Sweet Potato Burgers

Quick post tonight - sorry I haven't been posting recently.  Kind of got attacked by integrals/derivatives.  It was rather scary, to tell the truth.  But it's all good - got some excellent grades, and I'm feeling good about life right now..
ANYWAY

Adapted from How Sweet Eats

Roughly blend/ mash
  • 1 sweet potato, cubed and cooked
  • 1 tbps flax meal mixed with 1 tbsp water
  • 1 cup white beans
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced and sauteed
  • 1/3 cup bread cumbs

*A note on the buns: I managed to get my hands on some white whole wheat flour this weekend, and used that to make the buns.  They turned out much better!  Yum!
