Vegan Cornbread Stuffing

1 Review

Whether you call it stuffing or dressing, now this classic side dish is available to everyone. We love the deep flavor of cornbread in this entirely plant-based recipe. Our secret to getting that traditional flavor without chicken broth or turkey stock is adding in poultry seasoning—despite the name, there is no poultry in it!

Ingredients

Vegan Cornbread

5 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
1 ¼ cups whole-grain cornmeal
¾ cups white whole-wheat flour
2 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsweetened plain soymilk
3 tablespoons avocado oil or canola oil

Stuffing

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ cups chopped onion
1 ½ cups chopped celery
1 ½ teaspoons poultry seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
5 cups crumbled day-old Vegan Cornbread
1 cup "no-chicken" broth or low-sodium vegetable broth

Directions

To prepare cornbread: Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray.
Combine water and flaxseed meal in a small bowl. Let stand until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk soymilk, oil and the reserved flaxseed mixture in another medium bowl; add to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Transfer batter to the baking dish, spreading evenly. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside, loosely covered, for 1 day.
To prepare stuffing: Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook, stirring, until soft and starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add poultry seasoning, salt and pepper; stir to coat. Stir in cornbread and then broth. Transfer to the prepared dish.
Bake, covered, for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake until crispy on top, 20 to 25 minutes more.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
