These thick, sweet & smoky slow cooked vegan baked beans need a little initial prep then you can leave them to do their thing while you do yours. You will be rewarded with a comforting & delicious pot of the most amazing baked beans with rich, deep & complex flavours.
Step away from that can of baked beans and make these Vegan Baked Beans instead. Just do it…..you will not be disappointed. They are totally awesome and I should know as I have eaten rather a lot of them in the past few months while trying to get this recipe just right. By making them you will not only be treating yourself to a delicious, nutritious meal, you will also be helping to support International Year Of Pulses.
INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE PULSE
2016 is International Year Of The Pulse as declared by the United Nations in 2013. The idea is to put pulses on the map as a primary source of protein and essential nutrients. Awareness of pulses will be increased globally and hopefully it will help to show that there is life after animal protein and decrease people’s reliance on the cruel and barbaric meat and dairy trades. Pulses too can help improve the sustainability of agriculture. Read more about this and get more information on pulses in general by visiting Pulse Canada.
So in honour of Year Of The Pulse I bring you my Vegan Baked Beans. These beans can be cooked in a slow cooker, on the stove top or in the oven so you can choose the method that suits you best. Any way you do it they take a while to develop their rich, complex, smoky flavour but this is all hands off time.
After a bit of initial prep , these Vegan Baked Beans simmer slowly for hours and hours until they are rich, thick, sweet and smoky. They have the most amazing complex flavour and the smell in the house while they are cooking is so good!
PERFECT FOR BATCH COOKING
This recipe makes a lot but reheats perfectly and will keep for up to five days in the fridge. The flavours continue to develop over this time and just get better and better. They also freeze very well for a convenient no effort dinner at a later date.
HOW TO SERVE MY VEGAN BAKED BEANS
I love to bake a potato in the oven until it is crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside, cut it in half, dollop on a bit of my Easy Vegan Butter, sprinkle with nutritional yeast (I love the Bob’s Red Mill brand) and mash it into the flesh a bit with a fork, then top with my thick, delicious Vegan Baked Beans. So, so good!
You can also serve them with some fresh bread or in the traditional English way, on toast. They also make a great side dish especially when they accompany my Bubble & Squeak Patties. A great dinner for getting lots of nutrition into unsuspecting children!
However you are going to serve them do it soon as I am sure you will love them! Let me know what you think by leaving feedback in the comments below. You can also share your pictures to my Facebook page or on Instagram or Twitter. Just be sure to tag me @avirtualvegan so I don’t miss them.
Vegan Barbecue Baked Beans
Ingredients
- 300g | 1.5 cups cups of small dried white beans , soaked overnight (measured before soaking - see recipe note if you forget to soak them) navy or great northern beans work best. If you don't have dried you may use 4.5 cups of drained canned beans
- 1 large onion , chopped finely
- 3 large cloves of garlic , chopped finely
- 28oz | 793g | 3 cups canned crushed tomatoes (see recipe note)
- 60mls | ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 80mls | 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
- 1 heaping tablespoon mustard (any wet variety)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 large bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes or powder (to give flavour not heat)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 heaping tablespoon smoked paprika , OR liquid smoke, (see recipe notes for advice on amounts) DO NOT use both. They both give good results.
- 240mls | 1 cup of water
Instructions
- First you need to cook your soaked beans (see recipe notes if you forgot to soak them) Drain off the soaking water, cover with fresh water and bring to a boil then simmer until the beans are just tender. 60 - 90 minutes should do it.If you are using canned beans skip this step. Once the beans have cooked, drain them and then continue onto the steps below depending on your cooking method.
Slow Cooker Method
- Add all of the ingredients to your slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours (I have left them for up to 10 hours in my crock-pot , or on high for 5 hours. Remember that all slow cookers are slightly different so I would suggest that you make sure you are semi around for the last couple of hours of cooking just in case your slow cooker runs hotter)
Stove Top or Oven Method
- Saute onions and garlic until transparent.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and cook over a medium heat until just starting to bubble.
- Turn down to low, cover and cook for around 3 hours or until the beans are very soft and the sauce is thick and rich. Check them often and stir to make sure they aren't sticking to the bottom or drying out. If they are just add a few drops of water to bring them back to the consistency you want.
- If baking in the oven once a simmer has been reached transfer to a covered oven proof dish and bake in a preheated oven on 300 ° F for 3 - 4 hours or until the beans are soft and the sauce is thick and rich. Again check every hour or so to make sure they are ok and not drying out.

