The best vegan Mushroom Burger: Easy homemade mushroom patties (that don't fall apart) served with caramelized red onions, mango chutney and fresh arugula in pretzel buns. So good!
I don't usually call my recipes 'the best ...' but sometimes you just got to make exceptions, especially when they are as amazing as these vegan mushroom burgers.
Over the last couple of years, I've had my fair share of terrible veggie burger patties (fell apart; mushy on the inside, tastes like nothing) but since I've found the magic combination of rolled oats, sunflower seeds and moisture from the veggies (that I also used in the Green Veggie Burgers), I've made some of the best burger patties ever.
Why these burger patties are amazing:
These vegan mushroom burger patties are
- easy to make (when you have a food processor)
- made without the use of weird egg replacements
- baked in the oven with minimal oil
- freezer-friendly (see recipe notes for instructions) and
- they don't fall apart (that's a winning argument for me! :D)
I have served these vegan mushroom patties in homemade pretzel buns with fresh arugula from the garden, mango chutney, and caramelized red onions. Of course, you can make any variations you like! You can use all kinds of store-bought or homemade burger buns. Serve them with BBQ sauce or vegan mayo. Add fresh tomatoes, avocado, lettuce... The possibilities are endless.
But I have to say, my combination was amazing, so you might want to give it a try! :)

Ingredients
Vegan Mushroom Patties
- 1 pound fresh button mushrooms
- 1 red onion
- ½ cup raw sunflower seeds
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup fresh dill
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- canola oil for brushing the tops
Additional Ingredients for the burgers
- 6 pretzel buns
- ¼ cup mango chutney
- 1 cup arugula
Instructions
- Prepare the pretzel buns and mango chutney.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- Clean the mushrooms and cut them in half. Cook them in a pan without oil on medium to high heat until they are soft. Set aside and let them cool off a bit.
- Peel and cut the red onion in rings. Slowly caramelize the red onion in a pan while adding bits of water when it starts to stick to the pan.
- Transfer the cooked mushrooms and about ⅓ of the caramelized onions to the food processor. Add sunflower seeds, oats, breadcrumbs, fresh dill, and salt. Process until combined. You should be able to form 6 patties. If the mixture is too crumbly add tiny splashes of water, if it's too sticky add more breadcrumbs.
- Place the mushroom patties on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spray or brush them with oil. Bake the patties in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them once halfway through. They should be slightly browned.
- Assemble your burgers: Slice the pretzel buns open, add fresh arugula, the mushroom patty, spread mango chutney on top and add leftover caramelized onions. Enjoy!

A friend gave me a large bunch of oyster mushrooms so I made these for my not so mushroom loving family. I didn't have fresh dill, so used 2 tsp of freeze dried dill but otherwise followed the recipe as printed. They came out great! My family really loved them with a little BBQ sauce, the caramelized onions and some baby greens.
Nice texture, and I love that you use a pound of mushrooms and not just a token amount mixed with beans. These are the real deal!
Bianca says
Awesome, so glad you liked these! Good to know they work with oyster mushrooms too :)

I’m 16. I did it and the first time i made any vegan recipe it went awesome!!! Of course not as delicious as meat but pretty good. I wanted to try eat less meat because of the global warming☹️
Christina says
hey! first time trying one of your recipes and these were mind blowing! Literally the best vegan burger I've made. Most of the time they fall apart and the texture is very off. So, I was quite amazed that these worked so well without egg or flax egg etc. Looking forward trying your other recipes!

"The Best" says it all. Yummy.....and held together too.
Gail says
We liked them. Nice flavour and held together well. We put them in brioche buns, wrapped in foil and took them to our local beach.
Only thing I would ask is how to cook the middle a bit more? It was a little gooey still. Higher heat or longer?
Loraleigh says
Hi Do you have any substitutions for the mango chutney? Is it a must have ingredient?
Bianca says
The mango chutney is totally optional, I just liked the mango & mushroom patty combination, but feel free to add any other sauce like mayo, ketchup, bbq, salsa :)

I made a mushroom burger yesterday but lest out the oats & just used bread crumbs. Since I' watching my wright, I made it small & served it on a mini bagel with a tiny bit of mozarella cheese. Delicious!
