These beans are plant-based & better 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 tasty vegetables, spices, and are ready in 30 minutes!

How Do I Make Vegan Beans on Toast?
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the beans into the Dutch oven with the sauce, and bake for 20 minutes uncovered.
- 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!
