Although I am in Florida and it’s still warm, I am still loving the fall vibes.
I wanted to create a healthy plant-based chili for you guys that will keep you warm and cozy throughout these cooler months.
You will be obsessed with this three bean 20-minute chili.
This recipe is 100% plant-based, WFPB, oil-free, soy-free, gluten-free and BEYOND easy-to-make. I am sure most of you would be in agreement with me that easy, efficient recipes are the best. I kid you not, this three bean 20-minute chili makes multiple servings and is fool-proof. 1-pot, 20-minutes, what more could you ask for?!
What makes this chili healthy?
Beans are filled with protein, fiber, iron, magnesium, folate and a ton of vitamins. Instead of your traditional meat chili, try switching it up with a bean chili!
Celebrate #meatlessmonday with bean chili, make it for a potluck, make a double batch to meal prep for the week, or for a cozy date night with your partner.
Don’t even get me started on how delicious this three bean 20-minute chili is with the cashew sour cream on top.
I mean, COME ON!
The savory, hearty chili pairs perfectly with the creaminess of the sour cream, the fresh herb flavor of the cilantro and crunch of the red onion.
You will LOVE this chili, it’s:
Savory
Hearty
Filling
Flavorful
Cozy
Comforting
& Healthy

YUM! Chili is my favorite!!! I’ll have to make this soon!!
Really cannot go wrong 😍 delish!
Healthy and delicious!!
This. Was. PERFECT!
I’ve made a bean chill before but I didn’t feel like soaking the beans and all that jazz, but this was much more time sufficient if in need of a quickie meal. And just as delicious. If my kids love it, I know it’s a winner. Ty!
1st recipe from your blog and it will not be the last. This recipe was absolutely B E A U T I F U L. It was also my 1st chili bean. It is so tasty and with the cashew cream omg was perfect. Thanks!!
WOW! I love hearing this kind of feedback. It makes my day. So happy you enjoyed it.
Quick, easy and delicious! I added nutritional yeast for added thickness and nutrients. Hit the spot!
How many servings does this make?
Depends how hungry you are. It makes about 6!
I’ve made this chili several times. My husband gave it 4 out of 4 stars! Can you please provide nutrition information or calories? Thanks.
Fantastic, tasty, quick and easy!
So good I’m making it again!
Delish! Had to sub a few items and tweaked it a bit. Used Diced tomato with spicy red pepper and subbed in pasta sauce which is just tomato sauce with a few spices and cornstarch. Added celery, red pepper and mushrooms. I used White Kidney, Pinto and Black beans. Topped with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast. Made some boiled (al dente) yellow potato to add to my bowl. Next time I might try adding some lentils… Yum Yum Yum.
