Yeah, I know. I’m not really in sync “with” the seasons right now, but we are almost there 💁‍♀  .  Yes, this is a fantastic summer recipe and I cannot wait for the weather to get better. Thankfully, we aren’t picky about when or with what we eat our baked beans in this house. So as the warmer weather started rolling in, I wanted to perfect these baked beans by this upcoming summer. You know, when it was actually hot 🌞 and the season for camping/cookouts/block parties and guess what this year I will be taking my third baby ( INSTANT- POT) to the parties. No there is no R4 :P.

Try making this Instant Pot Baked Beans and you will never go back to canned baked beans!

Opening a 🥫can of baked beans and serving hot on toast is the ultimate, tasty, fast food, and there is barely a home that does not keep a can in their pantry. However, making your own baked beans adds another dimension to the taste. Making it in the Instant pot takes it to a whole new level of simplicity. Not only are they delicious, but you can also control what goes in the recipe. Avoid the added sugar, sodium and preservatives found in the canned variety. Once you try these, you’ll never want to buy the canned baked beans again. 

Baked Beans for breakfast, after-school snack, lunch or dinner?

Baked beans are an American food icon dating back to Colonial times, but I have fond memories of my mom serving these delicious beans on toast with a glass of milk to me and my brother. The food kept us going until dinner time, but of course, they were canned. These are the tastiest baked beans that you would ever have tried and are such a snap to make!  Perfect weekend Brunch serves with some toast and ideally eggs and the other breakfast goodies, this is the perfect breakfast to enjoy. Oh, and you can eat them whenever you want them to. Breakfast, after-school snack, lunch, dinner or whenever you feel like. You cannot beat the taste of freshly prepared homemade baked beans! 

This Instant Pot Baked Beans Recipe is Super Easy to Make!

Do I have to soak the beans to get delicious Baked Beans?

Soaked or not, the Instant Pot definitely does a great job cooking the perfect beans. Although soaking is not mandatory, it is highly recommended as it aids digestion. Soaking beans removes indigestible complex sugars that cause gas. It’s best to soak beans overnight, but sometimes if we forget, we will soak them even for a few hours in the morning before cooking them or soak the beans in the Instant Pot itself for around 30 minutes.

Why is using a pressure cooker/Instant pot better than making baked beans on the stovetop?

It is way faster if you’re starting with dry beans for last minute preparation or if you forgot to soak them the night before.  No soaking overnight needed. You can get the recipe completed in around an hour, the beans go from dry to perfectly soft within 60 minutes. Instant pot simplifies the traditional recipe to a dump and prepares the recipe that is not time-consuming and does not need to babysit.
