• 2 combine the beans, onion, oats, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and egg in a food processor. pulse until chunky, but not pureed. the mixture should be moist, but not sticky. add a little liquid if needed.
• 3 grease a baking sheet.
• 4 use your hands, a spoon, or an ice-cream scoop to make patties. drop these onto the baking sheet.
• 5 bake for about 15 minutes, or until the bottoms are nicely colored and lift easily from the baking sheet. flip and bake for 15 more.
• 6 you can also broil these burgers, or cook them in a hot cast iron skillet, or on the grill. they cook a lot faster using these other methods, so just be sure to keep an eye on them.
