Best Vegan Stuffing Recipe — No One Will Notice the Difference

Stuffing is essential to complete a holiday dinner, this vegan stuffing recipe is so simple, and you’ll easily find all the ingredients in the store.

The holidays wouldn’t be complete without a serving of stuffing on your dinner plate, and vegans don’t need to miss out on this comfort food. Regular stuffing is usually made from eggs and chicken stock, this recipe substitutes the chicken stock for vegetable stock and omits the eggs. You’ll love the familiar earthy taste of the herbs and the crispy texture provided by the bread.

We recommend that you bake the bread cubes to make them nice and crispy, but you could also leave them to dry out overnight instead. This recipe uses fresh herbs, which pack a punch, but dried herbs would also work.

To reduce your carbon footprint, try to make sure the vegetables in this recipe are locally sourced and organic where possible, bonus points if your ingredients are fair trade too. Now let’s get to cooking with this vegan stuffing recipe.
