Chipotle Sweet Potato Burgers

June 5, 2012 in Recipes

I have been waiting to try this recipe FOREVER, but something keeps coming up.  Dinners, lunches, people eating my sweet potatoes when I bake them the night before…. :O.  Speaking of baking sweet potatoes the night before, this is a great recipe to use up any leftover sweet potatoes/yams you might have.  You could also sub out these beans for garbanzos, cannelini, kidney, etc. if you already have some laying around.

I originally found a recipe on Healthy Happy Life, but had some chipotle peppers open from dinner last night, and decided to add those in.  I also switched out the flour for quick oats (seems to work well in veggie burgers) to make these gluten free.  These were a big success in the house, and are great with or without a bun (or in our case, Ezekiel bread).  I really liked them plain, but a few of my tasters said the chipotle mayo was a great finishing touch.
