These chickpea and almond burgers make a great meat free, cruelty free burger.
Plus they’re gluten free as the recipe uses almond flour (ground almonds) to bind the mixture together. Of course, you can always use any other flour you have, but you may want to use less if using plain flour.
The grated carrot also acts as a binder and adds moisture preventing the burger mixture from being too dry.
With just eight ingredients, it takes no time at all to make these vegan chickpea and almond burgers.
High in fibre, with healthy fats including omega 3 from the flaxseed, these are super quick and easy to make.
A true happy meal, unlike your standard meat burger with added salt and who knows what else!
Serve them with my sweet potato wedges (recipe here) to add an extra serving of veggies to your already healthy plant-based burger.
