Mediterranean Beans on Toast, gluten-free

My Mediterranean Beans on Toast is a flavour bomb that is deliciously healthy, gluten-free, and vegan. The creamy butter beans and sweet cherry tomatoes marry perfectly with the flavours of garlic, oregano, paprika, and fresh basil. It's a full-flavoured recipe that is cooked in only 10 minutes.

Store-bought baked beans can be heavy, sweet, and quite unhealthy in comparison to this homemade Mediterranean version that is light, naturally sweetened, healthy, and fresh tasting. It's perfectly satisfying for any meal of the day including breakfast, lunch, or even dinner!
