MY OH MY this is the best vegan stuffing.

Fun fact about me: stuffing is one of my favorite foods. Not, like, just at Thanksgiving, but ANY TIME OF THE YEAR.

If I had it my way, we’d nix thedairy free vegan green bean casserole and healthy sweet potato casserole. We might even nix the cheesy goodness that is a keto cauliflower gratin and just have turkey with a VARIETY of different stuffings to MOW DOWN on the side.

A little bit of easy gluten free stuffing, a couple bites of apple raisin easy gluten free stuffing and there would even be room for cauliflower low carb paleo vegan stuffing.

Of course, we’re DEFINITELY adding this vegetarian stuffing recipe to the CARB PARTAY.

Is stuffing vegan?

This is a tricky one because sometimes yes and sometimes no! Some people mix ground meat into their stuffing, which obviously equals a big, fat NO on the vegan scale.

I also never understood this since we already have turkey going on. But, to each their own!

But, as long as you make this vegan stuffing for Thanksgiving with vegan-friendly bread, the rest of the ingredients are basically just all from the earth, so you are good to GO. <–Don’t mind the “poultry seasoning” Not actually poultry. Just yummy savory herbs that pack the savory FLAVOR you crave.

Gluten Free Stuffing Pro-Tips

Let’s be real. Gluten free and vegan bread can sometimes not hold up as well once you add moisture. So, internet friends, this is NOT the time to get your pent-up aggressions from the busy-person-life that you lead OUT.

Let’s be gentle with our stuffing-stirring-shenanigans, shall we? You want to show those fluffy chunks of bread just how much you care about them with grace and poise and LOVE.

Promise they will love you riiiiight back.

But, like, they won’t if you’re rough with them. Then they will just break down under the pressure of the liquid + angry you and your stuffing will be a blob of mushy BADNESS.

No one needs that kind of negativity in their life.

Inhale peace and calm and tranquility, exhale FLUFFY bready bites of BLISS.
