These delicious Thai Black Bean Burgers are packed with fiber, plant-based protein and fabulous Thai flavors!
These black bean burgers are so easy to make and are so easy to make and freezer friendly. When I make these I double, triple even quadruple the recipe to freeze some for later.
These babies might look and sound fancy but really will only take 30 minutes to make. These aren't just for vegans and vegetarians either, many people like to add more vegetables and plant based protein to their diets because they are watching their fat or cholesterol levels.
Trust me, even the biggest carnivores will eat these babies!

Why You Should Make These Thai Black Bean Burgers
Many of the store bought veggie burgers have unnecessary additives and junk added to them. And to be honest, if your choice is between a burger with 100% grass fed, organic ground beef or one of those veggie burgers from the grocery store, your healthier choice is definitely the ground beef.
But if you have the time to make your own (like this one) then that is also a healthy choice!
Try not to be intimidated by making homemade veggie burgers. I know I was at first and some of the recipes had so many ingredients and so many different steps, I just knew I had to create a simple, easy recipe that any beginner cook can easily make.
And that is precisely what I did...
These burgers are so ridiculously easy. I even baked them so you don't have to watch them on the stove.
And I know, before you say anything, I would've thought it sounded super weird to put peanut butter in veggie burgers.
But it's seriously life changing. And you want to know the funniest part? I don't even like Thai food!
Add that to my list… Or wait, maybe I only like HOMEMADE Thai food? That is a definite possibility. Because I love these veggie burgers!
I also like to make a double batch and freeze one to eat later. I cook them first and then wrap them up in parchment and freeze them separately. This way if I just want one for dinner, I can easily pull one out without defrosting all of them.
How To Make These Black Bean Burgers
Did I mention how easy these black bean burgers are to make? You just mix it all together and form patties! My kids thought I was making chocolate chip cookies when they saw me stirring this...
And you know what? They weren't wrong! They do kind of look like chocolate chip cookies. Boy were they disappointed...
Next you simply roll them into balls and flatten into patties. This is what they look like before they are cooked...
Who knew black beans would look just like chocolate chips? Sorry to disappoint, kids!
Now here it is in a delicious Brioche bun with some Romaine lettuce and tomato. And of course extra sriracha sauce on top! I also like to add some shredded red cabbage to my burgers for some added crunch (and color).
And doesn't that bun look insanely delicious? There is nothing, and I repeat nothing, like a fresh (gluten free) Brioche bun. Sometimes I like to toast them for my kids and put a little butter on the inside...
