Vegan Baked Beans
Wanna eat some baked beans without the fat and sugar that comes with using canned beans. Try this recipe. I really like the texture of the beans and mild almost BBQ favor of the sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup tomato paste
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

- 3/4 cup low sodium vegetable broth
- 3 15oz Cans great northern beans drained and rinsed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, until semi-translucent.
- Add the garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the paprika, chili powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper and cook for 2 more minutes, until the spices are fragrant.
- Add the tomato paste, maple syrup, molasses, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke and stir for 1-2 minutes, until well-combined.
- Then, add the vegetable broth and stir until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Add the beans and stir for 1-2 minutes, until evenly coated.
- Cover and bake for 40 minutes, until the beans are bubbling. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes, or until desired consistency is reached.
- Stir well and serve.
