Conscientious Cowboy Beans ~ Healthy Baked Beans

Conscientious Cowboy Beans are almost homemade; yet so much easier! Don’t save these healthy baked beans just for summer barbecues, these should be enjoyed all year long.

This favorite bean recipe is requested by both my family and my husband’s family on holidays and an occasional get together.

If you are wanting to reduce the amount of fat you are consuming, this recipe is perfect plus it’s a delicious way to increase daily fiber intake. Kids will like these baked beans too because there are no onions.

Conscientious Cowboy Beans has one added tablespoon of brown sugar in the entire dish of beans, which is uncommon for a baked bean dish. I would even feel comfortable leaving that one tablespoon of sugar out.

Weight watchers points plus can count 6 points if the entire recipe is divided into 8 servings.
Please note ** These amounts are for the meatless version only.

If you are a Forks Over Knives follower, this is perfect.  But if you are a meat-eater feel free to add some Italian sausage, precooked and fat drained.
