Makes 4 cups (1 L)
Classic recipes for Boston baked beans use navy beans, but any white beans work
well – my favorite are Great Northern. You can play around with seasonings. Add
a teaspoon of smoked paprika, thyme, savory, parsley, or Vegan Worcestershire
sauce. Add 1⁄4 teaspoon cloves, cayenne, or hot sauce.

  • ✓ 1 large onion, diced
  • ✓ 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ✓ 1 cup broth, water, or liquid used to cook beans
  • ✓ 3 tablespoons organic blackstrap molasses
  • ✓ 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ✓ 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ✓ 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • ✓ 3 cups cooked white beans (e.g., Great Northern, navy, or cannellini) (or use 2-15 ounce cans white beans, drained and rinsed)
  • ✓ 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ✓ 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  1. Put the onion and garlic in a large, heavy saucepan over low-medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the onion is slightly caramelized, about 7-10 minutes. If the vegetables start to stick to the pan, add a little broth or water.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the molasses, tomato paste, vinegar, and mustard powder.
  3. Add broth, and molasses mixture to the onions. Bring to a boil and stir.
  4. Add the beans, salt, pepper, and other seasonings of your choice.
  5. Decrease the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has turned into a sauce – about 30- 40 minutes. Serve hot.
