My Favourite Smoky Baked Beans! (Vegan, Gluten Free)



Hi guys!

I've been meaning to post this recipe for a while. I love making these baked beans in bulk on cold autumnal days, they make a great addition to sweet potato wedges, potato cakes, jacket potatoes or pizza! You could also have them on toast for breakfast with avocado, that would taste amazing! You can buy ready made smoky or BBQ baked beans, but these are often full of sugar and preservatives which aren't good for you at all! (the same goes for any tinned baked beans really). These beans are great for you and make you feel good, as well as being the most perfect comfort food! 


You Will Need:
  • 2x 250g tins of haricot beans
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 2x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp date syrup
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp harissa paste
  • 2 tsp cumin
Heat up 1 tbsp coconut oil in a pan, and add to it your garlic (peeled and crushed) and spices. Cook until browned and aromatic, then add your tins of chopped tomatoes, the date syrup and the molasses. Simmer this on a low heat for around 35 minutes until its thickened. Then drain and rinse your beans (make sure to rinse all the bubbles off - this is what can give you wind!) and add them to the tomato sauce. Heat through for around 10 minutes until piping hot and then season with salt and pepper. Now you're ready to scoff them!
