These creamy burgers are super easy to make with just a handful of ingredients too. Butterbeans are a soft textured bean, creamy and mild tasting making them ideal for burgers as well as being a great vegan protein option. You can prepare these in advance and cook when needed. You can cook them from frozen just allow a little longer in the oven. I like to serve these with a little salsa or homemade tomato sauce or you can place them in gluten free rolls for a healthy fast food alternative.

Rich in protein butterbeans are a great source of soluble fibre too making these ideal for digestive health. Any soft textured bean can be used in this recipe – haricot beans and cannelini beans are particularly goo.
It’s easy to make your own pesto. Traditionally it is made with a combination of olive oil, pine nuts, fresh basil, garlic and Parmesan cheese but you can use any nuts or seeds and instead of Parmesan add 2-4tbsp nutritional yeast flakes to make a vegan version
