Making Crunchy Thansksgiving Vegan Classic Stuffing:

Tear up a baguette, and transfer it onto a baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes. This will dry out the bread and make it dry! Don’t worry this is a good thing!

Make a flaxegg by combining flaxmeal with water. Set aside.


Add a veggie stock cube to the hot water. Mix until the stock cube has dissolved.

In a pan, melt the vegan butter. Add in the onions, cook for a few seconds then add in the celery. Cook onions and celery for 10 minutes until slightly golden. Add in the grated garlic. Cook for a few seconds.

Add in all the fresh herbs. I’m talking parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, oh and the salt! Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add in nutritional yeast, black pepper and the flaxegg. Mix together. Add in the baked baguette. Mix until all the bread is covered in the mixture.

Grease a baking dish with vegan butter. Transfer the stuffing into the baking dish. Press into the dish with a spatula. Cover with foil, then bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil, bake for another 40 minutes.

Serve warm!

Tips on making this recipe perfectly

  • allow the bread to become stale overnight or bake it like I did!
  • you’ll need to do is make sure your baking dish is big enough to fit your stuffing evenly but still snug, for this recipe I used my 11×8 inch baking dish.
  • enjoy warm!
