Vegan Stuffing with Mushrooms – traditional bread stuffing with mushrooms, celery, and lots of herbs. Soft, moist, and fluffy. A definite must for your Thanksgiving table.

Thanksgiving dinner is one of those epic meals that I look forward to all year. My plate looks a bit different these days then it did while I was growing up, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to enjoy it just the same.

Stuffing has been a family favorite ever since I can remember and the “recipe” in the past has been mostly made by look and feel. Since I decided to make a veganized version of my family’s stuffing recipe, I took the time to write down the measurements so I could share it with all of you as well. I hope you love this Vegan Stuffing recipe!

Simple Ingredients

You don’t need a lot of fancy ingredients to make a delicious stuffing. My grandma uses lot of celery and my mom uses lots of mushrooms. Since I love both, I’m using both! Pair that with a good loaf of bread, lots of herbs, and some vegetable stock and you’ve got stuffing fit for a holiday table.

Personally, I think the mushrooms are key – they bring such a great depth of flavor. If you love mushrooms as much as I do, be sure to try my Vegan Mushroom Pepper Steak and my Lentil Mushroom Bolognese.

A Good Loaf of Bread

The bread – I use wheat. My mom uses half white and half wheat. You could even use all white if you want.

It’s a holiday so just use what you like, but here’s my one word of caution – don’t go TOO healthy. I’m going to be honest – I tried using a sprouted grain bread – it wasn’t good. It got crumbly and fell apart. Again, it’s a holiday so just give in and use the regular bread.

That being said, I do recommend using a bread with real ingredients. The ingredient list of the loaf I use looks like this: wheat flour, rye flour, seeds & grains, fresh yeast, water, and salt. (If you live in the Chicagoland area – it’s from Val’s Bakery in Skokie, IL, but is sold in many stores in the area. You can see it in sliced form with my Curried Tofu Salad.)

Stuffing or Dressing?

Technically, this is dressing since we’re baking it in a casserole dish instead of stuffing it inside of something else. In my family, we’ve always called it stuffing even though it’s baked in a dish, so that’s what we’re going with today.

You can call it whatever you want, but you’re gonna love it. It’s soft, fluffy, and moist. Just like I remember from my childhood.
