Have you ever eaten something that is just so amazing you have to stop mid-chew and contemplate what you just put in your mouth? Well, I can tell you these veggie burgers are the definition of that very moment. I’ve had many pre-made veggie burgers bought from the grocery. Most were gluten-free, vegan, good, quick, and easy, but once I discovered my soy-allergy they became a no-go. So what was a girl to do without her quick veggie burger option? Make her own!

I am a big fan of veggie burgers and I love to try different types so this chickpea and veggie-based burger is definitely a hit with me. I can’t wait to make it.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Me too! I love trying new combos!
Nikki Frank-Hamilton
These look delish, and I’ve never worked with chickpeas, but I’ve seen 2 recipes lately that use them, and I think that I need to jump into working with them. They are packed with so much goodness, I really need to add them to our diet. I have been eating less meat and my daughter is a vegetarian, this would work for us, hugely! Thanks for sharing!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Ha, well than you should see today’s recipe!
Beverly
These veggie burgers look great. I like making my own veggie burgers so I can put in what I like and make sure there is nothing added.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Yes, exactly!
Amberjane
Rebecca I am going to try this over the weekend as part of my Barbecue – I love a good veggie burger! 🙂

Janet Vinyard
Hi Rebecca, Sounds and looks delicious! I like making my own veggie burgers too as I find the prices too high on the commercially-made ones. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Blessings, Janet
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I know! Some are $5 for just 2 burgers! Insane!
Kileen
Thank you for sharing! Two of my daughters are vegan and I am trying to find more recipes so we can all eat dinner together. This sounds like something we would all like!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I know you ALL will love these!

Rebecca, I’ve eaten a lot of veggie burgers in my day, and this sounds like a great one! Though I’m not vegan, that is my ideal. I was vegetarian at one time, but my husband does not thrive on it and I don’t have time to prepare different meals. But I eat a lot of vegetarian/vegan lunches. And I have developed lots of gluten-free recipes for my growing number of GF friends. I look forward to trying this gorgeous burger!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I’m sure you will love this burger! It’s so hearty and delicious. It does not fall apart and really stands up to anyone’s test!

These look so much better than the store-bought versions! And so much healthier 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
This is such a classic! Once I started making my own burgers, I never went back! So easy, plus they don’t have any nasty additives or allergies!
kristen
Looks so good! Will be trying it soon 🙂
strengthandsunshine
Great! Let me know how you like them!
mvwinter27
I have to say I’m really impressed by this recipe before even trying it. Most recipes for veggie burgers that I see are really involved and have a ton of ingredients that I’ve never heard of- let alone want to go out and find/buy just to never use again. This seems really straightforward and I’m excited to give it a try!
strengthandsunshine
That’s one of the things that drew me to this version! So many veggie burgers have tons of nuts and grains and just seem so heavy. This one is nothing like that and so adaptable!
Health, Love, and Chocolate
I have tried a few recipes for veggies burgers but would love to develop my own. These look great!
strengthandsunshine
These are a must try!
