These Chickpea Burgers are a great meatless meal! They are packed with flavor from added vegetables, buffalo sauce, and spices. Even meat-eaters will be pleased!
Combine the chickpeas, garlic, paprika, granulated garlic, salt, mustard, and Buffalo sauce in a large blender. Pulse until everything is well combined and the chickpeas are broken down, scraping down the sides as needed.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the chopped onions, and panko breadcrumbs and lightly mix until well combined.
Shape into 8 even burger patties.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Working in batches, add 3-4 of the burger patties to the pan and cook for 5 minutes on the first side. Carefully flip the burgers and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side. Remove the cooked burgers from the pan and repeat with the remaining burger patties.
Serve the chickpea burgers on whole wheat buns with desired toppings.
Notes
If you don't have a blender or food processer, you could mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher. It will take longer, and the mixture won't be as fine as if it's blended.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
The patties can also be frozen by putting them on a baking sheet after they are done cooking. Once they're completely frozen, transfer them to a ziplock freezer bag. Reheat them in the oven at 400 degrees for 15-10 minutes.
