Vegan homemade baked beans recipe – the perfect, simple, quick and easy breakfast, side dish or snack. This guy is packed full of protein, is seriously tasty and takes just 5 minutes to prepare! Canned baked beans have nothing on this guy! Seriously, I HATE canned baked beans, but I LOVE this vegan homemade baked beans recipe. I hope that once you try this recipe you’ll never buy canned baked beans again! One of the best parts about this recipe is that it’s sugar-free. I honestly don’t know why so many people add sugar to their homemade baked beans, or why canned baked beans are so high in sugar. It’s so gross!
This recipe contains 18g of protein, 9g per serving. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight – so for a 55kg person that’s 44g of protein per day. If you serve this with my Tofu Scramble recipe that gives you a total of 58g of protein per recipe, 29g per serve!

This recipe doesn’t need much more salt because of the stock cube. If you’re not a salty food fan, only use half a cube.
