How to Make Perfect Vegan Burgers with Easy Whip from Special Ingredients

Do you want to make delicious vegan burgers at home? Here’s how to create legume and vegetable burgers using the right ingredients, binders, coatings, and cooking methods for amazing results. With Easy Binder® from Special Ingredients, crafting vegan burgers that are firm and flavorful has never been easier!

Vegan Burger Mixes

The combinations are endless, but balance is key for a nutritious burger. For a protein-packed option, try a Pea protein, Soya protein, Ultratex burger. If you want a creative take on vegetables, zucchini, cauliflower, or eggplant burgers are great choices. The secret is to use Easy Binder® for a perfect consistency that won't fall apart.

Ingredients to Bind the Mixture

A good burger needs a cohesive mix that doesn't crumble, and this is where Easy Binder® from Special Ingredients shines. It's an ideal binder to provide structure, making your burgers easy to handle and perfect for cooking. Here are other useful binding ingredients:

• Potatoes: Cooked and mashed, they thicken the mixture thanks to their starch.
• Legumes: When blended, they absorb excess water and keep the mix soft.
• Legume flours: Such as chickpea flour, perfect for binding or adding a crunchy crust.
• Quinoa: Blended, it acts as an excellent binder due to its sticky texture.
• Breadcrumbs: Add crunchiness and help keep the mix firm.

Cooking Vegan Burgers

For a light cooking method, bake the burgers in the oven at 180-200°C on a tray lined with parchment paper, turning them until golden. Alternatively, for a tastier version, cook the burgers in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil for about 5-6 minutes on each side until a crispy crust forms. With Easy Whip, your burgers will hold their shape perfectly, no matter the cooking method.

How to Store Vegan Burgers

Make extra burgers and freeze them to always have some on hand. Place them on a tray, separating each one with parchment paper, so you can defrost only what you need each time. Thanks to Easy Binder®, the burgers will maintain their texture even after freezing.
