Vegetarian Molasses Baked Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

• Coat the bottom of a Dutch oven or a 9-by-13-inch high-sided baking dish with olive oil. Add onions and top with bean mixture. Add enough boiling water to cover bean mixture by 1 inch. Cover Dutch oven with lid or baking dish with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil. Transfer to oven and bake until beans are softened, about 1 1/2 hours, checking water level and adding more as necessary.
• Uncover beans and continue baking until thick and syrupy, about 45 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• 1. The night before place beans in a colander and rinse under cold water. Place the beans in the crock pot and cover with fresh cold water to cover by 2 inches.Leave to soak overnight for at least 8 hours or up to 12. The next day drain the beans and rinse again. Put the beans in a pot and cover with 5 cups cold water . Heat to boiling and cook until tender approx 30 mins.Drain. In a small bowl mix together the cinnamon, basil and pepper. Set aside. In a heat safe bowl mix together the boiling water, molasses, maple syrup, vinegar, oil, and ketchup. Mix well and set aside. Place half the beans in the crock pot. Sprinkle with half the apricots and onions. Evenly pour half the tomatoes over top. Sprinkle with half the spice mixture. Repeat. Pour water/ molasses mixture over top, making sure that the liquid is mixed in. Cover and cook on low 8 -10 hours or high 4 - 5 hours.

Steps:

• Place beans and 2-1/2 qts. water in a 6-qt. Dutch oven; bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; soak for 1 hour. Drain and rinse beans; return to pan with remaining water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour or until beans are tender. Drain, reserving cooking liquid. Return beans to pan; add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover and bake at 350° for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until beans reach desired consistency, stirring occasionally. Add some of the reserved cooking liquid if too thick.

Steps:

• Soak. Rinse the beans and sort through them, discarding any beans that look "off" or any foreign objects. Place beans in Crock Pot and cover with 3-4 inches of water. You can also add them to a pot or bowl; I just like to use my Crock Pot stoneware because in the end that's one less dish to clean. Cover and let soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. Pour the soaked beans into a colander and rinse well. Rinse out the Crock Pot. Set soaked beans aside; you'll add them back to the Crock Pot in a minute.
• Assemble. Add onion, pepper, broth, molasses, brown sugar, olive oil, dry mustard, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to Crock Pot. Mix until combined. Add back your soaked and drained beans and stir until combined. Add bay leaf.
• Cook. Cook on high for 8-10 hours or on low for 12-14 hours. Note: Slow Cookers can vary, so the first time you make this, you may want check on it periodically and see if you need more broth or water after the first few hours. But don't worry, your beans shouldn't turn to mush! The molasses helps to prevent that.
• Leftover beans keep up to three days refrigerated in an airtight container. They also freeze well.
