Delicious!

I love having interesting beans on toast for breakfast – it really keeps me full – so I was keen to try a sweet version.

After reading the comments I just used one tablespoon of oat milk and it came out a really good consistency.

Topped with figs, pears and some mixed seeds for a perfect autumn/fall breakfast – tasty and just a tiny bit sweet.

I liked it! Be sure to rinse the beans very well in a colander. I used an immersion blender & I liked the “no cook” assembly.

Bean: canned cannellini
Milk: oat (brand: Pacific in the shelf stable section)
Fruit: blueberries

I like the concept – but it was not palatable to myself or my children when made exactly as written. I remedied the spread by adding more maple syrup, more cinnamon, more vanilla, some coconut sugar, a big spoon of peanut butter and some ground flaxseed to thicken it up. I feel like it was good after the additions, but with so much extra sugar it was not any healthier than a simple PB&J. If you have a high-powered blender, I would omit the plant milk because it was a bit runny.

I love many recipes on this site but this was a big failure. Honestly one of the worst things I have ever tasted. And to be clear I love a good bean-based dessert or sweet dish, but wow was this gross.

I haven’t tried this but it looks promising…I’ll post once I make it!

very creative use of white beans. I usually sub sliced banana for the kiwi–not as pretty but just as good
