With its maple syrup and ancho powder combo Ancho Maple Black Beans will leave a mark. This recipe a snap to make and produces a sweet complex flavor.
I have a thing for beans. I think it’s cuz one of the only things my dad ever made for dinner when I was growing up, was beanies and weenies. He didn’t make dinner often. And clearly, he wasn’t much of a cook! But he was always kinda excited about the whole thing when he did have to feed us. My mom was the cook in the family!
Anyhoo, like I said, I have a thing for beans. They’re one of my favorite side dishes. Here’s a recipe for Ancho Maple Black Beans that really knocked my sock off!
I absolutely LOVE the flavor combination in this recipe. The sweet maple flavor with the Ancho chili powder is killer. It’s almost like a “Mexican Baked Bean” kinda thing. Overall fairly sweet-just how I like baked beans. I also really like that they’re a snap to make.

Just made these today. Great! I had some maple bacon that I chopped, cooked and threw in, using some of the bacon grease instead of oil for cooking the onions. I also baked them about an hour at 325 instead of just a quick simmer. I’m normally not a big fan of maple flavor, but I will certainly make them again.
