#### Step-by-Step Instructions

##### Step 1: Prepare the Flax Eggs
First things first, mix the flaxseed meal with water in a small bowl. Set it aside for about 10 minutes until it turns into a gel-like consistency. This is our vegan binding agent, aka flax eggs!

##### Step 2: Get that Quinoa Cooking
While the flax eggs are setting, cook your quinoa according to package instructions. Once it’s done, let it cool.

##### Step 3: Smash Those Beans
In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher. They don’t need to be perfectly smooth—you want a bit of texture for chunkiness.

##### Step 4: Combine Ingredients
Add the chopped onions, grated carrots, minced garlic, cooked quinoa, oat flour, soy sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and salt and pepper to the mashed beans. Mix it all together until it’s well combined.

##### Step 5: Form Your Patties
Add the flax eggs to your mixture and give it a good stir. With clean hands, form the mixture into burger patties. You should be able to get about 6-8 patties, depending on your size preference.

##### Step 6: Cook the Patties
Heat a pan over medium heat and lightly oil it. Cook each patty for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside. Alternatively, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

##### Step 7: Burger Assembly Time!
Now comes the fun part—assembling your burger! Spread some vegan mayo on your toasted burger buns, layer with lettuce, tomato slices, avocado, pickles, and of course, your super tasty veggie patty.

#### Helpful Tips & Personal Insights
– **Customize your flavor:** Feel free to add different spices or herbs to suit your taste. I sometimes add a dash of chili powder for an extra kick.
– **Texture alert:** If your mixture seems too wet, add a bit more oat flour. If it’s too dry, a splash of water or veggie broth will do the trick.
– **Meal prep magic:** These patties freeze wonderfully. Just form them, place on a baking sheet, freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag. They’re perfect for those busy weeknights.
