Mushroom Veggie Burgers

These mushroom veggie burgers are full of flavor; they are meaty and satisfying, you won’t even miss the meat!

If you are looking for a simple, flavorful recipe for veggie burgers, look no further.   These veggie burgers are made with portobello mushrooms, walnuts, quinoa, and vegetables.  Unlike many of the packaged veggie burgers which contain cheese, wheat gluten, and other mysterious additives these burgers are vegan, dairy and gluten free.

I was out with my daughter for lunch recently, and she ordered a veggie burger.   When she took her first bite she saw bits of zucchini and carrots and said: “hey there are vegetables in here.” We both laughed at how silly that sounded because isn’t that what’s supposed to be in vegetable burgers?  While the packaged veggie burgers are quick and easy,  most brands have very few vegetables and a LOT of fillers in them.  Have you ever taken a look at the ingredient list on a package of veggie burgers?  The vegetables are way down at the end of the list.

Double this recipe and freeze what’s left for a quick dinner.  They are fragile so I suggest to cook them before freezing so you can  just reheat and eat.

Here’s how you make them. . .
