If we’re friends, or you just know me from my blog or my socials, you’ll know I’m vegan and I’m very bloody worried about the climate, what we’re doing to the planet and the future we are leaving our children/grandchildren, nieces and nephews/children of our friends {by looking at it that way, we’re including everyone – not just those of us who are parents!}.

The simplest and most immediate thing we can do as individuals to have an effect on climate change {which, to be honest, can feel insanely overwhelming most days!} is to stop eating animals and animal products.

No Meat May sets the challenge to each of us to go a month without meat. This is easy in our home because I’ve been vegan for almost 4 years and vegetarian for about 5 before that. A lot of people I know, however, wonder what on earth they will eat if they aren’t eating meat and dairy. So I decided to share 1 recipe every day for the month.

black bean burgers

Today I’m back over at Veggies Don’t Bite for these super tasty, gluten-free, vegan black bean burgers. Most people I know love a burger. They’re easy to make for a crowd because everyone adds the toppings and condiments they like.

I’m usually the deconstructed burger girl because I find the buns mean too many carbs for my fragile constitution {ha ha ha} but the upside of that? More toppings and more condiments!

With this recipe, I leave out the hot spice so Love Bug can have a less spicy version and then I layer on the Sriracha mayo sauce. I also add in some vegan bbq sauce to the pattie mix. Yum!
