How to Make Perfect Black Beans in Your Instant Pot (vegan, gluten free, soy free, nut free)

Black beans are one of my favorite foods.  I like them.  A lot.  Like, we have them at least once a week.  I like them in tacos, in soup, heck, I even use black bean aquafaba in brownies.  Black beans are good stuff.  One of the reasons I wanted to get an Instant Pot was to be able to make dried beans from scratch more quickly than I did on the stovetop, so I could break my expensive habit of buying canned beans.  But like I’ve said before, I was slightly terrified of my Instant Pot.  I wouldn’t use it unless Irving was at home for months.  And then I got over my fear and started experimenting.  I have to say, I’m really liking it now that I’m used to it!  Which leads me to this post — How to Make Perfect Black Beans in Your Instant Pot!

How to Make Perfect Black Beans in Your Instant Pot

The key thing to remember with your Instant Pot is that the cooking time isn’t the total time.  These beans cook for 22 minutes, but it takes about 10 minutes for the pot to come up to pressure, and about 10 to release, so all in, these take about 45 minutes.  Did I mention that you start with DRY beans?  Yep.  No soaking required.  You could call these miracle beans if you’d like.  I won’t mind.

When we go out to a Mexican restaurant I usually order “frijoles de la olla”—whole beans.  Some (though not all) refried beans use lard in the cooking process, but whole beans tend to be vegan.  However, if I can make restaurant style food at home I’ll take it—dining out with my two wild ones does not make for a relaxing evening!

When I make my black beans at home I add lots of flavor to make these taste just like those restaurant style black beans I love so much—the regular suspects—onions, garlic, cumin, salt.  And then a few “top secret” ingredients.  The first is bay leaves.  Irving was the one who taught me this trick, and it makes beans so yummy!  I had to laugh when I read this article about Chipotle’s bay leaves—ha!  I promise, they are not yard waste!  The second, my own secret ingredient, is VEGAN worcestershire sauce (yes, I promise, there is such a thing—some grocery store brands are even accidentally vegan!).

Frijoles de la Olla—How to Make Perfect Black Beans in Your Instant Pot

Restaurant style beans in under 45 minutes—no soaking required!
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time22 mins
Total Time32 mins
Course: Instant Pot
Cuisine: vegan
Servings: 4 cups of beans
Author: Sarah De la Cruz

Ingredients

  • 1 pound dry black beans
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 yellow onion sliced in rounds
  • 2 garlic cloves sliced in half
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce be sure to read ingredients and choose a vegan sauce

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in your Instant Pot.
  • Turn the steam release valve to sealing.
  • Put the lid on your Instant Pot.
  • Set your Instant Pot to cook on manual (high pressure) for 22 minutes (will take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure).
  • Allow to natural release for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes has passed, use a dishtowel to cover the steam valve and turn from sealing to venting. Steam will release for a few seconds—be careful because it will be hot!
  • Once the steam has released fully, carefully turn the lid and remove. Give the beans a good stir.
  • Serve!

Notes

*** Cooking time can vary from Instant Pot to Instant Pot, depending on make and model, age, and even climate where you live. The freshness of the dried beans can also have an effect. If after 22 minutes your beans aren't cooked to your liking, turn them back on for up to 10 minutes and do a quick release!

    I’ve already replaced 1 lb. of sausage with 1 lb if mushrooms in my breakfast casserole. Now I need to see if there is a replacement for the 1 lb. of grass fed beef ingredient. I’m thinking of using black beams, but need to have the equivalent volume of 1 lb. of the beef to make the right amount of casserole. From your recipe, it looks like 1 lb (2 cups) of black beans makes 4 cups of cooked beans. 4 cups is twice the volume of food I need for my recipe. So should I cook 1 cup of dried beans to get 2 cups of cooked beans, which would be about the same volume as 1 lb. of grass-fed beef?

      You can definitely reduce this recipe in half, and keep the same cooking time. However, these beans also freeze really well, so you could make the whole batch, use what you need for your breakfast casserole, and freeze the rest for next time—either on their own, in tacos, or another breakfast casserole! Have fun—sounds like a delicious experiment!

    Fabulous recipe! I do think it could cook for closer to 25 minutes than 22 for al dente beans. I’m actually sauteing them a bit until they’re softer, but that doesn’t take away from the essential recipe. I’m so happy to have this mass of yummy beans on hand to enjoy. Thanks so much!

    I doubled the recipe so it needed 32 minutes. I also wanted a mushier/more cooked consistency so I turned on turn “sauté” setting and cooked (stirring periodically) until it was the consistency I wanted. Will definitely do it this way again. Saved so much time! Thanks!

    “Frijoles de la olla” doesn’t mean “whole beans” – it means “beans of the pot!” Very appropriate for the instapot! Ha!

      Yes, it translates directly to “beans from the pot,” and they are served as whole beans in restaurants, as opposed to refried beans. Perfect for the Instant Pot!

