Vegan Deviled Mushrooms (Stuffed Cremini Mushrooms)

I was caring the idea in my head to make these vegan deviled mushrooms for quite a long time. I’m so lucky that they turned out the same as I imagined at the first attempt!

The idea was to make an egg-like filling using chickpeas for protein and avocado for creaminess and healthy fat. These chewy mushrooms stuffed with velvety filling make a delicious party snack or a beautiful holiday appetizer.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Clean mushrooms with damp cloth, cut out the stems and save them for another recipe (try this delicious Barley Mushroom Soup with Chickpeas). Using a spoon scrape out and discard the gills.

Put mushroom caps onto a lined baking tray shallow side down. Brush with a bit of olive oil and bake for 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and turn upside down to cool.

While mushrooms are baking make the filling. Add chickpeas, avocado flesh, lemon juice, mustard, salt, spices and plant-based milk into food processor and blend until smooth. Start with 2 tablespoons of milk and add more until you reach the right consistency.

Transfer the chickpea filling into a piping bag and stuff the mushrooms.

Sprinkle with smoked paprika and serve.
