Stuffing is an integral part of a Thanksgiving or holiday table, next to your favourite plant-based protein, some mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes, salad, and a fresh and tart cranberry sauce. With these gluten-free stuffed pumpkins, we cooked up a great stuffing side dish using our delicious Seeds & Grains loaf. The result is moist, warm, familiar, and lightly herby. Stash this gluten-free stuffing in cute mini pumpkins like we did and watch your guests gush.
