💰Cheaper: water + coconut extract

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water + coconut extract maintains the coconut flavor.

1

Peel the sweet potatoes, keeping the skin on if desired, and cut them into chunks.

2

Place the sweet potato chunks into a pot of water with salt and bring to a boil.

3

Boil the sweet potatoes until they are super soft, about 5 minutes, then drain the water.

4

Mash the boiled sweet potatoes in a bowl until smooth.

5

In a skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over below medium heat.

6

Add chopped white onion to the skillet and fry slowly for 4-5 minutes until slightly browned.

7

Add 1 tablespoon of garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of allspice to the onions and mix well.

8

Combine the onion mixture with the mashed sweet potatoes and mix for about 2 minutes.

9

Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes before adding flour.

10

Add 4 tablespoons of wheat plain flour to the mixture and mix until well combined.

11

Shape the mixture into burger patties.

12

In a flat skillet, heat some oil over medium heat and add the patties.

13

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, flipping them frequently to avoid burning.

14

Pat some oil onto the patties while cooking for extra flavor.

15

Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
