Marry Me Butter Beans - Vegan recipe hero image

I remember the first time I made these Marry Me vegan butter Beans for a cozy dinner with friends.

The aroma of garlic and herbs filled my kitchen, and I could hardly wait to dig in.

This recipe means a lot to me because it’s a beautiful reminder of how simple ingredients can create something magical.

Plus, who wouldn’t want to win someone’s heart with a dish this delicious?

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using fresh herbs because they elevate the dish so much, but if you don’t have them, dried works just fine. Nutritional yeast gives a lovely cheesy taste without any coconut cream, and it’s packed with B vitamins, which is a huge bonus!

Tips & Notes

  • I love to serve these vegan butter beans over a bed of quinoa or brown rice for a heartier meal.
  • If you want a bit of a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when you sauté the garlic.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I like to add a splash of coconut milk for extra creaminess.
  • You could also toss in some spinach or kale right at the end for a boost of greens.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend reheating them on the stove with a splash of water or broth to keep them moist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other types of beans?

Absolutely! While vegan butter beans are my favorite for their creaminess, you can use any white beans like cannellini or navy beans.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes! It keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat gently on the stove before serving.
