I grew up being accustomed to the British style baked beans like Heinz Beans. The first time I came to Canada and tried a few Canadian brands, it was not what I expected at all. They were so sweet! Almost like something intended for dessert. I don’t think I’d ever get used to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Heinz Beans isn\u2019t always available over here, I now make my own baked beans much more often. And to be honest, I should have done this a long time ago. Homemade baked beans are so much nicer, fresh-tasting and you can tweak it to however you like. Even the Heinz Beans have a little more sugar than what I would have preferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, these homemade vegan baked beans, cooked in a pressure cooker (Instant Pot<\/a> or other like the Cosori<\/a>), are neither the British style nor the Northern American ones. They are just how I love preparing baked beans with a little spicy spin on the flavours. This is a very versatile recipe, spices can be tweaked to your liking and you can easily double it to feed a crowd, except astronauts!<\/strong><\/em> You know the joke about beans and astronauts, right? In fact, it’s a fake commercial<\/a> that makes my day every time I watch it!

What beans to use for baked beans?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The typical beans that are available in the canned version are either navy or white kidney beans. I love both and this time I\u2019ve used white kidney beans. Navy beans, which are smaller, take less time to cook and they are a little creamier. <\/p>\n\n\n

Great Northern beans or cannellini beans are also good choices. Great Northern beans may take about 3 – 5 minutes more to cook since they are a little larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have made this recipe using pinto\/borlotti beans as well and it\u2019s pretty delicious too. Like I\u2019ve said, this recipe is very versatile; you can swap the beans for other types but just make sure to adjust the time accordingly depending on what beans you are using.

How to cook dried beans<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I always soak dried beans before cooking them, even when I cook them in the pressure cooker. Some prefer to skip the soaking but I always find the texture better and the cooking time is considerably reduced when the beans are soaked first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I had the pressure cooker, I used to cook the beans on the stovetop for over 45 minutes and I would skip baking them afterwards. I found them to be pretty tasty as is and didn\u2019t think they needed any further time in the oven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, I find it way easier to just make them in my Cosori pressure cooker<\/a> (not sponsored, just the one that I use). If you have an Instant Pot<\/a> or stovetop pressure cooker like this one<\/a> that my mum uses, the same method will work. You may need to make some adjustments with the time setting depending on the beans and the pressure cooker itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
