Instructions

Start by all of the burger ingredients to a food processor and pulse until broken down and well combined. **NOTE: If too sticky, add additional breadcrumbs until it's 'paste-y' enough to form into a ball.**
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Now, form mixture into medium-sized patties with your hands to ensure that everything sticks together well. Repeat until all mixture is used.
Carefully put the patties onto the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Lastly, top each patty with the sauce fully and let patties bake for another 5-6 minutes on broil, until sauce has become a glaze over them and it is no longer 'wet-like'.
To assemble, prepare your burger buns, top with greens, then add your burger patty, and top with guacamole or any other condiments of your choosing.
Bon Appetit!

Notes

Homemade Spicy BBQ Sauce: 15 oz. can of tomato sauce, ¾ cups water, ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, 2 Tbsps sriracha sauce, 2 tsps ground mustard, ⅓ cup agave syrup, 2 Tbsps pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.

**Whip together: Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat and whisk together until it begins to boil. Reduce heat to low-medium and let everything simmer for about 15 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. Once thickened enough to desired consistency, remove from heat and let cool. Set aside until ready to use or store remainder in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.**

HOMEMADE BUFFALO SAUCE (VEGAN + GF): To make your own buffalo sauce, Veganosity has a great recipe that is super easy!

For Flax 'Egg': Combine 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds + 3 Tbsps warm water and whisk until well combined. Let sit for 10 minutes.

HOMEMADE BREADCRUMBS: To make your own breadcrumbs, simply grind 1-2 cups of cubed gluten-free bread into a food processor until finely chopped. Place crumbs onto a parchment lined baking sheet and spread out evenly. Bake for 5-6 minutes in the oven set at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring occasionally. Once brown + crisp, remove from oven and let cool. Continue recipe steps and store remaining breadcrumbs in a tightly sealed container.

GUACAMOLE: Ingredients: 2 medium Haas avocados, 1 tablespoon juice of a lemon, pinch of sea salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, pinch of cayenne pepper. Directions: Peel avocados and place them in a medium bowl. Mash avocados until it becomes smooth and lump-free. Add lemon juice, seal salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir all ingredients together and set aside until ready to use. Refrigerate if necessary.

STORAGE: Leftover patties can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheated when ready to serve.
