2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup molasses, 1 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt), 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
3. Add 2 pounds of fresh or frozen butter beans (or fava beans) to the wet ingredients and stir gently to combine.
4. Pour the mixture into a buttered 2-quart casserole dish.
5. Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil.
6. Bake for 30 minutes.
