Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms with Basil Hummus..the perfect healthy holiday party appetizer! Super flavorful, easy, and amazing for a crowd.
Stuffing your face with hummus is one thing and stuffing a shroom with dream pesto is another. Vegan stuffed mushrooms with hummus do exist!
I can say with confidence that I eat a fourth to a third of a tub of hummus a day. Hashtag Hummusapien. And I'm not wishy washy about it, either. I know what I like. I don't want to have to stand there and think about what kind I'm getting. I want to grab my unsweetened vanilla almond milk, brown rice cakes, frozen wild blueberries and hummus and be OUTTA THERE.
Essentials, people. FOCUS.
I've been in a serious relationship with roasted garlic hummus for about two years now. Remember when I used it in my beloved Vegan Lasagna? My go-to hummus vehicle is a brown rice cake or my finger, but I was excited to use it in stuffed shrooms because who doesn't love a good holiday app this time of year?
I'm just the Jewish vegan bringing bright green stuffed mushrooms to the Christmas party...nobigdeal.
What is a big deal is this pan of shrooms. They taste like pesto shroomy dreamland that I want to vacation to when I get some time off work. I sprinkled them with vegan parm made with cashews, which is also sensational on vegan pizza might I add.
When you're up to your ears in crinkle cookies and candy canes, I have a plate of magnificent mushrooms for you. You could even hang one from the ceiling and pretend it's mistletoe.
Too far?
Ya, I didn't think so either. Happy Christmahanakwanzika!

We made these for Thanksgiving and they were a giant hit! I was the only vegan with 10 non-vegans and I had two people ask if there were more once they were gone.

Awww I love this so much, thanks Katherine!!
Mel says
These are amazing!!! I have made them at least 10 times and every time I bring them somewhere people always rave about them. The only change I make is leave out the garlic and add red pepper flakes. I always make extra stuffing and eat it with crackers or bread or whatever else I can dip in it. So good! Thanks for such a simple and quick recipe!
Alexis Joseph says
Thank you so much, Mel! I haven't made these in forever but thanks for the reminder 🙂
Alexis Joseph says

Just went to their site and found where I can pick it up here in Austin. I eat so much at a time too so it would be nice to have a version with not so much fat.

First of all, I love these. They look like something I had recently at a holiday party and was obsessed with. Now I must try your recipe! Second of all, where has Oasis hummus been my whole life? I will be keeping my eyeballs open for it.

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Yes yes!! My lentil hummus stuffed mushrooms are such a family favorite!!! (Which totally surprised me!)
Emilie @ Emilie Eats says
Anything that combines basil and hummus is something I can get on board with. PLUS it's stuffed into things so basically this is like a dream.
