Instructions

In a small bowl, combine chia seeds and water. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, or until the chia seeds have soaked up all the water. This is your chia "egg".
Place pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and salt into a food processor, then pulse until the veggies have been finely chopped.
Add in chia "egg", black beans, and oats, pulse again until everything has been well combined, then place in the fridge for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, divide the mixture into 4 even patties, then use your hands to shape them into burger patties.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Flip, then bake an additional 10 minutes.
Serve with your favorite burger fixings and enjoy!
