EASY VEGAN BAKED BEANS

This is a less-sweet baked beans recipe that's better the second day. I really like the different flavor of this one. Although the recipe says to cover while cooking, I left it uncovered since it seemed juicier than I wanted. This was no problem and it did work to thicken them up. From Eden Organic Foods.

VEGAN BAKED BEANS A LA CROCK POT



Vegan Baked Beans a La Crock Pot image

At the time I'm posting this there are two other vegan baked bean recipes on the Zaar, both look really good. I didn't find one for the crock pot however, using dried beans and no tomatoes.....so hopefully this fits that bill for someone else out there! I found the recipe online - http://www.beanbible.com. There are only a few things I tweaked, one being Bakon yeast. Unfortunately not something I'm at all familiar with or have ever seen in the stores, but I found out a little more about it and replaced it with some nutritional yeast & liquid smoke. Adjust the heat as you wish. NOTE: Soak the beans ahead of time (night before). The cooking time doesn't reflect the overnight soaking of the beans, but it does reflect the crock pot cooking time if set to low. Hope you enjoy!

Time 8h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups dried navy beans (sub kidney beans if you wish)
1/3 cup unsulphured molasses
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or more if you choose)
2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
3 drops liquid smoke (optional)
3 teaspoons Braggs liquid aminos (or sub light soy or tamari)
2 medium onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sea salt
pepper
water
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Night before: Soak the beans in plenty of water.
  • When you're ready to get the crock pot going, drain the beans then add them to a large pot on the stove. Cover them with fresh water and bring to a boil, boil for 15 minutes and then drain.
  • While the beans are boiling, mix together the molasses, sugar, mustard powder, cayenne, nutritional yeast, liquid smoke and braggs/tamari in a bowl.
  • Turn your crock pot to low. Add in the par-boiled beans, the molasses mixture, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Add enough water to just cover the beans, stir again. Lastly, add in the bay leaves.
  • Cook on low until beans are very soft, about 8 hours. Check periodically and add more water if need be - you don't want it to dry out, and all depending on your crock pot -- it could. Adjust seasoning to your taste. Enjoy with some crusty bread and a salad!

MAPLE MISO VEGAN BAKED BEANS



Maple Miso Vegan Baked Beans image

Miso, maple, garlic, and other seasonings make for a flavor bomb of a baked bean situation. The perfect vegan potluck dish!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound navy beans (small white beans)
6-8 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1/3 cup white miso
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
3 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari (use the latter for gluten-free beans)
4 medium cloves garlic (grated or finely minced (I use a Microplane zester to grate))
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger (from about 1 thumb-size piece (I use a Microplane for this too))

Steps:

  • Rinse and sort beans. Soak by placing in a large pot and covering with 8 cups of water and then letting sit overnight. You can also use the quick-soak method: Place in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Boil for two minutes, then remove from heat and cover. Let sit for one hour.
  • Drain soaked beans and place in a large, oven-proof stock pot along with 6 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium and a gentle boil. Cook, uncovered, for about 45 minutes, until the beans are tender and the skins peel when you blow on them.
  • While the beans cook, stir together the remaining ingredients: To a small bowl, add the miso, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, dry mustard, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Whisk until smooth.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Once the beans are cooked, remove from heat. Stir in the miso-maple mixture right into the bean and cooking broth.
  • Set uncovered in oven and cook for about 90 minutes. Check every 30 minutes, and if the beans are looking too dry, stir in a bit more broth. The beans are done when the sauce has thickened and the batch of beans has browned somewhat around the edges.
