Vegetarian Molasses Baked Beans: perfect side for the next BBQ! Plant-based, no refined sugars, gluten & oil free!
Ingredients
  • 5 cups of cooked pinto or kidney beans (we used a combo, 4 cups kidney and 1½ cups of pinto, because that's what we had)-equals about 3 cans of beans, since we made our own, we threw in the extras
  • ¾ cup of prepared tomato sauce (we used Wegman’s Organic Marinara Sauce)-be sure to check the label so you know you're getting quality ingredients, and that they're plant-based
  • ½ cup of mustard
  • ⅓ cup molasses
  • 1 cup of chopped onion (we used a red onion)
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, we use Bragg's Raw Vinegar
  • ¾ tsp liquid smoke (or smoked paprika)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  3. Pour into a baking dish, the one I used was about an 8x10 oval.
  4. Cover with foil and bake for about an hour, or until the mixture is nice and bubbling (really, it's hard to overcook them)
  5. Take the cover off, and let brown up, about another 15 minutes.
  6. These beans are even better the next day, and are awesome cold too!
  7. They make a great side, seen here with my
