Black and Refried Bean Salsa Burgers

OK...so I know this sounds REALLY weird with a banana in a bean veggie burger ...but I couldn't really taste any banana flavor.  And.. I had a banana  I wanted to use so I figured...why not !!!   For the salsa, I actually used pumpkin salsa.

Ingredients:

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can refried beans
1/2 cup salsa
1-1/2 cups crushed corn flake cereal
1 cup Quaker old fashioned oats
1/4 cup Wheat Gluten 
1 Tbsp dried cilantro
2 tsp dried minced garlic
1 tsp dried minced onion
1 tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/3 cup green bell pepper, chopped
2 Tbsp peanut butter
1 mashed banana

Directions:

In a bowl, mash the black beans to desired texture.   Mix in all the rest of the ingredients.

Form into patties and cook.  I cook them on my   Cuisinart 5-in-1 Griddler for about 15 minutes.  If you want to bake them in the oven, bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes.