August 11, 2019 at 8:59 pmThis recipe is good but I and others found it not well suited to be served at a barbecue. I made two recipes, one more traditional and this one. I always taste my seasoning mix before stirring it in. This mix tasted outstanding. Like really amazing but the other one not so much. However, after cooking, these tasted more like something that belonged on pasta. The recipe was followed to the letter and they were good but didn’t have the baked bean flavor they should have. The other dish was good but got way better the next day. However, we plan to use this in a few layered dishes that will likely be quite tasty
Denise says
July 23, 2019 at 7:23 amCould these also be made in an Instant Pot? I’m now addicted to pressure cooking (set it, forget it, but faster than the crock pot)! I work quite a lot of hours, so the faster, the better for me.

Melanie McDonald says
July 23, 2019 at 11:04 amI am actually testing them in my Instant Pot for the 4th time later today. They taste great but I’m having issues getting the beans creamy. I think pre-cooking them is going to be necessary which is a shame because I wanted to avoid that. But if you do pre-cook them, they should be ok and all of the ingredients can stay the same. I’m not sure on timings yet though so that will be a bit of an experiment if you give them a try! Watch this space for a fully tested and perfect Instant pot version soon!
Denise says
July 23, 2019 at 11:27 amThank you!
Vegan Cook says
July 12, 2019 at 1:30 pmI’m making this. I’m using dry Pinto beans. I halved the recipe. I soaked the beans overnight. It might be wiser, to soak the beans in a fridge, than letting them sit for hours on a counter. The beans were very plump. I pre cooked them after soaking, and the beans were slitting after only a half hour. If using a crockpot, I don’t think the pre cooking on a stove is needed. Just cook the beans and ingredients straight in the crockpot, but add the vinagar and tomatoes in the last half hour of cooking. I accidentally put in a half cup too much of water, so the whole thing was soupy. So, I ended up reducing the liquid off by cooking the whole thing in one of those Pampered Chef, plastic steamer pots., because it was the fastest way to get it at a temperature to turn the extra water into steam, and reduce it without taking forever in the crockpot, or simmering on the stove, where it might bubble over or burn. It took about 30 minutes in the microwave to reduce the water to a sauce. Otherwise, it’s a great list of old school home cooking, wholesome ingredients and herbs. I might just go from soak to microwave pot next time, or straight from soak to the crockpot. Cooking precooked beans in a crockpot for quadruple + hours, might turn the pre cooked beans to mush.

June 1, 2019 at 4:06 pmI have been looking for a vegan baked bean recipe that isn’t bland and this one is perfect! I only had big butter beans and used those. They were unbelievable and even my non-vegan husband couldn’t get enough. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe!
Melanie McDonald says
June 2, 2019 at 12:08 amI’m so pleased you both enjoyed the recipe Karen!
Kate says
May 12, 2019 at 4:09 pmThese are amazing. I can’t believe I made baked beans that tasted so good! I followed the recipe exactly using the stove top method and wouldn’t change a thing. Thanks so much!
Melanie McDonald says
May 14, 2019 at 8:06 pmThat’s awesome Kate. I’m really pleased you enjoyed them!
Denise says
January 15, 2019 at 2:33 pmThanks so much for yet another brilliant recipe. I used tinned beans as I only decided to make this recipe 3 hrs before my daughter and her fiancé visited and I I decided to rustle up something for lunch. I was going to put it in the oven until I realised the dish wouldn’t fit in the along with your chocolate chip banana bread (2nd time making that and again a huge succes) so I threw the bean mix into the slow cooker. I used a mixture of borlotti, haricot and falgelot beans (just what I had in the cupboard) and voila the best tasting beans i’ve ever had. Because the beans were already pre-cooked it didn’t need as long to cook as your instructions. Two days later and the taste has intensified and become even more delicious.
A Virtual Vegan says
January 15, 2019 at 9:21 pmBest tasting beans ever?? I’ll take that. Thank you! I love that you made these beans, the mac and cheese bites and the choc chip banana bread! Ha ha. You were busy!
Jason says
September 15, 2018 at 2:48 amMade this recipe with a couple of major alterations, using pomegranate molasses instead of blackstrap and adding a tin of patted dry young green jackfruit (was going for pulled pork kinda thing). I added a little extra Dijon mustard and liquid smoke. Me and my girlfriend found it too sweet, such a shame because everything else about it was great. Next time we will try less maple syrup and maybe try with blackstrap. I wonder if the smoke also contributes to sweetness?
