Mini Stuffing Muffins

This post may contain affiliate or brand partner links. Read our full disclosure here.

Happy Thanksgiving/Holiday Season, y’all!  Have you seen enough pumpkin/turkey/cranberry recipes to make you sick yet?  NEVER, right?!

Today’s recipe falls into that category, but it’s a little different.  It’s definitely Thanksgiving-inspired, but the delivery is changed up a little bit.  Instead of a big pan of baked stuffing, these are tiny little stuffing treats that you can pop right into your mouth!

These would be perfect for a Thanksgiving office party or to have out on the counter as an “appe-teaser” while the turkey is finishing up in the oven for your family gathering.  Either way – they’re tiny, pop-able and ridiculously easy to whip up!

Me?  I could see myself dunking these into the gravy on my plate during the big feast – yummy!

    Holy Moly Stuffing! I woke up this morning (around 6:30am) craving — CRAVINGGGGGGG — Stove Top stuffing. Seriously, this is insanity. I love the idea of stuffing baked in a mini-muffin pan, just like mini cupcakes. GENIUS. Thanks for sharing and encouraging my ridiculous pregnancy cravings. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

    Mmm stuffing bites. The easiest way to serve stuffing/dressing. I LOVE target's seasonal section. Gets me in the mood for every holiday! And my go-to Starbucks is always a steamer, with various flavors to fit the season. Right now it's a butterbeer!

    What a neat idea! I tend to put a little too much stuffing on my plate at Thanksgiving, but these muffins would solve that!

    I totally love this idea! I have read so many articles that say that you shouldn't stuff a turkey. This is such a great alternative.

    Those muffins look delicious. It is nice to get so much flavor in a small serving so you don't have to worry about excess calories.
