BBQ Baked Beans

Before being vegan, I would ask for my dad's baked beans every year on my birthday. They were so good, I would eat the leftovers for every single meal:) I thought I would never eat them again once I became vegan but finally realized that I could just veganize them!! I had my dad try them and he approved and could not believe they were vegan! The ingredients may seem a bit funny but trust me, they are all very important and make this dish next level good!