Anthony says
November 1, 2018 at 2:16 pmDude. Why are you even leaving a 3 star comment if you changed the recipe?
Hannah says
July 8, 2018 at 9:58 amThis is one of the best things I have EVER tasted! I have only been vegan a week but recipes like this make me feel like this is achievable and that this is going to be a delicious and abundant rather than a restrictive life! Thank you times a million. Going to make this for family and friends to convince them too!! X
A Virtual Vegan says
July 8, 2018 at 3:02 pmThat makes me so happy Hannah. If I can’t make it taste as good as it’s non-vegan version then it doesn’t show up here so you should be pretty safe with my recipes. I am all about the FLAVOR! There is no going without here. Good luck to you on your vegan journey and I’m so pleased I can help make it easier!
Rhonda R Dore says
July 5, 2018 at 12:45 pmThese are just about the most delicious baked beans I’ve ever had, vegan or not. Because… Texas… I added a tad more chile powder, and not only are they smoky and sweet, they have a just-right little afterburn. Thank you so much for this recipe!
A Virtual Vegan says
July 5, 2018 at 5:36 pmThat makes me so happy Rhonda. Thank you!

Jodi says
May 31, 2018 at 3:53 pmDo you drain and rinse the canned beans first?
A Virtual Vegan says
May 31, 2018 at 8:03 pmThey need to be drained. You can rinse them if you like but I don’t tend to. Hope that helps!
Kim says
April 28, 2018 at 7:17 amDo you crush the garlic or use whole cloves? Thank you!
A Virtual Vegan says
April 28, 2018 at 10:46 amYou can chop or crush the garlic.
Cecelia says
April 24, 2018 at 8:13 amWhen you say “1 teaspoon of dried rosemary,” is that calling for ground rosemary, or is it a teaspooon of the whole little leaves? Thank you!
A Virtual Vegan says
April 24, 2018 at 12:01 pmIt’s a teaspoon of the whole little leaves. I’ve never seen it ground at the store. You could use fresh instead if you have some!
Cecelia Amundson says
April 26, 2018 at 7:52 amThank you for the quick reply! I’m making a triple recipe of these today for a large group. I think they’ll be yummy!
Jennifer Brasch says
April 6, 2018 at 8:20 pmHi, I am looking for a vegetarian baked bean recipe and this looks great! I’m wondering if you have any suggestions on adapting the recipe for preparation in an Instant Pot. I’m wondering about putting the soaked beans in the Instant Pot with all the other ingredients and some extra water, then cooking under pressure for 45 minutes. I could then use the saute function if I needed to thicken them up. I’m open to other suggestions. Thanks!
A Virtual Vegan says
April 7, 2018 at 12:57 pmIt’s funny you ask as I was thinking a few days that it would be good to make an IP version for the blog. I bet they would be great cooked in there. I never soak beans before I put them in my Instant Pot so I would probably put them in dried. I have an IP Black beans recipe and with that I use 1 cup of water for every 150g dried beans. They cook for 25 mins on high with NPR, 30 if you want them really soft. That recipe isn’t very saucy though. I’d be tempted to maybe try that with this recipe and with the addition of the tomatoes I think it would end up saucy enough. That would mean using 2 cups of water. However, my IP sometimes struggles with tomatoey recipes as the sauce ends up thick and it doesn’t like it, so maybe a bit more water might have to be added. it will be trial and error the first few times. All edible though I’m sure!
I’ll try to make them in mine for dinner this week. I think IP baked beans would be popular on the blog! Watch this space….
Jennifer Brasch says
April 8, 2018 at 8:02 amHi! I made 1.5 batches of your recipe in my IP last night. On the stove I boiled the beans for 1 min and soaked overnight. I sauteed the onion and garlic in the IP (used medium, should have done on low as they got too brown). I added all the ingredients (then drove with the pot to my in-laws for dinner) and cooked under pressure for 30 min. Beans had excellent texture but sauce was very watery. I used saute function on medium for close to 1/2 hour to thicken sauce. Also was quite vinegar-y (don’t know if mixture sitting before cooking was a factor). As I was at my in-laws with limited supplies, I added brown sugar to adjust the flavours. Probably added about a cup in total. I was very pleased with the final result–certainly by far the best vegetarian baked beans I’ve made. I would cut the liquid down next time, You don’t need to post this comment or you can edit it–I offer my feedback before you make yours. Thanks.
