In reply to Erin Blaisdell. Hi Erin, glad you liked, and sorry it did not bind well! VeganEgg by Follow Your Heart is great for binding. (This product came out long after I made these burgers). Mixing the equivalent one VeganEgg (whisk product in freezing cold water) should help hold everything together next time. Good luck!

This was my first attempt at a vegan burger and it really was delicious! I had a bit of difficulty keeping it together so I wanted to know what I could add to help it bind better. I did use fresh shiitake mushrooms so that could have been the issue. Thank you!

In reply to Anonymous. The vital wheat gluten is really what holds and binds this together, making it a burger, and I'm not sure what else could do that. Or, you could try to add something like tahini or panko to get it to stick together, but I can't guarantee that that would work. However, if you want to leave it out, this would create more of a crumbly kind of burger that could be served as a hash.

Hi I'm interested in making this but dont have any wheat gluten! Is there a substitute I can use or is it mainly in the recipe to provide extra protein?

Thanks Caitlin! I wish you could have seen that lentil burger — it was a hockey puck! A very inspirational hockey puck, though.

i feel the same way about vegan food in traditional restaurants. it's almost as if they want to shove in your face that they don't care to cater to vegans, and just nuke a burger..or throw some carrot sticks and broccoli on a plate and call it the veggie platter.

this burger puts them all to shame. it looks so scrumptious and like you can really sink your teeth into it!
