Maple Baked Beans

These homemade maple baked beans offer a sophisticated, savoury depth that simply cannot be found in a tin. By using dried navy beans and a slow-cooking method, the legumes absorb the rich flavours of maple syrup, molasses and spicy mustard, resulting in a tender texture and a complex, caramelised sauce. The addition of smoky bacon provides a salty contrast to the sweetness, creating a comforting dish that fills the kitchen with a wonderful aroma.

As a high-protein vegetarian-adaptable meal, this recipe is perfect for a hearty weekend brunch served on thick slices of buttered sourdough, or as a substantial side dish for a traditional roast. Because they are slow-baked at a low temperature, these beans develop a thick, glossy glaze that makes them feel truly indulgent while remaining a nutritious, fibre-rich choice for the whole family.

Ingredients for Maple Baked Beans

  • 450g dried navy or great northern beans

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard

  • 2 tablespoons molasses

  • 60ml ketchup

  • 120ml pure maple syrup

  • 2 thick strips bacon

How to make Maple Baked Beans

  1. In a large pan, cover the beans with water. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about 1 hour.

  2. Preheat oven to 149°C.

  3. In a bowl, combine everything else except the bacon. Stir in the beans.

  4. Place 1 bacon strip at the bottom of a large ovenproof dish or Dutch oven. Pour the bean mixture over it, then push the other strip in.

  5. Add just enough boiling water to the pot to cover everything.

  6. Cover the pot with aluminum foil, then a lid. Bake for 5 hours, checking hourly to make sure the beans aren't drying out. (Add more water as necessary to keep them submerged.) 7 Uncover for the last half hour to brown the top, if desired.
