Vegan Stuffing Muffins with Cauliflower Mash
One of my all-time favorite holiday dishes and one that has been shared around the internet the most (remember when it was in the NYtimes last year?!) is my Stuffing Muffin recipe.
This year I’m excited to share a new variation, Vegan Stuffing Muffings with Cauliflower Mash. I swapped out the traditional mashed potatoes for mashed cauliflower- which if you haven’t tried it you’ll be surprised by how delicious it is!
The cauliflower mash makes for a slightly lighter dish…but really, does that even matter on T-day?? I’m all about this variation for the creamy dreamy cauliflower texture!
Ok, let’s make some stuffing muffins!
