This recipe makes 6 patties. Depending on what you serve them with, and how hungry you are, that is between 3-6 servings. Simply double the recipe for more. They freeze well too. I like serving these burgers with avocado (as pictured) or with a tahini sauce. They're super tasty with the green tahini sauce from my Sweet Potato Burgers :) One last thing: Brazil nuts, hemp seeds, and pumpkin seeds are pricey. If you want to be budget friendly, use almonds in place of brazil nuts, and sunflower seeds in place of hemp and pumpkin seeds. This is what is used in the original recipe.

1cupcilantrochopped
½cupquick cooking oats or oat bran
6slicesof toasted ciabatta breador your vessel of choice
2cupsarugulamixed greens, or butter lettuce

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° and line a baking dish with parchment paper. Also grab a large mixing bowl, and your food processor.
Add the red pepper and onion to the food processor, and pulse until minced. Pour into the large mixing bowl.
Add the brazil nuts, seeds, garlic cloves, chili powder, cumin, and sea salt to the food processor, and blend until it has combined into a grainy mixture. Pour into the mixing bowl with the onion and pepper.
Add the beans and cilantro to the processor, and blend until almost smooth (a few chunks of bean is okay). Pour into the mixing bowl.
Pour your oats into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients, and stir well to combine. The oats will expand and help hold the burgers together.
Form into tight palm-sized patties, and place each onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and use a spatula to flip each burger. Continue baking for another 10 minutes.
Serve with ciabatta, avocado, cucumber, and arugula.
