Vegan Beans on Toast Recipe (High Protein)

This vegan Beans on Toast recipe is a beloved high-protein brunch staple. Rich and flavorful tomato beans, piled on a crusty toasted slice of bread!

These beans are plant-based & healthier than the canned variety, and are made with vegetables, white beans, and simple spices.  An international favorite anyone can recreate.

I’ve loved English baked beans for years – they’ve been a favorite to enjoy for breakfast or brunch loaded onto freshly toasted bread! I first remember having traditional English Heinz beans when I lived in California, and absolutely loved them.

English beans are much less sweet than American BBQ beans (which are loaded with corn syrup and sodium) and are the perfect addition to breakfast. This vegan beans on toast recipe is an unbelievable simple breakfast to make at home, and is loaded with healthy vegetables, spices, and are ready in 30 minutes!

• Bread of Choice: you can use gluten free bread, or any homemade variety you would normally enjoy. If you eat gluten free, make sure to read the label on your bread to certify that it is gluten free.
• Low Sodium White Beans: you can use these low sodium canned beans or make them yourself from dried beans. I usually always cook my beans from scratch as they have lower sodium and is really easy to do in the Instant Pot. If you do use canned beans, I would highly recommend using low or no sodium canned beans like these, which won’t alter the taste of this recipe.
• Garlic
• Olive Oil
• Onion
• Carrots
• No Salt Added Diced Tomatoes:  I only use no salt added diced tomatoes, these boxed tomatoes are really great to stock up on!  I like boxed tomatoes better because they are BPA free and more eco-friendly than aluminum cans. If you haven’t read about the dangers of consuming foods stored in BPA cans, head over to Nutrition Facts to read more.
• Ketchup: make sure you use a vegan/gluten free version, always check the labels if you have a dietary need!
• Agave Syrup:  I really like using this raw organic agave syrup because it’s a natural and sustainable sweetener, plus it is ridiculously  inexpensive online so I always keep a few of these bottles in my pantry.
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Reduced Sodium Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I love this low sodium vegetable base for my recipes because it has a great flavor and is lower in sodium. I only develop my recipes with low sodium ingredients so the ingredients shine.

How Do I Make Vegan Beans on Toast?

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the olive oil, carrots, garlic, and onion. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until the veggies begin to soften. Add the tomatoes, ketchup, agave syrup, apple cider vinegar, salt, and vegetable stock.  Bring to a coil, then reduce heat to a low simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. With an immersion blender puree the vegetable and tomato mixture until it becomes a thick and creamy sauce. If you don’t have an immersion blender, use a regular blender and puree in small batches.
3. Add the beans into the Dutch oven with the sauce, and bake for 20 minutes uncovered.
4. Toast your bread, and load the beans on!  Enjoy!

I chose to eat my beans on toast open-faced, but you can always make it a beans on toast sandwich as well!
