

In fact, it’s been one of those days for me all week. I was craving burgers for days, just didn’t get around to go to the grocery store until yesterday. I blame the exams and not my laziness. Either way, it’s time for burgers!

These patties have walnuts, chickpeas, oats, and mushrooms in them. They’re flavoured with a combination of paprika, thyme, oregano, and rosemary. And for a deeper flavour, I added soya sauce.

For my toppings, I went with grated carrot, onion, salad leaves, vegan chili mayo, and a more than generous serving of hummus.

Spoiler alert: it was delicious.

But go with whatever your heart desires. The second time I had these, I added some avocado. That might have made it even better.

These burgers only need 11 basic ingredients, and they’re easy and quick to make, super healthy, and packed full of flavour.
