Vegan Stuffing Muffins

Nov 22, 2010 by Tina Ruggiero

6a01053531eb10970c0133f65228db970bWhether you’re going meatless for a day, a month, for the earth or for the animals, there are numerous benefits to enjoying plant-based meals. Having so many clients and friends who are vegetarian (or vegan), I decided to dedicate today’s post to stuffing, a Thanksgiving favorite that’s usually made with chicken broth and thus, off-limits.

This recipe, adapted from Rolling Oats, is vegan and nut-free, which will also appeal to those with tree nut allergies. It’s simple to make, tastes great, and it’s guilt-free for those aspiring to a more compassionate, sustainable and healthy way of eating.

Happy Thanksgiving!

4 ribs Celery, chopped
1 medium Yellow Onion, chopped
3 Delicious Apples, cored and chopped
Salt and Pepper, to taste
2 T Frontier Poultry Seasoning
1/4 cup fresh Italian Parsley, chopped
2-3 cups Imagine Foods No-Chicken Broth

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and 4 T margarine.
  3. Once the margarine has melted, add the bay leaves, vegetables and apples.
  4. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning.
  5. Cook about 7 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Add parsley and stuffing mix and combine.
