Cornflakes Double Beef Burgers, gluten-free
Get ready for the best Cornflakes Double Beef Burgers! The lean beef patty is coated in crunchy cornflakes and cooked until perfectly golden and crisp on the outside, whilst staying juicy, tender, and moist on the inside. Served on a toasted gluten-free bun, with creamy mayonnaise and a sweet but spicy sriracha with all the fresh toppings. Easy to make, these can be cooked in the oven, pan, or air fryer. Let's begin!
Cornflakes Double Beef Burgers are our go-to dinner when we're craving comfort food but want to avoid unhealthy, fried, battered, and gluten-contaminated takeaway foods. Using gluten-free cornflake cereal as a coating, not only tastes AMAZING but ensures a crispy coating every single time, and using a lean burger patty, makes sure it tastes meaty and wholesome, making it the perfect combo.

Helpful Tips
Burger Patties: Ensure you use extra lean burger patties for a balanced, delicious, and nutritional meal. I've used Peppercorn Extra Lean Beef Burgers. It's also important to flatten the burger patties to 0.5-0.8cm thick as this way the center is cooked at the same time the cornflake coating is golden.
Egg Batter: Sometimes gluten-free flour is difficult to break down in a liquid. I recommend adding the egg batter ingredients to a Nutribullet or processor and blitzing for 5 seconds if this is the case with the gluten-free flour you are using.
Fry, Airfry, or Oven Bake: For an even healthier alternative, air fry or oven bake in a preheated appliance for 15-20 minutes at 190°C fan forced, making sure the coated patties are sprayed with olive oil before airfying or baking.

Cornflakes Double Beef Burgers, gluten-free
Serves 3
Prep 15 minutes
Cook 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Burger Patties:
6 Extra Lean Beef Burger Patties (I used Peppercorn as they're extra lean beef)
3 cups corn flakes, gluten-free
3 small eggs (or 2 large eggs)
2 tablespoons plain flour, gluten-free
1 tablespoon milk of choice
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon pepper
Burger toppings:
Burger buns, gluten-free
Sliced cheese
Lettuce
Pickles
Red onion
Mayonnaise
Sriracha mayonnaise or Hot sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the beef burger patties: Using a spatula or burger press, flatten each burger patty to 0.5-0.8cm thick. Place onto baking paper to prevent it from sticking.
2. Prepare the cornflake crumb and batter: Place into a bowl the eggs, milk, paprika, garlic, pepper, and gluten-free flour and whisk to create a thick, but runny batter (it may be easier to combine by adding the ingredients into a Nutribullet or blender to blitz). Next place the cornflakes into a bowl and crush with your hands into smaller bits, resembling crumbs.
3. Coat the beef burger patties: Dip each beef burger patty into the egg batter and then into the crushed cornflakes, pressing down to ensure the burger is well coated. Repeat with remaining beef burger patties.
4. Cook the beef burger patties: Place enough light olive oil to cover the base of a large frying pan. Once hot, reduce heat to low and place the beef patties into the pan, no more than 3 at a time to prevent overcrowding. Cook for 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining beef burger patties.
5. Assemble the burgers: Toast the burger buns, and spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Layer the lettuce, then one cornflake beef burger, a slice of cheese, then a second beef burger, creamy sriracha mayonnaise, onion rings, lettuce, pickles, and mayonnaise. Top with the other half of the bun and enjoy!
Note for air fryer or oven bake: For an even healthier alternative, air fry or oven bake in preheated appliance for 15-20 minutes at 190°C fan forced, making sure the coated patties are sprayed with olive oil before airfrying or baking.
