What can you serve these Keto plant-based burger patties with?

You can serve this burger patty with anything you prefer. You can place it between lettuce leaves for a light and refreshing option, or you can grill large portobello mushrooms and use 2 to resemble a bun. For a more traditional burger, serve it in a Keto bun. As for toppings, you can go as classic or creative as you prefer. Top it with vegan cheddar, onions, tomatoes, vegan bacon, etc. Of course, don’t forget the condiments!

Can you omit the psyllium husk from this recipe?

Unfortunately, you cannot. The psyllium husk is the binding agent in this recipe, and without it, the burger patties would fall apart. Also, it adds a chewy texture, similar to that of meat, all while adding fiber and a ton of nutrients.

Can you add the mushrooms raw to this recipe?

We don’t recommend adding the mushroom raw since they have a high-water content. Chopping then cooking the mushroom releases excess moisture, makes it chewy and intensifies the umami flavor.

What can you use instead of walnuts?

The walnuts in this Keto plant-based burger add another level of flavor and texture. For a plainer substitute, you can use raw almonds or cashews. For a nut-free version, you can use sunflower seeds.
