  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

For the Burger Patties:

  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

For Assembly:

  • Vegan cheese slices
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced onions
  • Pickles
  • Mustard and ketchup (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chaffle Batter:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed meal, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, almond milk, olive oil, and nutritional yeast. Mix until smooth and well combined to form the chaffle batter.
  2. Cook the Chaffles:
    • Preheat your waffle maker according to manufacturer instructions. Once hot, pour a portion of the chaffle batter onto the waffle maker and cook until golden and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter to make additional chaffles. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Burger Patties:
    • In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans using a fork or potato masher until they form a chunky paste.
    • Add the cooked quinoa, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed black beans. Mix until well combined.
    • Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
  4. Cook the Burger Patties:
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the burger patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden and heated through.
  5. Assemble the Chaffle Burgers:
    • Place a chaffle on a serving plate. Top it with a vegan cheese slice, lettuce leaves, a burger patty, sliced tomatoes, sliced onions, and pickles. Add mustard and ketchup if desired. Top with another chaffle to create the burger sandwich.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
