- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine flaxseed and water. Let sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg.
- In a large bowl, mash black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some chunks for texture.

Notes
- Patties can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
- For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats and tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Grill carefully on a greased grill or use a grill pan to prevent sticking.
