Tips and Tricks for Instant Pot Baked Beans
- The great thing about this baked beans recipe is that you can make it the oven, slow cooker or instant pot. If you are looking to make this in the oven, you can saute the onions, combine ingredients and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes (covered). If a using a slow cooker is more your speed, I would suggest saute the onions first, then cooking on low for 4 hours.
- If you love spice, we have a treat for you. This subtly sweet recipe can easily turn into a spicy baked beans recipe. All you need is a little chili powder.
- Depending on your tastebuds and your love for spice, I would suggest ½ Tablespoon of chili powder.

Notes
Can I add meat to this recipe?
If you eat meat and you would prefer not to enjoy the best vegan baked beans around, we understand. 🙂 If you are a meat eater, you can certainly add in some bacon. My non-vegetarian friends tell me that they would add two slices of bacon. Prep, the bacon by chopping and sauteing first, then adding to the instant pot mixture.Can I double this recipe?
That is a great question. These naturally gluten free pressure cooker baked beans can be easily doubled. You should not have to change the cook time, if you are using canned beans when doubling this recipe. Pressure cooking makes life in the kitchen so much easier!Nutrition

Love beans! This looks so delicious and comforting!! What a fabulous meal!
Haha I've made baked beans in my Instant Pot before and never even thought about the irony of calling them baked beans! This version looks fabulous- I love the addition of liquid smoke!
I still have not tried my Instapot for beans. I am convinced now! These look so good!
oh I just need to go out an get one of these pots. I love this recipe and everyone here would do we love vegetarian style food this will be a perfect side dish for us
Made these last night but added just a bit of water. We don't like our beans soupy is why. Also, only used pintos as that was all I had. Still, the beans were delicious and I will use this recipe again and again.
Fantastic! Sounds like all the changes you made worked perfectly! So glad you enjoyed!
Well Cindy, you've done it again! I've been a regular follower for a few years now, and your recipes never cease to amaze me! I would never have thought to use my Instant Pot for baked beans!
The ingredients and seasonings here are perfect - if you are reading the reviews before trying the recipe, do not touch a thing!
These came out delicious with the cheapo canned veggie baked beans I wanted to use up because they were flavorless. I will def be doing this again! If I can't make something in the Instant Pot, it isn't getting made. LOL
HAHA! I completely agree with you April.
