BBQ Baked Beans (Sugar-Free)

"From The Allergy Self-Help Cookbook by Marjorie Hurt Jones, c. 2001. Commerically prepared baked beans can be a problem for people with allergies because they often contain sugar and corn syrup, plus ambiguous ingredients such as modified food starch and "natural flavoring." Slowly baking these beans contributes to their wonderful flavor and aroma."

  1. I have not tasted this recipe. I am only commenting because I think it is important to mention that the sweetener used in this recipe is not included in the nutritional analysis. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of either Agave nectar or maple syrup. If you use the Agave, the sugar grams per serving will jump from 6 grams to 16 grams. If you use the maple syrup instead, the sugar grams go from 6 to 23 per serving. Since my husband and I are doing the Belly Fat Cure and can have only 15 grams of sugar per day, even one serving of these "sugar free" beans would not be allowed.
     
  2. I will be using sugarfree pancake syrup and artificial maple flavouring. so NO sugars :-)
