A wonderful meaty style vegan burger packed with protein and fibre. The addition of miso and mushrooms really adds to the flavour of these burgers while the nutritional yeast flakes provides a subtle ‘cheesy’ flavour. These can be prepared in advance and reheated in a pan or oven. You can also freeze these burgers.

What’s Good About It?
Using a combination of lentils and kidney beans ensures sufficient protein in these burgers as well as plenty of fibre to support blood sugar balance and digestive health.
- Preheat the oven to 200C, gas mark 6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Place the beans, lentils, mushrooms, onion and oats into a food processor or mixer.
- Process briefly to break everything down. Scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is mixed
- Add the remaining ingredients and briefly pulse to combine – you want to keep some texture.
- Shape the mixture into 6 large burgers
- Place the burgers on the baking tray and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes. Flip them over half way through cooking to ensure they are golden on both sides.
- Serve in rolls with condiments of your choice
