Best Vegan burger Recipe you say!? OH Yah I say! These burgers are made with a lot of flavour and a lot of love, Yup- definitely a labour of love. I have been trying to make an amazing, juicy, won’t fall apart, grillable, delicious vegan burger for ages now! and …I think I nailed it!! Thank you Vegan Burger Gods! I was seriously about to throw in the towel.
This recipe is easy to make and the patties freeze beautifully . I start by soaking my whole grain bulgur in boiling water, and setting aside for at least 30 minutes. Next get your food processor in action. I add the mushrooms in three batches, you want the size pretty small but not all mush (See video below). Then start adding all your seasonings and liquids. When your bulgur wheat, is ready drain it well, toss it in and give it all a mix. Lastly incorporate your Vital Wheat Gluten and then mix by hand for 2-4 minutes ( 2 usually does it). If your mix seems a little wet, it’s all good !
You can cook these patties in advance, chill in fridge ( for later) or freeze then reheat on bbq, oven or frying pan. They will be just as moist and delicious !! So there you have it cook up a batch, toss in your freezer for your next Bbq. If you can’t find Vital Wheat Gluten in your grocery store, check your health food store or find it here. You can also find Worcestershire sauce here and Bulgur here. That’s it people, go pull out your food processor and get cooking!
These vegan burger patties are:

Notes
- I like Follow Your Heart vegan cheeses, the Jalapeño Havarti is really good, cheddar is too, and I like the Daiya Jalapeño Havarti as well, and its cheaper.
- Nutritional Chart below is calculated without the Vital wheat Gluten as gluten levels change.
- It is calculated with 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat flour instead

Wow thanks so much Ellie! You made my day, hope you enjoy the burgers. I’d love to know what you think of the recipe😊
Do you really need the coconut oil or any oil? What is the purpose? Sounds good though.
Hi Regina you could definitely omit the oil, and they will still be great,just adds a bit more juiciness 😊. If you make them let me know how it goes!
When I mixed in the vital wheat gluten, it became ‘tough’ immediately and could not really mix it. Why did this happen?
Sorry to hear that Christine! I make these all the time and that has never happened to me . Did you mix all other ingredients first before adding the gluten? mushrooms, onion, cooked bulgar, liquids, coconut oil, and spices-. I’m truly stumped!!
love Your recipes, a minor point. I think you need to use –Better Than Bouillon Vegetarian No Beef Base
vs Better than beef Bouillon
Thanks so much for pointing that out Mark! I’ll change that right away, obviously I don’t use beef bouillon, lol.
have a great day!
Is the Bulgar Wheat needed, is their anything to substitute it with?
I really recommend using Bulgar wheat, but I’m sure rice would work, it just won’t have the same texture. Bulgar wheat gives the burger a nice chew.
Let me know how it turns out! Have a great day Dominique!
This recipe looks so good! I’m going to have to get my husband to make it haha. I don’t cook much.

Haha thx Gina, enjoy! Let me know how it goes.
Thank you for the recipe Verna. I made the burgers last weekend for my family, and they were a hit. I did what you suggested and baked them in the morning, and my husband bbq’d them for dinner. I was worried at first because I pulsed the mushrooms quite a lot but i think it worked in my favour. Thx again this ones a keeper!
