Low fat, vegan burger, that’s completely soy free. The texture is perfectly chewy and it taste as good as it looks. GO TO RECIPE >
I made a dill sauce for the burger (it’s that white dill speckled ooze in the picture) from my vegan mayo recipe by adding 1/2 tablespoon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, a little garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon dill weed. That’s not soy free so if you are avoiding soy completely…

This sounds like a good tasting burger, and an interesting technique too. I’d be interested to see if they hold up to grilling after the initial cooking.

I actually did grill some and I didn’t even precook them before. What I did was take a peice of aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray and lay it over the grill and cooked it on that. It worked great. Gave them a great smokey flavor.

What is the purpose of using wheat gluten? Can that be left out?

Great texture, great color. I used 2 1/2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and I think the burgers tasted vinegar-y. Any thoughts?

Try using less Balsamic or use soy sauce if soy doesn’t bother you.

So delicious!

Is the flaxseed referenced in this recipe whole or ground?

Kashburne, it’s ground, yes.

These are really delicious! Great texture, too. I used reconstitutes shiitake mushrooms instead of canned. Thank you, Josh!!

I can’t wait to try this recipe! It’s hard being a vegetarian allergic to soy and beans. Thanks!

Very good .. I am trying recipes on your site for myself, but also for my 6 year old daughter. She’s not very open-minded when it comes to food, and she gave these burgers 2 thumbs up. “Delicious,” she said … Thank you Josh

These were good! I had mine with a side of vegan queso and cornchips and the queso went well on the burger too!

OK I made these over the weekend for my co-worker, my clients, and myself and they were a hit!!!! These burgers remind me of my pre-vegan days when I ate morning star farms garden burgers(but these are better). I also made the special sauce u featured up above to a T and it was so complimentary to the burger!!!

This was a great burger. Quick and easy to make. Very satisfying.

My husband and I LOVED these burgers!! I will use a little less vinegar next time.

Hi,
The burgers sound great but can I leave out the wheat gluten as I have been told I should be gluten free.

thanks for the reply

Felicia, this burger also has flour in it. Maybe you could use arrow root in place of the wheat and gluten? Or maybe egg replacer.

This is a best burger! I have tried many burgers after becoming vegan. Was used to the Morning Star Grillers. Now this is a keeper!!!! Thanks, Josh!

Thanks for the comment Ginger. Glad you liked this burger as much as I did.

Oh my WORD!! I made this burger over the weekend and was astounded. I have to admit that I had serious reservations about it because I’m phobic of anything mushroom, but forged ahead anyway and I’m very glad I did.

What I really love about this recipe is that there is minimal babysitting. I love burgers with sauteed veggies in the mix, but sometimes I just want a night off. This recipe is perfect–just turn on the rice cooker and let it do the babysitting.

I think that texturally this burger is the closest thing to actual hamburger that I’ve ever eaten (although it’s been quite a few years since I’ve had real hamburger). Thanks so much for the delicious recipe!

P.S. Josh, have you tried these on the grill? I’m tempted to give it a shot if they’d hold together well enough.

Thanks for the comment Nichole, yes I have grilled these burgers, in fact the ones in the photo were grilled. They are even better grilled cause it gives them a smokey flavor.
