- 1 C prepared or homemade hummus
- 2 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 8 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained

- salt / pepper to taste
- 1 ½ C quick cooking oats

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking tray with parchment paper (or lightly oil tray). Pulse beans and spinach in food processor, do not puree, you want to keep some beans intact. Transfer the beans to a large bowl and add the cilantro, chilies, spices, flax meal and salt/pepper. Once integrated, add in the oats by ¼ C at a time. Refrigerate mix for at least one half hour to overnight. Shape patties. Lightly spray the patties with cooking spray and bake on each side for about 12-14 minutes. Serve warm. Place in bun and top with chipotle hummus.
Chipotle Hummus
