Ingredients
For the Beans
1 pound dried navy beans or pinto beans, see notes
6 cups cold water
For the Baked Beans
4 ounces bacon, chopped optional
1 onion minced
3/4 cup apple juice
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried mustard
1/4 cup molasses
2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Place navy beans in the pressure cooker with the 6 cups of water. Close the lid on Instant Pot and cook for 25 minutes on high pressure.
Let pressure release naturally for 20 minutes, then do a release of any remaining pressure. Remove beans from Instant Pot and drain off any excess liquid in a colander.
Turn Instant Pot to Saute and let heat up until pressure cooker reads, HOT.
Add in chopped bacon if using, if not using bacon add in 1/2 tablespoon canola oil. Add in the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bacon begins to brown and the onion begins to soften. Turn the Instant Pot OFF.
Add in apple juice and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of Inner Pot. Add in tomato sauce, seasonings, vinegar, molasses, and maple syrup and stir well. Stir in cooked beans.
NOTE: If using an 8 quart Instant Pot you need to use 1 full cup of apple juice plus 1/4 cup water.
Place lid on the pressure cooker and be sure the vent knob is sealed. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for at least 15 minutes.
OPTIONAL: If you would like your baked beans to have a thicker sauce, you can saute beans after they have cooked. Simply turn on Saute and stir well for 10-15 minutes or until sauce reaches your desired thickness.
Notes
This recipe has been developed for the 6 quart Instant Pot, if you have an 8 quart instant pot, you will need to either DOUBLE this recipe or use 1 full cup of apple juice plus 1/4 cup water to prevent a burn warning.
While not traditional, feel free to use pinto beans or small red beans in place of the navy beans. The cook time will remain the same.
If your family is opposed to chopped onions, omit the onions and add in 2 teaspoons dried onion powder.
If you use water in place of the apple juice, you will need to double or triple your maple syrup or sweetener of choice and add in more salt for flavor.
If you do not use bacon, you may need to increase your salt for more flavor.
It is really important to let your instant pot release pressure naturally when cooking beans.
For a sweeter, darker result add in an additional 1/4-1/3 cup brown sugar. For my classic baked beans recipe, I add in the brown sugar for a more decadent side dish!
I had a taste for baked beans and wanted to learn to make them from scratch. So I made these today. They are delicious! No need to go back to canned. Only issue I ran into was that I kept having to restart because I was was getting BURN error. I added water (from the cooked beans) and scrap the bottom. Next time I’ll use more liquid at the start. Also, I did not add the extra brown sugar. I agree it is not needed at all. These have a great flavor!
I made these Instant Pot baked beans for supper tonight. They were tasty, not too sweet, and not over-salted. The quantity equalled four cans of store-bought beans and the contents were much healthier.
Thanks for sharing! I am thrilled to hear you enjoyed the baked beans!
Delicious! Thank you very much for the recipe ❤
My pleasure 😊
I LOVE that you didn't use sugar, making this today
Hope you enjoy
What do you think molasses & maple syrup is? 🤔
Loved this recipe. So much better than canned beans. Cheers.
Thanks for sharing!
Just made it, it cooking in the instapot. Cant wait to try it.
Thank you so much.
Hope you enjoy
Thank you for sharing. I will try this today.
Enjoy!
If you double the recipe is the cooking time longer or does it stay the same? 20 minutes?
The cooking time will remain the same :)
I didn’t have apple juice so I substituted with unsweetened applesauce and it worked great. Good recipe overall.
Good to know! Thanks so much!
That’s exactly what I am going to do!
Hello to you.....thank so much for your reply......very nice....tasty...yummy.....and delicious baked beans........I will keep busy looking for other of your recipes......very easy your explanations...easy to follow.....thanks again....rebeca.....Canada
Thanks Rebeca!
Can you make this in a stovetop pressure cooker?
I honestly haven't tried. Stovetop pressure cookers cook at a higher PSI (higher pressure) so the timing is less, but without experimentation, I am unsure how to tell you to proceed. You can make my oven baked beans from scratch: amindfullmom.com/old-fashioned-baked-beans/
Hello to you....preparing this recipe .....question....how many servings is this recipe....please reply.......stay safe...take care...Rebeca ....Canada
Hi Rebecca! This makes about 12 servings. And yes, you can freeze for up to 3 months :)
Can you make 1.5 lbs. of beans? Or is that too much for the 6 qt. Instant Pot?
That will work! I wouldn't do much more than that though.
@@AMindFullMom Thanks!
Can I use plain mustard instead of dried mustard?
Yes, but the flavor is not quite as pungent.
@@AMindFullMom I don't have dry mustard.
@@mariaconsuelothomen Then use 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard. It won't be the same, but it will help to add flavor.
@@AMindFullMom Thanks
Also forgot.....can be freeze?...
