Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cans navy beans (15.5 ounces) drained and rinsed

Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Baking Sheet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. This ensures the beans cook evenly, and you’ll be greeted with delicious aromas in no time!
  2. In an oven-safe dish, whisk together 1/2 cup unsulfured molasses, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 4 tablespoons ketchup, 3 tablespoons yellow mustard, 3/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt until smooth. The mixture should be well-blended, creating a sweet and tangy sauce.
  3. Stir in the drained and rinsed 2 cans navy beans until they're evenly coated with the sauce. Make sure every bean is enveloped in that delicious mixture for maximum flavor.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. During this time, stir the mixture halfway through to help the sauce thicken and the flavors meld together beautifully.
  5. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to settle, enhancing the overall taste. Adjust salt if needed to suit your preference.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently before serving.
