Sweet Potato & Black Bean Veggie Burger

I LOVE MY SWEET POTATOES! 

And I'm running low on food supplies, due to leaving town in a few days. I used one sweet potato, 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 a can of black beans, some onion, cilantro, and spices. I made a half recipe and was able to make 5 patties, which I can save for the next few days! 

Original recipe is from Cookie and Kate, found here: http://cookieandkate.com/2013/sweet-potato-black-bean-veggie-burgers/

Ingredients:

• 1½ pounds sweet potatoes (smaller potatoes cook faster)
• ⅓ cup millet
• 1 cup old fashioned oats (use certified gluten-free oats if you are avoiding gluten)
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained (or 2 cups cooked black beans)
• ½ small red onion, diced
• ½ cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 2 teaspoons cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon chipotle powder or smoked hot paprika (I omitted)
• ½ teaspoon cayenne powder (optional, to taste)
• ½ teaspoon salt

1. Remove skin of the sweet potato and cut up into cubes. Boil a pot of water and add the sweet potatoes and boil until soft and able to mash. 

2. Grind the oats into a flour.

3. Dice the onion and chop the cilantro. 

4. Add the onion, cilantro, sweet potato, black beans, and spices together. Lastly mix in the oat flour.

5. Make patties out of mixture and cook in pan with oil until browned.
