It's unreal how similar this tastes to the canned stuff, but without any of the preservatives or artificial sugars. Saucy, sweet, and salty - baked beans are a comfort food classic. The best part is that this version is on the table in under 15 minutes, uses only one pot, and required no baking. Aim to use date syrup if possible, otherwise substitute with maple syrup.

Baked Beans
- 2 (15 ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
- 5 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon(s) date syrup
- 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon(s) blackstrap molasses
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
- 4 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon(s)water Slurry
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot or corn starch (Note 1)
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
- Step 1: Stir the slurry ingredients together with a fork in a small bowl until a smooth slurry forms. Set aside.
- Step 2: Combine all baked beans ingredients, except the slurry and the water, in a medium-sized saucepan. Stir over medium heat until well combined for 1 to 2 minutes. Now add the water to the mixture. Stir and reduce heat to medium.
- Step 3: Stir the slurry if it has settled. Pour the arrowroot slurry into the beans, stirring continuously until combined. Continue cooking and stirring for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the beans are thick and slightly reduced. It should look just like the canned stuff.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with favorites like mac and cheese, coleslaw, and/or homemade cornbread.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Corn starch will also work here, but you may need to use slightly less of it.
