Made these for dinner tonight, and they were a big hit with the family. Thought I'd share!

I made them without any oil or peanut butter and they were delicious! I cooked them on the stove in a dry cast iron skillet and they browned up really nicely. I served them over mixed greens with baked sweet potato fries on the side. This is a new favorite meal for my family. Hope you enjoy!

These look great. Thanks for the recipe and how you served it! Will be tomorrow's dinner.

Oh Yum-O. Can you use any kind of hot sauce? They look so pretty. Cant wait to try them. And I dont have chickpea flour. What can I use? Whole wheat flour?

Yes, you can use whole wheat flour. I'm sure you can use any hot sauce. I actually didn't have any hot sauce, so I sprinkled a little chili powder in there for a kick. They turned out great.

I tried these tonight and they were wonderful. This is definitely a keeper. I used some wheat flour and a little pea flour. Didn't use the hot sauce, hubby doesn't like heat. Didn't put in the p-nut butter. They were great.

Made these tonight and they were absolute winners!! Is there a McD recipe hall of fame??

Notes: used about 1.25 cups of frozen spinach rather than fresh. Recipe says it makes 6 burgers. We got 4 good sized ones and two of us ate them all with baked potato fries and a salad. Skipped the peanut butter and oil.

This is the best veggie burger I have ever made. I used Trader Joe's peanut flour instead of the peanut butter. Otherwise I stuck to the recipe.

However, these burgers taste rather like falafel, not a problem per se, but I am wondering if it is from the cumin or the chickpea flour. I will experiment with the spices a bit, but am not sure where I am going yet I hate to mess with the texture, but I wonder what would happen if I processed the chickpeas just a little bit, leaving large chunks. Might increase the burger-ness of the patties. I have eaten the leftovers for two days on my salad, just a room temp patty, very good.

I intend to make a large batch and freeze for quick snacks.

Thank you for posting this.

I did process the chickpeas and I really liked them. They held together well and there was no problem with them falling apart.

These were great! I did mash the chickpeas a bit, and substituted 1 Tbsp tahini for the the peanut butter. Also, I had a head of fresh endive so I chopped that up and used it instead of spinach--it was quite a bit, maybe 4 cups chopped before cooking. I ended up with 8 medium-sized burgers.
I broiled them 10 minutes on a side in my toaster oven, no oil at all.

I think these would be great with any kind of greens, like mustard greens too. I'm not sure about kale, but maybe I'll try that sometime. This recipe would be a great way to get greens down a green-phobic eater!

I like fiddler3's idea of making these ahead and freezing for snacks. Maybe little 2-inch size pieces. Yum!

I just made a batch of these for a BBQ on Monday. I mashed the chickpeas a little bit, so they were about 1/2 the regular size, and then used peanut butter powder instead of mixed peanut butter. They look really good and the tiny one that I made to taste was wonderful! I think they'll be great for the holiday.

These sound wonderful! I end the potato mini on Thursday, then I can start eating beans agin. Can't wait to try this one.

Could someone post the recipe or a link? I don't seem to be able to connect using this link. Thanks! I love new recipes with good reviews

Yum! I can't wait to make these this weekend...and I actually have everything but the hot sauce...but were not to big on it, so I will leave it out. Oh, and I too will be using Wheat flour as opposed to chick pea as I don't have that....but I'll get some cuz it sounds good!

Thanks for sharing!

They look so nice!!