        The correct translation is “Beans from the pot”. In this case the “de” is actually translated into “from”. I love cooking beans in the Instant Pot. I add a tiny bit of cayenne powder and sauté the onions in a little oil before adding them to the Instant Pot. The little kick from the cayenne powder makes a huge difference and you can always add as much or as little as you and your family can handle. I sauté the onions because it changes the flavor and it’s the only way my 10 year old will eat the beans if they have onion. I’m Guatemalan and my grandma and mom only added salt, an onion sliced in half, and a full head of garlic to their beans. Beans were always cooked in a pressure cooker and always starting with dry beans. I still can’t wrap my mind around soaking beans, since that’s not what I grew up seeing. I really enjoy the addition of the extra ingredients you listed plus my cayenne powder and sautéed onions. To me the additional ingredients is like everyday homestyle beans versus restaurant style I want some more beans.

        p.s. I have found that since I double the recipe I have to add cooking time or they come out raw. I add an additional 15 minutes.

    I love this recipe, but I thought I should let you know that most worcestershire sauces are NOT vegan. They have anchovies in them 🙂 So if you’re trying to make this recipe vegan, make sure to check the ingredients of your worcestershire sauce first. Thank you for this recipe though!

      Hi Melissa! Actually, many are, and I’ve specified in the post, video, and recipe to be sure to use a vegan one, as this is a vegan blog! In fact, even the Kroger house brand worcestershire sauce is vegan—hooray!!! I also like the Annie’s and Edward & Sons brands! Hope you are able to find one of them in your local grocery store!

      The IP is great, isn’t it? We use black beans for everything—in tacos, as a side dish, as the main ingredient in black bean soup—so many possibilities! To make this recipe with pinto beans you’ll need to increase the time. I think 35 minutes should be good? They are bigger, so they just need a little more time in the pot! If you check them and they still aren’t done just close the lid again and go for a few more minutes at high pressure!

    I made these last night and they are SO delicious! I always put off making beans from scratch because I don’t have a “go-to” recipe, but this will be my black bean recipe from now on!

    As others have mentioned, it took me two additional rounds of cooking to reach my desired texture (plus the onions and garlic were not yet “melted” into the beans after the original 22 minutes) but one of the fantastic things about your recipe is I feel like you empowered me to go back and cook them some more. I never know whether I will ruin things by putting them back under pressure. I ended up doing an additional 5 minutes QR, then an additional 4 minutes plus natural release.

    The dish towel trick was also new to me and I think it’s going to change everything when it comes to pressure release. I had been taught to put on an oven glove and tap the valve multiple times, letting out steam just a little bit at a time (which is probably still a good idea if there’s something foamy that goes way up high in the pot) but it takes so long and is so tedious that I find myself avoiding recipes that call for quick release. So thank you for sharing so much great IP wisdom!

    Well, I just found this recipe AFTER I left the house and soaking my beans, shoot. Would you adjust the time then? And if so, what number and setting (still Manual?). Lastly, I’ve taken to programming it at night and waking up to having it all be done for me (including the pressure release). Like having it start at 5am, waking up at 6 and seeing it all done and the pressure released naturally. Is that advisable? Or do you recommend the 10 min wait and the QPR?

    These turned out really great. I didn’t have any Worcestershire sauce and they’re still really tasty and kid approved! I did 22 minutes on beans that had been sitting in my cupboard for a while….and added 3 min more a few times (2-3 times–I can’t recall exactly as I was distracted with company) and then they were perfect! The liquid was mostly gone by the end though which is fine by me but I’m guessing that could be a problem for them cooking on the bottom.

    Good taste, but I had to cook them for an additional 10 min QR, and then another 10 min QR. I used newly purchased beans, so it’s not like they were sitting in my pantry forever before I decided to use them. If I try this again, I might choose to soak the beans first.

    This recipe looks easy and delicious, I can’t wait to try it! Since the onion and garlic are left in larger pieces, do you remove them before serving? Also, if I leave out the Worcestershire sauce, do I need to add something else?

      The onions and garlic almost melt right into the beans, so I leave them in! If you find any larger pieces at the end you can absolutely pull them out if you want. The worcestershire sauce really gives these beans a distinct (and good) flavor. I can’t think of a sub off hand, just maybe adjust the salt before cooking?

    I also had to put this back in my instant pot. 22 minutes definitely wasn’t long enough for mine. The taste was great though.

      It’s funny—the cooking time seems to vary from pot to pot, or maybe bean to bean? Mine have always been just right for my liking at the 22-25 minute mark, but others have preferred a longer cook time. Feel free to fiddle around with it until they are just right for you! Here’s the Instant Pot guideline where I based my cook time from, in case they’ve got other tips for you! http://instantpot.com/cooking-time/dry-beans-legume-and-lentils/

    These were delicious. I don’t think I’ll buy canned beans again! I did have to cook longer in my instant pot. Next time I’ll do 32 minutes. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

      It really seems to vary, darn beans! But they are so worth the trial and error to find the right timing because they are yummy!

    Now I want an instant pot even more. They are just made for cooking beans and I cook and eat a lot of them. They look so tasty and so quick!

    I rarely use my Instant Pot to make beans, because I can never remember the bean to water ratio or how to cook them. Thanks for this!

    I can’t believe you don’t have to soak the beans first! I usually forget, so this is HUGE for me. I’m going to make a batch this week!
