Burger King Brings Back Its Bean Burger – How To Make It Vegan

Burger King UK is reintroducing its bean burger for Veganuary 2024, offering diners a plant-based option. The Ultimate Bean Burger is made with black beans, mushrooms, sweet red pepper, and green chili, coated in a tortilla chip crumb. To make it vegan, customers can simply order it without the dairy cheese topping, as the mayonnaise is already egg-free and plant-based. Burger King has been making strides towards offering more meat-free options, with plans to be 50 percent meat-free by 2030 and even converting its flagship store in Leicester Square to fully vegan for a month in 2022.

While the Ultimate Bean Burger is a step towards more plant-based offerings, it still contains dairy by default. The dairy industry is known for its cruel practices and negative environmental impact. For those looking to explore more vegan burger options during Veganuary 2024, there are plenty of supermarket own brand and plant-based brand options available, as well as the option to get creative and make your own at home.
