Homemade burgers are much nicer than the ones you buy frozen, and they are so much fun to make too. Serve these bean burgers in toasted buns with your favourite salad and toppings.
Rinse the beans in a colander and set aside a quarter of them in a bowl to add later, then pour the rest into a large bowl.
Mash the beans with a potato masher until you have a paste then add the herbs, spices, oats and whole beans to the bowl and mix with a spoon until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 6-8 balls using your hands and then squash them into burger shapes.
These are now ready to cook. Heat a frying pan with a little olive oil and fry each side for a few minutes until crisp and starting to brown. You could also bake these on a baking tray in a hot oven for 20-25 minutes.
