Easy Baked Beans

Summer is the season of cookouts, family reunions, and outdoor potlucks. With warm weather pulling people outside and firing up the grill, customary dishes like sticky ribs, hamburgers, and corn on the cob make their seasonal appearance. But your next barbecue isn't complete without these easy baked beans!

This cookout necessity is a simple, healthy side and guaranteed crowd-pleaser at any gathering. This recipe for Easy Baked Beans has reimagined the classic dish, bumping it up with bolder flavors and a boatload of nutrients. White beans team up with clean eating ingredients like bell peppers, yellow mustard, balsamic vinegar, and homemade ketchup, which merge to form a mouthwateringly tangy mixture.

Coconut sugar and molasses add a touch of sweetness without overwhelming the dish with sugary flavor. The simple dish delivers a hearty dose of filling fiber and protein to keep you feeling satisfied after your meal. These scrumptious baked beans pair beautifully with grilled meat, potato salad, and marinated tomatoes!
