Preheat oven to 375 F

Saute onions over low heat with olive oil until transparent. Turn up the heat to medium, add the mushrooms and cook until tender.

In a sauce pan, bring water and bouillon cube to a boil. Add quinoa, cover, turn heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Set aside to cool.

In a bowl, mix oats, black beans, egg whites and salsa. Add quinoa and mushrooms and mix thoroughly.

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Press mixture into patties and bake on sheet for 8 minutes. Remove from oven, flip burgers and bake 6 more minutes.
