Ingredient Notes, Substitutes, & Alternatives
- Chickpeas: Although this recipe is for chickpea patties you do not have to use garbanzo beans, white beans such as cannellini or butter beans will also work. I used canned chickpeas but you could use dried chickpeas which have been soaked overnight.
- Lemon juice: This can be substituted for lime juice or a little apple cider vinegar.
- Mint: This can be substituted for other soft green fresh herbs such as fresh parsley cilantro/coriander. If you use other herbs the flavor will be quite different.
- Bread crumbs: These can be substituted for rolled oats, oat flour or gluten-free bread crumbs.

Chickpea burgers can be prone to crumbling, adding breadcrumbs or oats can act as a binder. Failing this try adding 1-2 teaspoons for chia seeds to your chickpea burger mix.
