    This vegan from scratch stuffing is a family favorite recipe we have always loved for Thanksgiving Dinner, you won’t miss the chicken broth at all! If you love mushrooms, artichokes and vegan parmesan cheese try our Vegan Stuffing recipe!

    SIMPLE STUFFING INGREDIENTS

    • Old Bread – we use 1-day old bread.
    • Vegan Butter – The top two of the vegan butter brands we have tested are Soy-Free Earth Balance Spread and Miyoko’s Kitchen.
    • Onion
    • Celery
    • Poultry Seasoning
    • Pepper
    • Imagine Organic Vegetarian No-Chicken Broth. It is so close to the chicken broth flavor, but you can also use homemade vegetable broth or store bought vegetable broth.

    HOW TO MAKE VEGAN STUFFING

    stacked and sliced day old bread on cutting board
    1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.
    2. Slice day-old bread into bite-size cubes and place onto a baking sheet. Bake the bread for about 15-20 minutes, until it’s crunchy and can be crumbled between your fingers.
    3. In a large skillet add the butter on medium heat and allow it to melt.
    4. Add in the onions, celery, and seasonings. Stir occasionally and cook until the vegetables are tender.
    5. Once the bread is done pour it into a large bowl. Pour the vegetable mixture and broth over the bread. Mix until combined.
    6. Dump the stuffing mix into a large baking dish.
    7. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F covered and 10 minutes uncovered.
    8. Serve and enjoy.

    RECIPE NOTES:

    • If you don’t want the hassle of chopping and baking the bread you can find already bread cubed at more supermarkets, be sure to get one without seasonings and flavorings.
    • Add in your favorite vegetables to add even more texture.
    • Try using cornbread instead for a sweet twist.

    STORAGE AND REHEATING TIPS

    • Refrigerate: Store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-4 days.
    • Reheat: To reheat place desired amount on a plate and microwave until your desired temperature. You can also place in an oven safe dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes.
    • Freeze: Place the stuffing into a freezer safe air tight container and freeze anywhere from 1 to 3 months.

    Notes

    • Add in your favorite veggies, love Brussels sprouts or asparagus? go ahead and add it in. The same goes for not liking an ingredient, for example not a fan of mushrooms? You can leave them out and swap for your favorite mild-flavored vegetable.
    • Not a fan of parmesan cheese? Leave it out. This recipe is just as delicious without it as it is with it.
    • If you don’t want the hassle of chopping and baking the bread you can find already bread cubed at more supermarkets, be sure to get one without seasonings and flavorings.
