This easy stuffing mix is made from scratch at home, with just a few simple ingredients! If you have gone to the grocery store only to find their gluten free stuffing mixes are sold out, now you can skip the stress! I show you how to make your own stuffing!

The seasoning for stuffing mix is really easy because I use ingredients you probably already have in your spice rack! I do have some fun flavor variations below so you can change it up too.

If you are gearing up for Thanksgiving, I hope you check out all of my delicious Gluten Free Thanksgiving Recipes!

Why this diy gluten free stuffing mix is great:

  1. Stuffing cubes sound so fun! It doesn't get any easier than making toasted bread cubes!
  2. No need to go to the store to try and find gluten free stuffing. I don't know about where you are but stores here sell out of gluten free stuffing mix early!
  3. I give lots of flavor options so you can customize the flavor how you like it!

Ingredient notes:

  • Gluten free bread - Use your favorite brand. I do not recommend using flavored bread like cinnamon raisin...flavored bread won't turn out well.
  • Olive oil - You can use any light oil you like, or butter.
  • Herbs - I use dried herbs for this recipe. Grab the basics like thyme, sage, basil, and oregano.

Recipe step by step directions:

Step 1: Slice your bread into small cubes on a cutting board. If your bread was frozen, be sure to let it thaw on the counter for 30-45 minutes to partially thaw first.

HINT: I like to make my gluten free stuffing cubes smaller like a boxed mix.

Step 2: Place the bread cubes into a small bowl.

Step 3: Drizzle the oil over the cubes and toss to coat. Preheat your oven to 325º F. Sprinkle the seasoning over the unseasoned stuffing cubes and mix well.

Step 4: Spread the bread cubes out on a baking sheet. Be sure they are not on top of each other so they bake evenly.

Step 5: Bake the stuffing cubes for 8 minutes then stir them so the other sides can get toasted.

Step 6: Allow the toasted bread cubes to cool and then put into an air-tight container.

Flavor variations:

You can flavor your stuffing cubes in so many ways when making an instant stuffing mix! I use the basics including thyme, oregano, and basil. Here are some of my favorite seasonings you can also use:

  • Garlic powder
  • Bay leaves
  • Chicken bouillon
  • Dried onion flakes

How to make stuffing with this stuffing mix:

You can use these bread cubes to make any kind of stuffing or dressing! Here are three delicious gluten free stuffing recipes!

  • Gluten Free Cranberry Mushroom Stuffing
  • Gluten Free Dressing
  • Traditional Gluten Free Stuffing

Tips and Recipe FAQ:

What is the best bread to use for stuffing?

That is a tricky question because it depends on what you like. I tend to use gluten free white bread for stuffing cubes because they are the most neutral in flavor.

Can you freeze these stuffing cubes?

Absolutely. I pop them into a freezer-safe zip-style bag and put them into the freezer.

How long will these stuffing cubes keep fresh?

These stuffing cubes should keep fresh for up to 2 weeks. If you are making ahead longer, you should freeze your cubes.

Can you use fresh herbs?

For this recipe, I recommend using dried herbs so that there isn't extra moisture coming into the bread cubes. Use the fresh herbs when you make the stuffing.

Storage:

Store this gluten free stuffing mix in an air-tight container. I love using mason jars, but you can use any container or even a zip-style zipper bag.

    It’s good to know that there are other people out there that have problems with gluten, such as celiac disease.
    This gals recipes always work out for me.
    I did, however; change 1/2 the salt for pepper because I’m not supposed to have that much salt —- but again that’s a personal dietary restriction.
