Pumpkin may seem like a strange base for a burger but this mix of flavors is sure to surprise!
Pumpkin not only adds flavor, but a healthy dose of nutrients. A cup of pumpkin puree has just 49 calories and includes 3 grams of fiber and a mix of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
When buying canned pumpkin be sure to choose 100% pure pumpkin. Stay clear of pumpkin pie mix, as it’s full of sugar.
Leftover cooked patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. They’re an easy on-the-go lunch option and can be eaten warm or cold. To freeze for later, cook per instructions, let cool, freeze on a baking sheet for 3-4 hours and then transfer to a freezer bag. To enjoy, remove as many as you need and heat them up for a quick meal.
For a traditional burger style, serve between 100% whole grain bread topped with greens, onion, tomato, guacamole, hot sauce or sweet & spicy BBQ sauce. This patty is also delicious over a bed of leafy greens.
I used this stand mixer for this recipe: Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

Hi – eager to try this recipe? What about using black beans or other beans? Thanks!
We haven’t tried other beans but they would likely work. Let us know what kind of bean you try!
