I had never heard of a nut loaf until my Danish husband told me that his plant-based mother made it for Christmas.
I’m sure she has a brilliant recipe which I have yet to ask for, but just to challenge myself, I wanted to see what I could come up with in my own head of what a nut loaf would feel and taste like. The great part is that this recipe is free from gluten.
And if you love fresh mushrooms, Boy, are you in for a treat.
I’ve never tried a meat loaf, which I’m not sure made the process harder or easier! I’m really happy with the final product, and boy is it filling!
Make sure you invite some loved ones over to share this protein-packed loaf of greatness!
