This baked vegan stuffing has all of the flavors of the classic Thanksgiving side dish, but no meat or dairy! With a base of sauteed mushrooms and veggies, your stuffing will be colorful, healthy, and full of flavor. Your holiday guests will never notice that this stuffing is vegan, they'll just love the taste!

Made with sauteed onions, celery, carrots, and mushrooms and then tossed with cubes of dried bread and veggies broth, this dish is packed with flavor. Make the quick and easy stovetop version or bake it for a fancier side. Either way, you can't go wrong with this classic-tasting stuffing!

🥄 How to make baked vegan stuffing

Step 1 - Cut bread into cubes totaling 10 cups and spread it on a cookie sheet. Let it sit overnight to dry out or pop it in a 300° F (148° C) oven for about 20 minutes until the bread is dry and crispy. (You want it to just dry out, not brown!)

Step 2 - In a large saucepan, saute a finely diced onion in 1/4 cup of butter (or olive oil) over low heat until the onion becomes translucent. (This will take about 5-7 minutes.)

Step 3 - Add the chopped celery, carrot, and mushroom to the onions and sprinkle with poultry seasoning and salt. Stir well and saute the veggies for about 5 more minutes until they are soft.

Step 4 - Toss in the 10 cups of cubed dry bread and stir well to coat the bread cubes in the veggies and seasoning.

Step 5 - Pour the mixture into an oiled 8 x 8-inch baking dish and drizzle with 2 cups of vegan broth, coating the bread. (At this point you can place the stuffing covered in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking.

Step 6 - Bake the stuffing uncovered at 375° (190° C) for 35 minutes until crispy and slightly brown on the top. (For stuffing with a crispier top, drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top of the stuffing before baking.)

🍲 What to serve with vegan stuffing

Serve your baked stuffing with vegan butter, vegan turkey gravy, or vegan brown gravy. Serve it along with your favorite vegan main dish and vegan mashed potatoes, vegan green bean casserole, cornbread casserole, and cranberry sauce for a holiday meal.

Note: You can also chop up little pieces of vegan turkey, vegan ham, vegan sausage, or additional mushrooms to add a more meaty flavor and texture to your stuffing. You can just add these when you saute the veggies.

Use my vegan stovetop stuffing instead for a quicker alternative. It's also perfect to use inside of a vegan turkey to make a holiday roast!

Use leftover stuffing to make vegan stuffing balls.
