Indulge in the world of plant-based flavors with our Vegan Corn Patty Burger – a scrumptious creation that combines the sweetness of corn with a medley of vegan ingredients, all nestled between two perfectly toasted buns. This burger is a celebration of the bounties of nature and the art of crafting a satisfying meal without compromising on taste or ethics.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the kitchen, I found myself inspired to create a burger that not only delights the taste buds but also celebrates the beauty of plant-based ingredients. The idea for the Vegan Corn Patty Burger was born out of a desire to explore the incredible versatility of corn – a humble yet extraordinary ingredient.
My inspiration was sparked by a memory of strolling through a vibrant farmers’ market, where the bounty of fresh produce brought a sense of wonder. Among the colorful stalls, the sight of golden corn kernels beckoned to me, and I knew that I wanted to transform this simple ingredient into something truly special.
The kitchen became my canvas as I embarked on the journey of crafting the ultimate vegan burger patty. With corn as the star, I combined it with nourishing black beans, earthy mushrooms, and a harmonious blend of spices. The mixture came together with a hint of magic, forming patties that promised both flavor and texture.
As the patties sizzled on the griddle, the aroma of spices filled the air, and my heart swelled with anticipation. I knew that this burger was more than just a recipe – it was a reflection of my commitment to conscious cooking and creating dishes that bring joy to every palate.
The assembly was a creative process in itself. A toasted bun cradled the corn patty adorned with layers of fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and creamy avocado slices. A dollop of tangy vegan mayo and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro added the finishing touches, turning the creation into a work of art.
With each bite of the Vegan Corn Patty Burger, I was reminded that plant-based cuisine holds a world of flavors waiting to be explored. This burger is a testament to the wonders of nature, and I share it with the hope that it sparks the same delight and curiosity in your culinary journey.

Tip of the Dish
For a perfectly textured corn patty, avoid over-processing the ingredients in the food processor. Pulse just until the mixture comes together, ensuring a balance between the sweetness of corn and the hearty texture of black beans and mushrooms. This step will give you patties that hold their shape and offer a delightful combination of flavors in every bite.
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed and water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken and form a flax “egg.”
- In a food processor, add corn kernels and pulse a few times until roughly chopped. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- In the same food processor, add black beans and pulse until coarsely mashed. Add to the mixing bowl with the chopped corn.
- In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until translucent and fragrant.
- Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In the mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture with the corn and black bean mixture.
- Add the flax “egg,” ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Add whole wheat bread crumbs and whole wheat flour to the mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed and the mixture holds together.
- Form the mixture into burger patties of desired size and shape.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Brush with a little olive oil.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- To serve, place a cooked patty on a whole wheat bun. Add your favorite vegan toppings and condiments.
- Serve the Vegan Corn Patty Burger with a side of salad or sweet potato fries for a complete and satisfying meal.
