Ingredients

  • 1/2 16 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 onion, finely diced

  • 1/2 tbsp chili powder

  • 1/8 cup raw oats
  • 1/8 cup, pureed avocado

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mash the beans to break apart.

  2. Blend the red pepper, onion, and garlic in a food processor until tiny chunks are formed. Stir this into the bean mixture.

  3. Next, add in the egg, spices, and avocado. Stir together well, then mix in the oats.
