For a deeper, smokier flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the spice mix. If you don't have molasses on hand, maple syrup can be used as a substitute, though it will slightly alter the flavor profile. These baked beans are excellent served with cornbread or as a side dish to your favorite BBQ.
