If so—you’re not alone. And you’re exactly who I created The PlantWhys Collective for.

You’ll see everything laid out clearly—whether you want to dip your toe in monthly or go all-in for the year.

Cooking black beans from scratch has never been easier than with this slow cooker recipe! With only a few ingredients and a hands-off approach, you’ll have tender, flavorful black beans perfect for any meal. Loaded with cumin, chili flakes, and a hint of lime, these beans are a delicious base for tacos, burritos, soups, or as a hearty side dish.

Ingredients
2 ½ cups dried black beans, unsoaked
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons chili flakes, optional
1 tablespoons cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 large bay leaf, optional
1 teaspoon thyme
3 ½ cups vegetable broth
1 ½ teaspoons salt juice of one lime

Instructions

2. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours.
3. Season salt to taste then squeeze in lime juice and stir well prior to serving.

*FODMAP Swaps: It will reduce the flavor but rinsing the beans will significantly reduce digestive distress for sensitive stomachs, keep portions to under ¼ cup and increase as tolerated; keep onion and garlic to about ½ teaspoon portions and increase as tolerated (including what is found in vegetable broth)
