These Greek Black Bean Burgers are a great meatless option. Make a batch on the weekend to have on hand for quick, easy meals throughout the week!
Hi Friends!
When I said I got my act together this weekend, I really meant it. Not only did I take pictures so I could post the Sweet Potato Banana Bites, but I also FINALLY took pictures so I could share the recipe for my Greek Black Bean Burgers. Can I just say that I hate taking pictures of burgers? They’re kinda ugly. Don’t let that deter you, though. I promise they taste great!
To say we’ve been obsessed with these burgers lately would be putting it mildly.
We’ve been eating them for lunch, for dinner, on salads, on a bun, and even crumbled in our omelets. They’re easy and super versatile, as well as extremely delicious!
Here’s the recipe:

These were inspired by the Asian Black Bean Burgers I made a few weeks ago. The basic formula is the same. I just tweaked the ingredients to give them a Greek spin 🙂

Lindsay says
DEFINITELY true.
Lindsay says

Kierston says
Yummmm! I love how you added hummus to it!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
You did a great job with the pics! Brown food is so hard. Pics in general are hard… I’d post twice as many recipes of I didn’t feel like it required halfway decent pics. Lazy, I know…
Lindsay says
haha agreed!
Jess says

Ive never liked bean burgers until recently so I will def try your recipe! Whenever I make quinoa I have tons of leftovers so this is perfect for it!
Lindsay says

Helen says
These look delish! I am a HUGE fan of black bean burgers. I love hummus too. 😉 Thanks for posting! It’ll be on my to do list. But first, time to buy black beans and some hummus.
Lindsay says
awesome! hope you love them 🙂
Brad Gouthro Fitness says
Just made 2 batches of your sweet potato banana muffins. One with and one without protein powder. Of course the one without tastes better!
Lindsay says
of course 🙂
Molly @ Just Your Average Athlete says
Haha burgers really ARE tough to take pictures of aren’t they?? I feel like that about any “meat” pictures I take of my dinners etc. I just say, “I swear they taste good!! Please believe me!” 😛
Lindsay says
haha i know!
Becky @ Olives n Wine says
These look amazing! I love how simple they are – sometimes homemade veggie burgers can be a lot more complicated!
Lindsay says
i agree! i try to keep things simple!
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast says
Sharing these in Sunday’s menu link up, yum!!
Lindsay says
yessss. thanks lady!
Nutmeg Nanny says
These burgers look great! Perfect for Meatless Monday’s!!!
Lindsay says
thank you!!
ErikaMC says
I really like Greek flavors. What would be a good quinoa substitute?
Lindsay says
hmmm, not sure. i’ve found that quinoa really helps my meatless burgers stick together. you could try brown rice maybe? or oats?
Emily @ FitMamaInTheCity says
These seriously have all my favorites in them. And look so much better than the Asian ones if that’s possible. These need to be made asap
Lindsay says
hope you enjoy them!
jobo says
YUM!! MUST try this variation too!
alicia says
These look/sound awesome! I happen to think burgers make for beautiful foodie porn photos. I don’t know why, but if you can capture the burger and all its layers just right, it’s a beautiful thing! LOL Maybe that makes me a weirdo… :/
Lindsay says
haha not weird…i know what you mean… i’m just not very good at actually doing it!
Jody - Fit at 55 says
I need to hire a cook! 🙂
beka @ rebecca roams says
Thank you for this recipe! IMO it looks delicious. But in my eyes it’s hard to make a burger look bad (unless it’s in a paper wrapper (aka fast food)) I’m totally going to make it this weekend and see how it satiates with the boyfriend as he is on a no meat for lent kick but craving it so badly. 🙂
Lindsay says
awesome! let me know how he likes them!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
I am such a fan of homemade veggie/bean burgers, so these look so good. I love the unique use of Greek-inspired ingredients. Where do you find the Greek seasoning?
Lindsay says
i just found it in the spice aisle at my regular grocery store…it’s just all-purpose Greek seasoning!
Akaleistar says
Looks good!
Arlene @ Adventures in Weight Loss says
I love the Asian burgers, so I’m going to try these soon.
Lindsay says
hope you like them!
Penelope D says
Hi,
Stupid question: Is the quinoa cooked?
Lindsay says
yes! it is cooked.
Amanda says
Those side salads look fabulous too. Got to say i like my salads with a drizzling of lightly roasted pumpkin seeds on top. So easy to do and they taste so good. Apparently better for you than nuts as well.
Steph @ SeeStephRun.com says
This looks DELICIOUS. I must try these!
Leanne Meriton says
If you made 6 burgers out of this recipe – how many calories and how much fat would be in each?
