Lorraine sent along her delicious baked beans recipe that she thought you would enjoy eating with your Thanksgiving brunch this weekend!
Her family typically eats these with a green salad and gluten free bread or buns. But, on occasion, they have this bean recipe for breakfast with toast or a bagel for a complete protein and some fruit. This provides a meal that contains many vitamins and minerals and has a good dose of fibre and it is a frugal way of feeding your family!

Thanks! I keep meaning to make my own baked beans, the girls love them, I love that they eat the beans… and I hate cans 😛
1 cup maple syrup or 1/2 tsp of Stevia? What a difference!!!
