Heat a splash of oil in a pan and sauté the shallot and garlic for a few minutes until translucent.

Mix the black beans with the sautéed shallot, garlic, and olive oil in a food processor until you have a firm, coarse mixture. Season with paprika and fresh herbs. Stir the oatmeal and corn kernels into the mix and season to taste with salt and pepper.
*If the mixture is too sticky, add some extra oatmeal or breadcrumbs.

Shape the mixture into 4 burgers with your hands and place them on a rack with baking paper. Bake the burgers in the oven for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through.

The burgers are delicious on a bun with lettuce, tomato, and garlic sauce.
