Instructions How to Make Vegan Mushroom Stuffing

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel apart bread slices into small bread cubes. We didn’t use the end slices. Place bread chunks on 2 separate shallow baking pans. Bake for 3 minutes, then swap baking pans (move lower to top, and top to lower), and then bake for 3 more minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. In a large pan or skillet heat 1/2 cup butter on medium heat. Add 16 oz. sliced mushrooms, 4 chopped celery stalks, and 2 cups chopped carrots. Cook for about 10 minutes stirring often. Then add spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until it’s wilted. Set aside.
  3. In a medium-large bowl add 1 & 1/4 cups vegetable broth, replacements for 2 eggs, 1 tsp ground sage, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp dried marjoram. Stir well.
  4. Put bread chunks in large baking dish, and top with broth mixture and vegetables. Season with salt & pepper if you desire. Stir well with a wooden spoon. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Every 15-20 minutes you can take the stuffing out of the oven and give it a stir.
  5. Serve with vegan gravy and all your Thanksgiving sides!  Delish!
