Baked Beans would have to be one of my favourite childhood foods and it is so easy to make preservative free, low sugar Thermomix Baked Beans at home.
The best thing is, these taste so much better too! If you are sensitive to chorizo, I have included my homemade chorizo meatball recipe which takes these beans to the next level.
This Thermomix Baked Beans recipe has been a popular recipe on the Skinnymixers website for a number of years now. I updated the recipe in The Healthy Mix IV to have the option of making your own chorizo meatballs.
We also have Low Carb, Super Skinny, Vegetarian and Low Fodmap variations plus instructions on how to halve the recipe.

Notes
Bellini Users
Use your blunt blade for this recipe.
At step 1 extend chopping time if required.
At step 3 use ST temp if using an Intelli and 120 degrees if using a Supercook.
Low Carb Variation
Add 200g or 7.1 oz of small cauliflower florets or mushrooms / zucchini instead of the beans and cook for 5 mins.
Remove the Worcestershire sauce & maple syrup if you need to be LCHF compliant. You can use a little Tamari, preferred sweetener and chilli flakes or liquid smoke.
