This Vegan Meatloaf is flavorful, decadent, nutty and great for anyone wanting a no bean/lentil loaf. Use nuts of choice. Vegan Recipe. Can be Glutenfree, soyfree Jump to Recipe

Every year a new “meat” loaf ! My Lentil Quinoa Loaf is super popular. Hearty with Lentils Quinoa and Veggies and amazing texture and flavor (no nuts) and my Chickpea Veggie Loaf is a close second and is a bean version. Both are nut-free and are also available in my second book.

So this year I went with loads of nuts in this Bean free Loaf! This Nut Loaf is rich and hearty, uses nuts and seeds, some butternut squash for the binding, mushrooms and herbs for umami. It comes together easily and is bean free and lentil free! You can add in some lentils for a lentil nut “meatloaf”. The simple glaze balances out the flavor so you get rich umami, texture, tangy, sweet, savory all in one bite! Serve it with my easy gravy or some cranberry sauce.

This year hasn’t been fun with legumes(digestion changes with peri menopause). After eating them all my life, hundreds of varieties of them(dals, beans, chickpeas) in Indian food for so long, I am reducing them this year, go figure. So this loaf works out amazingly for me. You don’t have to be bean free to try it. Its a hearty delicious loaf with amazing texture and rich flavor to please everyone. Add some cooked lentils for more volume if you like for a lentil nut loaf. Make it into patties or stuff into puff pastry hand pies! This Loaf mix is very versatile.

Look at that perfect slice! served here with my 1 Pot Gravy with added mushrooms.
