    Easy Baked Beans from the Pantry with Slow Cooker Option

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on August 27, 2021 Dairy-Free Recipes, Sides

    Do you need a naturally dairy-free and plant-based side dish that’s easy to throw together with ingredients from your cupboard? These easy baked beans don’t require any dairy alternatives, and the recipe literally takes 5 minutes to throw together. Just let them simmer while you handle other chores, or set-it-and-forget-it in the slow cooker.

    Easy Baked Beans from the Pantry with Slow Cooker Option

    Unlike your average baked bean recipe, this one has a secret ingredient: apple butter. It’s naturally allergy-friendly, but adds richness and a sweet flavor that melds very well with the other ingredients. The recipe also includes cayenne, which you can adjust up or down, for a little contrasting heat to the taste.

    These easy baked beans are perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues, but can also pair well with a weeknight meal, or add protein and flavor to lunch bowls. They are made with three types of beans for a pretty tricolor effect, or whatever beans you have in your cupboard!

    Using three different types of beans gives a nice tri-color effect and a little range in nutrition. But you can use just one or two types of beans for all of the beans, if preferred.
