Beans for breakfast? It’s a thing and it’s delicious! This British-inspired meal is plant-based and easy to make, without sacrificing on flavor.

And unlike store-bought baked beans that tend to be heavily sweetened and fairly bland, this homemade version is lightly (and naturally) sweetened yet full of flavor! Just 1 pot and 30 minutes required. Let us show you how it’s done!

Easy

There are several theories on where baked beans originated. But the concept of baked beans on toast seems to be an iconic British staple. And Heinz (yep, the ketchup company) claims the combo was invented by one of its executives in 1927.

British Baked Beans On Toast

British baked beans are traditionally made with navy beans, which are a small white bean. Navy beans are called haricot beans in England and also go by names such as Boston beans and white pea beans.

Baked beans on toast is often served for breakfast as a part of a fry up (the British term for a Cooked English Breakfast). For lunch, they are more commonly served with a jacket potato (the British term for a baked potato). And they’re even served at dinner, too!

This recipe starts with sautéing shallot with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder as the base. Next comes water to make it saucy, vinegar for tang, and tomato paste for rich tomato flavor. Mustard and molasses add depth and maple syrup provides a sweet balance. This combination creates the sauce.

Baked Beans Recipe (with Bacon)

Cooked white beans are added to the sauce and simmered to soak up the flavors. We used white (cannellini) beans because they are readily available and have a mild flavor. But other types of white beans work well here, too.

It’s perfectly satisfying for any meal of the day! For breakfast, try serving with a fried egg (if not vegan), shiitake mushroom “bacon”, vegan sausages, and/or fresh fruit. Or for lunch or dinner, swap out the toast for a baked potato (or sweet potato) and serve with a simple green salad.

ThisBritish baked Beans recipeis such a classic dish and really easy to make from scratch. It's one of those recipes I make all the time for my family.

Baked Beans Recipe

They are the perfect addition to a classic full English Breakfast, great with toasted bread (beans on toast anyone?) or with baked potatoes.

The main difference between American baked beans and British baked beans is that US beans are sweeter and tend to be more barbecue-ey.

American baked beans (also called Boston baked beans) are made with molasses and pork salt (or bacon), and they're slow-cooked in the oven.

However, these are so much better because they’re homemade and haven’t been sitting in a can for who knows how long.

Traditional English Baked Beans

Similar to American-style, but meat-free and without the smokey flavor, just like my mum in England used to serve. Navy (or haricot) or great northern beans are cooked in tomato sauce for an authentic taste of a truly British classic.

Baked beans are probably one of the most common (if not the most) canned items to buy in England. A delicious, saucy side for any dish, from fish and chips, sausage rolls, to beans on toast (picture below).

We’re all familiar with canned/tinned Heinz Baked Beans and if you’re in the U.K., there’s a good chance you lived off them on a budget at one time in your life.

Baked Bean Failures

The perfect budget meal enjoyed by college students and bachelors. Let’s not forget about beans for breakfast too… yes, really! See more below on this subject.

I recently updated the pictures and video and made a few improvements and simplified original recipe. If you see the recipe anywhere else like Pinterest, Yummly etc., I cannot guarantee it will taste as good as the recipe you see on this page.

This is the most common issue that readers have had and it is all to do with the beans. I’ve had some be almost mushy in 30 minutes and some take almost 2 hours. You just have to keep testing them as they boil.

Heinz Baked Beans Recipe

There are no hard-and- fast rules as to why dried beans take longer to cook because it seems every batch of beans are different (see below at my test results on this). A few reasons could be, they are old beans. You can’t be sure how old they are, even if they are within their expiration date. You have hard water. Hard water can toughen the skins. You didn’t soak long enough. 8-12 hours is optimal but no more than 24.

Yes! They cook faster because they absorb a lot of liquid. Take a look at the the difference between a non-soaked and soaked bean below.

Everyone loves good baked beans. They really go with just about anything and good homemade baked beans start with dried beans, not canned. Dried beans just have better texture.

Easy Baked Beans On Toast (british Inspired)

If you used canned for this recipe they would be mush by the end of the recipe. Dried beans are best for baked beans, but I wont be mad at you if you used pre-cooked canned.

Regarding the above information on the cooking of the beans, this week I decided to test out some beans from different sources. Each batch I spilt into two pans, one I added baking soda and salt, the other nothing.

The result is, some cooked really quickly (they were almost mushy in 40 minutes) and some took almost 2 hours to cook. The baking soda and salt did not make a difference. The beans are going to be done when they want.

British Baked Beans Revisited

In addition to eating beans on toast for breakfast, they are also served with the most popular British breakfast, the Full English Breakfast (picture below) consisting of sunny-side up eggs, English back bacon, cooked tomato slices, black pudding (sausage), mushrooms and fried bread.

These British Baked beans are made without meat, with a thinner tomato-based sauce. American-style baked beans are cooked with pork (bacon) molasses and brown sugar and the sauce is much sweeter, thicker and smoky.

You can make this recipe in the slow cooker. After soaking and rinsing the beans, turn your slow cooker on low. Add all the ingredients EXCEPT THE SALT, as this can cause the beans to take longer to cook.Put on the lid and cook for 6 to 8 hours, but start checking them at the 6th hour for tenderness, then stir in the salt.
