Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can black beans drained
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400F and mash the black beans coarsely.
  2. Mix in oats, cumin, chili powder, and egg until it holds together.
  3. Roll the mixture into small balls and place on an oiled baking sheet.
  4. Brush with olive oil.
  5. Bake 22 to 25 minutes, turning once, until firm and crisp. Serve warm.

Notes

Let the mixture rest 5 minutes so the oats absorb moisture before rolling.
