Subbing homemade beans for canned
 

I'm going to try a whole bunch of recipes for muffins and bars that use beans instead of flour. Almost all call for a 15 ounce can of drained and rinsed beans but I prefer to cook my own. If it was soup or a casserole I'd just estimate but I want these to turn out so my kids eat them.

Anyone have a reliable measure for a 15 ounce can of drained and rinsed beans?

This might help.



You can also measure them after cooking the beans

I would measure 15 fluid oz after cooking. Only enough liquid to just cover beans in the measuring cup. Then drain and measure with a measuring cup and see what you have.

It's 2 cups of cooked beans. Technically 1 3/4 cups :)

For convenience I usually do 1 1/2 cups. 2 is too much.

Thanks! I'll try 1 3/4 cups and see how that goes.

I found this recipe

https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/no...bean-brownies/

Which calls for 1 drained and rinsed 15 oz can of beans, or 1 1/2 cups, or 250g. I love using my kitchen balance instead of measuring cups so I've been using 250g in recipes and it's been great.
