Although there are special cases such as burning hydrogen in a chlorine atmosphere without oxygen, what you and I would normally call burning is exothermic (i.e. releasing heat) oxidation. The result of burning is therefore a compound (most commonly oxide), not an element.
There is a reverse process called reduction where the oxygen is removed from the compound, often at high temperatures. This process can in theory yield a pure element from an oxide. Note though that this is not burning as the heat has to be supplied to the reaction externally (endothermic reaction).
