- 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed

- 1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon agave nectar

Instructions
For the Burgers:
- Prepare the grill for medium-high heat.
- Cook sweet potato in microwave until tender. Measure 1/2 packed cup of mashed sweet potato, and add to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the black beans and mash with a potato masher.
- Add all of the other veggie burger ingredients. Season thoroughly with salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Divide veggie burger mixture into four evenly-sized balls. Flatten each of the four balls into patty-shaped burgers.
- Cook on the grill until heated through, about 10 minutes.
- Place each veggie burger on a lightly toasted burger bun. Top each burger with coleslaw (instructions below) and avocado slices. Serve.
For the Coleslaw:

- Place a heaping spoonful of coleslaw on top of each burger. Serve remaining coleslaw as a side dish.
Notes
As an alternative to the avocado and coleslaw toppings, these veggie burgers also taste great with classic American toppings: cheddar cheese, ketchup, and yellow mustard.
