The ready mix for vegetable burgers is a versatile powdered blend. I wanted to stop buying those anemic soy cutlets they sell at the supermarket, partly out of laziness and partly for convenience. With the ready mix I have the convenience of always having a blend in the pantry, stored in a jar, to make vegetable cutlets and burgers.
After making the breaded chickpea cutlet and the sea chickpea cutlet, I thought of sharing this ready mix on the blog hoping you like it and that it may be useful for any occasion. The combination of ingredients I prepared can be customized to your tastes by changing or adding other types of flour, legumes and various spices.
Now, let’s see how it’s made, then go wild with flavors. Enjoy!!

Ingredients
- 5.3 oz soy flour
- 3.5 oz oat flour (or oat bran)
- 3.5 oz chickpea flour
- 1.8 oz rice flour
- 1.8 oz fine corn flour
- 2.8 oz instant mashed potato mix (powdered)
- 1.8 oz potato starch (or cornstarch)
- 1.1 oz carrot flour (or pea flour)

- 0.4 oz brewer's yeast flakes (deactivated)
- 1 tablespoon heaping tablespoon of ground spices: (onion, garlic, parsley, rosemary, chili pepper, sweet paprika, turmeric, ginger, coriander)

Preparation
1 – Prepare each ingredient one by one and place them in a large bowl.
2 – Toast the chickpea flour in a nonstick pan for a few minutes.
3 – Chop the walnuts and grind the flax seeds. A coffee grinder for the flax seeds is ideal.
4 – Mix everything together: flours, seeds and spices, and store the mix in a glass jar.
5 – To make one generous burger of about 3.5 oz you need 4 tablespoons of the ready mix and warm water as needed to obtain a soft, malleable dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
6 – After resting time, shape the burger and cook it in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil. You can also fry them after breading with a chickpea batter, or simply bake them in the oven.
