Tips:
- Use dried beans for the best flavor and texture. If using canned beans, be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
- Soak the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking. This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
- Cook the beans in a slow cooker or on the stovetop over low heat. This will help to prevent them from becoming tough.
- Add salt and other seasonings to the beans towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to prevent the beans from becoming tough.
- Mash the beans until they are smooth or to your desired consistency. You can use a potato masher, food processor, or immersion blender.
- Sweeten the bean spread to taste with maple syrup, honey, or sugar.
- Add other flavorings, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg, to taste.
- Serve the bean spread on toast, crackers, or fruit. You can also use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
