Easy Vegetarian Baked Beans

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Drain and rinse bean, then set aside.

Step 2

In a baking dish or oven-safe Dutch oven, combine the molasses, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, onion powder, baking soda, and salt (as needed); whisk together until combined, then stir in the beans. This is an easy one-pan way, but you can also do this in a separate bowl and transfer to a baking dish, depending on what you're using.

Step 3

Taste test the mixture for salt levels, just note that the flavors will mellow out as they bake and as the beans absorb the flavor.

Step 4

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until thicker and bubbly, stirring halfway through cooking time as desired. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute as the beans thicken as they cool.
