These no nonsense nut burgers are great. I have yet to find a recipe or a restaurant that makes as good of a version. Serve with chips... tortilla, blue corn, sweet potato, or other veggie chips.

I spent a rainy Saturday making five different kinds of veggie burgers from the site. I wanted to load up the freezer because summer is a busy time for us and these would make for easy suppers. I have to say this has been our least favorite burger so far. It is just so dry. I added Moroccan seasoning and served them in pita with cucumber sauce. Even with the sauce they were just overwhelming dry. I think it's the nuts. None of the other recipes used nuts. I love nuts, but apparently not in my veggie burger. It seemed to get worse the more you ate it. Our stars lowered throughout the meal. I couldn't bring myself to finish one. It was better with feta and olives but that's only because they were making the lack of good flavor. I'll not be making these again.

Kinda fall apart-y but still tasty.

Hubs thought these were OK, I thought these were the closest thing to a hamburger that I've had yet. Mine fell apart, so I might try the wheat gluten if I make them again per another user's suggestion. Mine also made 4 large patties, not two. Overall, not a bad veggie burger.

Smashed blackbeans with green onions are better in this than the lentils. I also added some Wright's Liquid smoke (Hickory flavor), and 1/4 cup strong black tea to help with forming the patties.

This is a good veggie burger recipe, although I found that it made "4 servings" or large patties rather than 2 as written on recipe. I do also believe it needs a lot more spice, they tasted just a little too bland for my tastes but found that when reheated the next day the texture and taste was a lot better than when first making them. As for the crumbling and falling apart, try adding in "vital wheat gluten" if you're not allergic to wheat products; it helps hold them together. Next time I will add in more onion, minced garlic, seasoning salt and whatever else my spice cupboard entices me to.

Awesome texture! But you need to majorly "doctor" it as it was so bland the first time I made it. I added two crushed cloves of garlic, half a veggie onion bullion cube (crumbled) and topped it with garlic mayo. I also pureed less than HALF (the half included all the egg, bullion and garlic) of it and barely mushed the other half, so it would stick. This was one of the best veggie burgers I've ever had!

Wow! These were incredible, even after reheating for leftovers the next day! I used a combination of walnuts and almonds, and only had dried parsley. I skipped the cheese, used a regular bun and topped them with tomato, scallions, and ranch because that's what I had available. I followed the proportions, and got 4 large patties, not just two. I will make these again and again!

So good. The fresh parsley is essential!

I give this recipe a 5, but I made several changes to add more nutrition & flavor. I used only 1/2 can garbanzo beans and added another 1/2 cup of lentils. PLUS, 2 cloves finely chopped garlic, 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

My husband and I thought these were pretty good. I added half a cup of diced mushrooms and used some peanuts instead of sunflower seeds, because that is what I had on hand. I followed the other users advice and used 2 eggs and refrigerated them for a couple of hours. But they still fell apart. Tasted good, but they didn't stay as one patty. We ate them as a regular burger, on a bun with tomatoes, lettuce, ketchup. YUM. But, I wonder what will make them stay together?

I too wish I had read the reviews. My burgers didn't stay together at all but I crumbled them up into a salad instead. Added cilantro to the mix and it was fantastic. H

I guess I should have read the reviews before embarking on this adventure as my patties sadly crumbled upon flipping if following the recipe as is. It's not a flavour for everyone but it's not bad at all.

WE love this. They taste great, are simple to make, and brown up and look appealing! There are 5 in my family and I double the recipe. We have eaten them plain and on buns but haven't tried the pita and avacado yet.

We're tough on ratings, but we would still give this four stars. We all liked the flavor and texture. Only one of the five of us didn't like the nutty flavor. To make them stick together better I've heard you should refrigerate them for an hour or so before cooking. They were a little crumbly, but we didn't find it too bad. The avocado is a great compliment. We didn't use the ranch dressing since we are vegan.

Made this one last night - quite good except I ended up with about 6 burgers not 2! Also, next time I will try and add another egg. While the burgers didn't crumble in the pan - they crumbled very easily after they cooled..

The texture of this was really great, and it didn't take very long at all to make. The avocado tasted good on top, and I added a little salsa. Don't let the nuts scare you off on this one--the flavor is excellent!
