Juicy Mushroom Patty Burger Recipe (100% Veggie!)

 

You want something hearty, meaty-ish, and *definitely* not sad desk salad. Enter this mushroom patty burger recipe. These are juicy, umami-packed little guys stacked with caramelized onions and melty cheese.

Oh, and if you’re feeling extra, toss in some gluten-free yakisoba noodles on the side because carbs are life. I first whipped these up when I found a bag of sad mushrooms lurking in my crisper, and now they’re on rotation every other week. Even my burger-obsessed neighbor asked, “Wait, there’s no meat?” Boom

These are the proof that plant-based patties can be just as satisfying—and even healthier! Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just looking to cut back on meat, these savory mushroom burgers hit the spot.

 

Ingredients List

This recipe combines earthy mushrooms, creamy cashews, and aromatic herbs for a patty that’s packed with umami flavor. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 cup cremini or portobello mushrooms (fresh and firm)
  • ½ cup raw cashews (soaked for 2 hours)
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (for a cheesy depth)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for umami)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (for a smoky kick)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp flaxseed meal (as a binder)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
  • Burger buns (whole wheat or gluten-free)
  • Toppings (lettuce, tomato, avocado, vegan mayo)

Substitutions: Use almonds instead of cashews, or swap flaxseed for chia seeds. For extra protein, add cooked lentils to the patty mix.

Timing

Preparation: 20 minutes | Cooking: 15 minutes | Total: 35 minutes

This mushroom patty burger recipe is quicker than most meat-based burgers, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner. The soaking time for cashews can be done ahead, reducing active prep to just 10 minutes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms

Finely chop the mushrooms and sauté them in 1 tbsp olive oil until they release their moisture and turn golden brown. This step enhances their natural flavor.

Step 2: Blend the Patty Mixture

In a food processor, combine the sautéed mushrooms, soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and flaxseed meal. Pulse until the mixture is sticky but still slightly textured. Take out and mix thoroughly in bowl.

 

Step 3: Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into thick patties. For extra stability, chill them in the fridge for 10 minutes before cooking.

Step 4: Cook to Perfection

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes per side until crispy and golden. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.

Step 5: Assemble Your Burger

Toast your burger buns lightly, then layer them with a creamy spread (vegan mayo or hummus), lettuce, tomato, avocado, and your mushroom patty burger. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Serving Suggestions

Elevate your burger with these creative toppings: caramelized onions, pickles, or a spicy avocado salsa. Pair it with a fresh side salad or roasted sweet potato fries for a complete meal.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Overmixing the patties: This can make them gummy. Pulse just enough to bind the ingredients.
  • Skipping the chilling step: Unchilled patties may fall apart while cooking.
  • Using too much oil: Stick to 1 tbsp per batch to avoid greasiness.

Storing Tips for the Recipe

Store cooked patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness. For meal prep, freeze uncooked patties for up to 1 month.
