The Best Vegan burger Recipe Ever you say!? OH Yah it’s a Winner! These Ultimate Beefy Vegan Burgers are the best ever and made with a lot of love, Yup- definitely a labour of love. I have been trying to make a juicy, won’t fall apart, delicious, grillable veggie burger recipe for ages now! and…
…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 vegan veggie patties freeze beautifully.
How to make the best Vegan Burger Recipe Ever:
I start by soaking the 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 to the food processor in three batches, ( depending on the size of your food processor) you want the size pretty small but not all mush (See video below). Then add all your seasonings and liquids.
When your bulgur wheat, is ready drain it well, toss it in and give it all a mix.
Now 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 !
Lastly form & Bake your vegan patties!😊 For Full Recipe see Recipe Card Below.
You can cook these vegetable patties in advance, chill in fridge ( for later) and then bbq 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!

The Best Vegan Burger Recipe you say!? OH Yah it’s a winner. These Ultimate Beefy Vegan Burgers are the best ever and made with a lot of love, Yup- definitely a labour of love. I have been trying to make a juicy, won’t fall apart, grillable delicious veggie burger recipe for ages now. I think I nailed it!
Ingredients
BURGER MIX
- 1 and 1/2 lbs white or brown mushrooms ( approx 700 grams)
- medium onion ( diced small)
- 1 tbsp oil ( for onions)
- 1/2 cup Bulgar Wheat
- 1 cup water ( for bulgur wheat)
- 1 and 1/2 cups Vital Wheat Gluten
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 1 tbsp Bbq sauce ( I like Bulls Eye Bold Original)
- 2 tsp boullion paste ( I like “Better than Bouillon Vegetarian No Beef Soup Base”)
- 1 tbsp refined coconut oil ( for burger mix)
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce ( I like ‘Annies‘ or “The Wizards”)
- 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 Tbsp Chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
BURGER TOPPINGS 😄
- 8 – 10 Burger buns
- Vegan Burger Sauce Recipe
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Tomatoes
- Red onions
- Pickles
- Hot banana peppers ( I love them 😄)
- Vegan cheese ( opt) ( see notes*)
- Lettuce
- And whatever else floats your boat👍
Instructions
- Heat up a small skillet, on med heat and add little oil, S&P and saute your onions for 5 minutes or so then set aside.
- Add the bulgar to a soup bowl and add 1 cup boiling water, cover, and set aside for 30 minutes
- Pre heat oven 350°
- In your Food Processor, process your mushrooms. (You might have to process your mushrooms in two or three batches depending on the size of your food processor) , making them quite small, but not mushy ( see video),and add to a large mixing bowl. Then add the sautéed onions, seasonings and liquids.
- Add Bulgar when ready( don’t worry it will be very chewy, thats good) Mix it all together.
- Lastly add in the Vital Wheat Gluten, and stir until combined and then mix by hand for 2 – 4 min ( 2 is probably good😊) It is ready when you see strands forming in the burger mix.
- Form 1/2 cup patties on a lightly oiled large non stick sheet tray. Spray tops of patties lightly with cooking spray, (optional).
- Bake the patties for 25 min, flipping them halfway through
- Remove the patties from the oven add cheese and broil couple of minutes, ( cheese is optional)
- Grab a Burger, and a bun and build your Burgers.
- Enjoy !!
REHEAT FROM FROZEN:
OVEN: preheat 350° cook burgers 5-7 minutes on each side.
STOVE TOP: heat a cast iron or non stick skillet on med heat, add a tbsp or so of oil, cook 3-5 minutes on each side.
GRILL: heat the grill to med/high heat, and lightly oil (pre cooked) burgers, grill 3-5 minutes each side.
Notes
- I recommend cooking burgers first in oven then bbq if desired
- 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
- 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!

Thank so much John, glad you like the recipe😊
I don’t like mushrooms what can substitute them.
This recipe took me awhile to perfect, so unfortunately I don’t think there is a substitute. The flavour isn’t super mushroomy if that helps. My husband is not a big mushroom fan and he loves these burgers😊 Have a great day May!
Awesome burger recipe! Thank you!
