Vegan Quinoa Veggie Burger Recipe
Vegan Quinoa Recipes: Easy Healthy Quinoa Burgers
Easy, healthy vegan quinoa burger recipe: Quinoa veggie burgers are a sure way to get your kids (or anybody else) to eat quinoa.
Start with cooked quinoa, for quinoa burgers ready to eat in a jiffy. Even better, make the veggie burger mix ahead of time so you can enjoy fast food quinoa burgers!
Quinoa burgers make a delicious meal served with roasted potatoes or a hearty soup like pinto bean soup.
For a perfect summer meal, add all your favorite veggie burger fixings, corn on the cob, and potato salad.
For a light meal, skip the bun and fixings. Serve this quinoa burgers with steamed veggies or a green salad.
Cooking Tips: Make extra quinoa burger mix so you'll have enough patties to freeze (cooked or uncooked) for healthy fast food meals at home or to take along. Cold quinoa burger patties make great sandwiches. Substitute millet for quinoa if you prefer. The cooking method is exactly the same.

Black Bean Veggie Burgers Lentil Burgers Tofu Burgers Walnut BurgersComments Or Questions About The Quinoa Burger Recipe:
Question: Are these burgers able to "hold together"? - Louise J.
Answer: They hold together pretty well, though not as well as tofu burgers. Everything binds together as they cook. And it helps if you have time, to chill the mixture for an hour before cooking.
Awesome burgers! I even did a couple on the bbq though I did not flip them in case they started falling apart. I did also add some nutritional yeast because I love the stuff! I also didn't have flax seed meal so I used regular flour, maybe this helped bind it together better? The hummus I used was a spicy store bought variety and gave the burgers a kick that I really liked... for those who like spicy add some crushed chilly peppers;). Thanks! Ken R.
We love this recipe, though no store I've been to can identify "brown rice powder!" I just double the flax meal. I also use a little less hummus, making the burgers less mushy, and they hold together better - Dennis E.
Thanks for all your comments! I've tweaked the recipe,substituting potato starch OR wheat flour for brown rice powder, and doubling the amount. I decreased the hummus to 1/2 cup, decreased the tomato paste to 1 Tbsp, and added egg replacer as an alternative to flax meal. That should make the burgers stick together better. I do think that chilling is an important step though - Savvy Veg