A Virtual Vegan says
April 8, 2018 at 3:56 pmThanks for letting me know Jennifer. I guess in the IP less liquid is needed overall, so I suppose in hindsight it makes sense to reduce the amount of vinegar. I’m glad you made them work with the extra sugar. You’ll probably get them spot on before I do!
Sam says
March 24, 2018 at 1:06 amDangerously addictive. We ate the whole batch in one evening!
Brittany says
March 23, 2018 at 5:45 pmCurrently in my crockpot. Used navy beans and all required amounts of everything. May be a dumb question but- they do not at all look like the picture. Navy beans are white (which I knew) but thought maybe they absorbed the colors of the other ingredients. This is not the case. They are still white and the whole thing is a bit liquidy. I’m 7 hours in and not too impressed. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you!
A Virtual Vegan says
March 24, 2018 at 3:27 pmHi Brittany. Sorry you aren’t having great results. It’s such a popular recipe and one that I make quite regularly myself for our dinners and it never fails to turn out well. They really do end up looking like the ones in my picture every time I make them and the beans do take on the orangey/red kind of colour. It’s hard for me to trouble shoot when I didn’t see your process or the ingredients you used, but the fact you say it’s liquidy kind of suggests something may have gone wrong with quantities somewhere. There is only 1 cup of water in the recipe and 3 cup of crushed tomatoes which are really pretty thick straight out of the can. Mixed with all of those beans (about 4.5 cups once they are soaked and cooked) it really shouldn’t be significantly liquidy, especially after cooking for 7 hours. Obviously there should be a sauce but it should be pretty thick and cling tot he beans. Other ideas:
Is there a chance your dried beans were old? When we buy them from grocery stores we have no idea how long they have been sat there. Old beans don’t get as soft so won’t soak up the flavours (and colours) so well.
There is a chance your slow cooker runs cooler than mine. Do you cook other recipes in it and find the timings ok?
To thicken the sauce in this case you could transfer it all to a pan on the stove top and cook over a low-medium heat without a lid until it reduces and thickens up. You would need to stir them frequently in case of sticking.
I hope that helps!
Angela says
January 24, 2018 at 6:50 amThe ingredient list calls for 1 heaping tablespoon of smoked paprika or liquid smoke; however, later on the text says to start with 1 teaspoon…possibly adding up to 1-1/2 teaspoon more. Gah! I’ve already mixed in the tablespoon…
A Virtual Vegan says
January 24, 2018 at 12:06 pmYou don’t make it clear whether you are using smoked paprika or liquid smoke. The quantity is 1 heaping tablespoon for the smoked paprika. If you use liquid smoke instead of smoked paprika it clearly says in the ingredient list to “see recipe notes for advice on amounts”. This is because different brands of liquid smoke vary in strength so much. That is why I advise adding it gradually and tasting at different stages. Regardless, if you have used 1 tablespoon I’m sure it will be fine. It’s not much more.
Jo Zimny says
January 11, 2018 at 8:40 amI made this dish this morning. I just had some and the beans were still a bit crunchy. Not so that they are inedible, but they aren’t creamy like I expected. I did a little research and discovered that adding salt to the mixture was not recommended. Salt apparently inhibits beans from cooking properly, so….next time I will salt them once they are cooked then let the mixture sit, or let my guest salt their beans to their liking. I think either will work. The flavour was fabulous though, really liked the taste!
A Virtual Vegan says
January 11, 2018 at 11:49 amSo glad you liked the flavour and sorry they were a little hard. However, salt making beans tough is a myth. https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/soaking-salting-dried-bean-myths-article . There are so many myths out there about dried beans. It really doesn’t make much of a difference at all whether you salt or don’t salt. If anything it tends to make them very slightly softer because the salt helps break them down. The number one reason beans stay a little crunchy or tough is because they are old or not stored properly. When we buy them we have no idea how old they are or how they have been kept before they reached the shelf. I recommend next time you buy beans to go for a different brand or buy them from a different store. And don’t buy them from bulk bins as you have no idea how long they have been sat there or out the back of the store. No matter how careful you are when buying them though, getting a dodgy bag is inevitable occasionally. Hope that helps!

December 25, 2017 at 2:13 amHappy Baked Beans on Toast Day (25th Dec).
