These Vegan Skillet BBQ Bake Beans are incredibly delicious and SO much better than the canned version! These are healthy, homemade, oil-free and refined sugar-free. They are smoky, sweet and perfectly balanced in flavor!

You know when a recipe is so good you are all fighting over the last bite. That is how these Vegan Skillet Barbecue Baked Beans are. Even my 4 year old was shouting “yummy!” from the rooftops. It’s no secret that my favorite flavor ever is BBQ. I think it tastes good with practically anything, but there is something so amazing and classic about barbecue baked beans. I grew up eating these, but they of course were usually made with bacon. Well, these are not only vegan and plant-based, but they are totally oil-free and super low-fat.

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN SKILLET BBQ BAKED BEANS

Guess what, you don’t need bacon. Using 2 very key ingredients that make these beans to-die-for, is vegan worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke. Without these 2, you will not reach this rich, deep flavor. Liquid smoke gives that same amazing, rich, smoky flavor. Not only that, but I found THE most amazing liquid smoke, called Lazy Kettle, I have ever tasted. It is soooo flavorful, so authentic and honestly smells and tastes just like a wood chip from a barbecue pit from the days my Dad barbecued growing up. It was just a lucky find at Homegoods store of all places.

No need for soaking these vegan barbecue baked beans. There’s no need for all of that extra time. These beans are so easy and quick and ready in about an hour and yet, they taste like they have been simmering for hours. SO GOOD. Your house will smell straight up like a BBQ restaurant, no exaggeration.
