Instructions
- 1
Place the rolled oats (1.33 cups) in a food processor fitted with an S-blade and pulse 5 or 6 times until partially chopped (some will be powder, some will be whole). Add black beans (16 ounces), salsa (0.75 cup), soy sauce (1 tbsp), mild chili powder (1.25 tsp), chipotle chile powder (0.375 tsp), and garlic powder (0.5 tsp) and pulse until most of the beans are blended.

Pour bean mixture into a bowl and stir in the corn kernels (0.5 cup). Cover and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form bean mixture into six patties using a scant cup (0.5) for each. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the outside is beginning to get crispy and they hold together well.

Alternatively, preheat the air fryer to around 375F. Place the burgers in a single layer and air fry until slightly crispy on the outside, about 15 minutes. (They have a tendency to stick, so consider using perforated parchment paper underneath them.)
