This came about this morning when baked beans were requested for brekkie by one of my daughters and I didn’t feel like the ones I normally make. So I set about creating something a bit different and we ended up finishing the entire batch. Needless to say, we now have a new recipe for baked beans in our house.

You can find an improved version of this recipe, along with a great selection of breakfasts, soups, dinners and desserts – in my cookbook, Feel Good Food Made Easy, which you can find here.
