Low-Fat Cowboy Beans ~ Healthy Baked Beans
Low-Fat Cowboy Beans are almost homemade yet so much easier! Don’t save these healthy baked beans just for summer barbecues; they should be enjoyed all year long.
This favorite bean recipe is requested by both my family and my husband’s family on holidays and at occasional get-togethers.
If you want to reduce the amount of fat you consume, this recipe is perfect. It’s also a delicious way to increase your daily fiber intake. Kids will like these baked beans, too, because they don’t have onions.
These healthy cowboy beans have one tablespoon of brown sugar added to the entire dish, 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 as 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 precooked, fat-drained Italian sausage, or use this healthy turkey breakfast sausage recipe.
