I love a good vegetarian burger and this one is just so delicious and filled with proteins from quinoa, black beans and sunflower seeds. They are baked in the oven to become crispy and golden on the outside, while nice and soft on the inside. They are delicious served on their own with a bit of salsa and avocado (as shown on the above picture, with a side of my cauliflower and hemp tabouleh), or again on a more traditional gluten-free burger bun with all the dressing. I love it both ways, but usually have it without any bread. I will need to work on developing a good recipe for gluten-free burger buns! I have to admit that I also love to eat them on their own as a snack!

Salut Éli!!!
C’est Caro, au Nunavik! Je voudrais vraiment faire cette recette, mais je n’ai pas de levure et je ne peux pas en commander non plus, est-ce que je peux le remplacer par quelque chose d’autre? J’adore ton blog, je vais prendre des idées de recette, c’est sûr!!! Merci!!!
Salut Caro! J’espère que tout va bien au Nunavik!!! Le rôle de la levure alimentaire est partiellement pour le goût, et partiellement pour tenir le tout ensemble. Je pense que si tu remplaçais la levure par la même quantité de farine de ton choix (blé, riz, kamut, etc), et ajoutait une cuillère à table de sauce Braggs ou tamari de plus, ça devrait bien se tenir et le goût devrait aussi être délicieux
Tu me diras si ça fonctionne bien!!!
Thanks so much for your recipe! This was my project today. I even baked the buns from scratch. Delicious! http://goo.gl/RgjJoH My family was impressed that old Dad could make something that tasted so good.
Hi David! It is so great to hear that you made this for your family! And buns from scratch, this is amazing! It must have been quite delicious!
Do these hold together well, not too crumbly? I’m wondering if they would stand up to freezing if I made a double batch and put them in the freezer before baking them. Beautiful website lady! Let me know when you make anything with local ingredients and I’ll share it on Root Cellars Rock.
Thanks Sarah
I find that they do hold together nicely! I did not do the freezer test because they were all gone in 2-3 days, but I think that should work! Let me know how they turn out and if they pass the freezer test! I am planning to make some more very soon so I will let you know if you don’t freeze them before me!
Quinoa burgers are my favorite! I make a black bean quinoa burger as well, but haven’t tried adding nutritional yeast or Braggs, I love that. Will definitely be giving yours a try next time around
Thank Alyssa, the nutritional yeast and Braggs really give the burgers a delicious flavour! I hope you enjoy them! I just checked your website and you have tons of amazing quinoa recipe! I will definitely visit you more

I need to try these burgers sometime soon – they look delicious!
Gorgeous pictures. Pinned!
Thanks Abbie
