Vegan Boston Baked Beans

This quarantine has my family eating a lot of beans. So i have been trying new ways to prepare them. So I decided to make Vegan Boston Baked Beans.

I was watching Mythical Kitchen last night, and they were showing all the fun ways to eat beans during this pandemic. They did shakshuka, black bean brownies, and the oh so delicious baked bean. But they used bacon fat…which I will not 🙂

When I say these beans are good, it is an understatement. They have an amazing addictive quality. Almost like a sweet and tangy bean jam. My daughter ate bowlful after bowlful…each bite followed by an enthusiastic mmmmm….

What is great about this recipe is its easy execution. I used canned beans, which of course is a huge time savor. These aren’t overly sweet like your typical canned baked beans.

These are a great side dish to any meal. Perfect along any protein, toss it along with some pasta or rice. Also try it with some fresh homemade bread.
