Best Veggie Burger – this turned out fabulously, I confess I have never used tofu in a veggie burger before, but you couldn’t taste it and along with the hemp and sunflower seeds this is loaded with protein. Add this to your summer repertoire.

Mushroom, Hemp, Oat Veggie Burger! Delicious, healthy, full of protein veggie burger.
Ingredients
- ½ c raw sunflower seeds, toasted and cooled
- 8 cremini mushrooms, chopped and sauteed in a little olive oil and cooled
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and cut in fourths
- ½ cube extra firm tofu, drained and patted dry
- 1 t cumin
- 1 t crushed red pepper
- 2 t grill seasoning
- salt & pepper
- ¼ c hemp seeds
- ¼ c chopped parsley
- 1 ½ – 2 c old fashioned oats
- barbeque sauce
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except for oats in food processor, process to combine.
- Add half of oats and process to combine.
- Add more oats to reach desired consistency.
- You want the mixture to hold together when forming into a ball.
- When mixture is at desired consistency, roll into balls and then flatten into patties.
- Refrigerate until ready to cook (this might not be necessary but, I always refrigerate my veggie burgers to firm up before cooking).
- Barbeque, bake or fry in a little oil topped with barbeque sauce.
- We barbequed these on a little rack. I am always afraid they will fall through the grates otherwise.
- Served with Veganaise, dijon, tomatoes, spinach, avocado, and red onion.
- Also made oven fries (combine 4 or 5 large red potatoes with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper in a ziploc bag).
- Heat oven to 375 degrees, put cookie sheet in oven while oven is preheating (this is important and the trick to not having your fries stick to the pan).
- Once the oven is heated up, pour the fries on the prepared pan, be careful, it’s hot!
- Roast for about 20 minutes, and flip fries over, cook until desired doneness.
- If the are not brown enough, turn the oven to broil for a few minutes to brown but, watch carefully so they don’t burn.

Those look great!! Thanks for visiting my blog! I’ll have to try these…they are a completely different version than mine
They were really good, the picky 14 year old even liked it and had the leftovers for lunch, which is a ringing endorsement!
I immediately showed this burger to my son that is avid burger eater and all I heard was “ooh!” I love this shot especially with that mushroom. That is a good one
Yeah, these were tasty. My daughter usually only likes bean based veggie burgers but she really like this one. The sauteed mushrooms really add a lot of flavor.
I know a lot of vegetarians who have been looking for a burger recipe, looks like I may have found something for them! and I noticed Hemp in the ingredients, Intriguing….

This is different then your typical veggie burger, holds up well, loaded with healthy but tasty ingredients, a winner!
I’m looking forward to trying this recipe. I don’t have hemp seed and couldn’t find it at the store. I do have flax seed. Could I substitute?
You could definitely use flax seeds. Our bodies don’t process whole flax seed as well as ground, so I would throw the flax in the food processor first.