A simple peaceful tradition started a few years ago here in the UK by one of my adult children, as an alternative to the avarice, stress and waste created by mainstream traditions (kept going by films and the media, for retail). Enjoying simple pleasures, for to live a simple life helps others to simply live.
A Virtual Vegan says
December 26, 2017 at 4:37 pmI love that sentiment! I hope you enjoyed your Baked Beans on Toast Day!
Bexy says
December 27, 2017 at 1:49 amWe did enjoy our Baked Beans on Toast Day. It was lovely and peaceful. I’ve been recuperating from a chest infection and the comfort of eating something lovely and simple like baked beans on toast was just the right thing. I’m now planning on going crazy with slices of Brussel sprouts and sliced almonds in a fry up. Happy whatever day you read this. Namaste.
Janice Reid says
September 4, 2017 at 7:42 pmAllergic to mustard what could I use? The recipe looks great.
A Virtual Vegan says
September 5, 2017 at 4:23 pmThank you. Just omit the mustard. It won’t make too much difference!
Rochelle Campbell says
July 5, 2017 at 4:51 pmVery excited to try these. Do you think it would be ok to leave out the molasses? Trying to bring down the carb!
A Virtual Vegan says
July 5, 2017 at 8:46 pmYou could totally leave out the molasses just a long as you are aware that it does add a lovely barbecuey richness. They will still be good without though. ????
Kati says
January 9, 2017 at 11:46 amMade this recipe on the stove top a couple months ago…(1st one I ever tried) they were really good ! Oh and I did freeze the leftovers and they did freeze very well ????So now I’m about to make them in the crockpot today..looks like this is my go to recipe for baked beans lol..ty!
A Virtual Vegan says
January 9, 2017 at 1:01 pmThat’s great Kati. Hope you enjoy the crockpot version too!
Veronica says
July 4, 2019 at 11:51 pmI had to throw these away.
1. The beans did not soften. They were not old – I made sure the best by date had not passed. I soaked them overnight, boiled them for 2 minutes (package instructions) and then simmered for 40 minutes, added other ingredients, covered and cooked on low for 3 hours. They were still hard. The instructions should be that we should ensure the beans are soft before adding the other ingredients.
2. The beans remained white and did not soak in the color or flavor. Mine were not liquidy.
Used organic ingredients so it was such a waste I had to throw away the entire batch. Old beans is not the reason this happened to me too. I used the stove top method and used great northern beans.

September 4, 2016 at 10:24 pmI made these overnight in my crock pot and woke up at 5 am to the most wonderful smell! Of course I had have them immediately! I am your newest fan can’t wait to try everything! THANK YOU!
A Virtual Vegan says
September 4, 2016 at 10:32 pmThat’s wonderful Melissa. I am so glad you liked the recipe. What a way to wake up! I have never cooked them overnight like that so can only imagine how good your house smelt. And I can think of worse things to eat for breakfast than barbecue baked beans ;O) I hope you enjoy my other recipes as much as you have these!
My says
August 4, 2016 at 8:52 amHello! This recipe looks amazing, but I get lost in the beginning. After the beans are soaked overnight and drained, you then say cover in fresh water and cook. After they are cooked for the 40 minutes,do you drain that liquid as well or do you add that to the crockpot with an additional 1 cup of water?
Thank you for clarifying!
M.
A Virtual Vegan says
August 4, 2016 at 1:50 pmYou drain the cooking water and discard before adding the beans with the rest of the ingredients to the crockpot. Sorry it wasn’t clear. I have amended the instructions so hopefully they should be ok now :O) Enjoy your beans!
CakePants says
January 25, 2016 at 7:12 amI love the rich, amber color of these beans! I don’t eat pork so finding baked beans in stores can be difficult at times. I’ll have to try these – they look incredible!

January 13, 2016 at 3:11 pmcan you use cider vinegar from any other fruit?
A Virtual Vegan says
January 22, 2016 at 9:37 pmI am so sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Your comment got marked as spam and I only noticed it tonight when I was going through it all.
You could sub the apple cider vinegar for other cider vinegar if that is all you have.White wine vinegar would probably work too although I haven’t tried it. The vinegar is just there to add a bit of acidity and I like using apple cider vinegar because it tends to be a lot less processed than other vinegars and has a lot of health benefits. Let me know how it works out if you do sub the vinegar :O)
