This recipe will replace ANY meat dish on your holiday dinner table! Impress your non-vegan and vegan friends alike with this super simple and easy vegan Nut Roast (gluten-free option also included below)!
One of my favourite things to make during the holiday season is a classic vegan nut roast or nut loaf. I’ve made quite a few of these ever since I found out about them when I was living in London from 2014-2016.
A vegan nut roast recipe can be quite intimidating at times because there are multiple steps so I tried to simplify this for you to the best of my ability. I hope I did it justice!
Today, I’ll be sharing a very simple nut loaf or nut roast recipe that I make for Christmas every year!

Can you use regular flour?
I haven’t tried it with regular flour but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work 🙂

A fantastic nut roast! Thank you for the recipe. It’s so easy and quick to make.
If I were to double the amount (to cook for more people), do you have an idea of how long I would need to bake it for?
Thanks, Helga
