Stuffing Muffins
Stuffing Muffins bring all the flavor of holiday stuffing but in a neat, easy-to-serve package. They bake up golden on the outside and soft inside, making them great for weeknight dinners or holiday meals. And talk about the best way to use leftover stuffing!
Stuffing Muffins look impressive on the table with just a little effort.They taste just like classic stuffing, but the edges get lightly crisp, which adds great texture. These little crispy-on-the-outside and soft-on-the-inside bites are comforting, familiar, and work well with roasted chicken, turkey, or pork chops.

These are perfect for potlucks too. Portioning is simple because each muffin is already an individual serving.
The recipe easy to scale the recipe up or down depending on the size of your meal. They’re great for small households, meal prep, and holiday buffets.
What You Need For Stuffing Muffins
When writing your shopping list, check your pantry first for stuffing mix and dried seasonings. Everything else is simple to pick up quickly.
- prepared stuffing OR a box of instant stuffing
- grated Parmesan cheese, or use grate it yourself
- fresh parsley, dried will work too
- salt
- gravy
- butter
- extra gravy for serving
Equipment you will need:
- muffin pan
- measuring cups
- mixing bowl
- spoon or fork for mixing
You can use leftover homemade stuffing, box stuffing mix, or even day-old bread cubes tossed with broth and your favorite seasonings. Just aim for a texture that holds together when gently pressed.
Add crumbled sausage, chopped turkey, canned mushrooms, or even leftover cooked vegetables. Adding a protein makes these muffins more a main dish rather than a side dish.
If You Have More Leftover Stuffing
Try making leftover stuffing waffles. The crispy edges of the waffles still have me thinking of them years later! They’re one of the best ways to use leftover stuffing. Of course you can make fresh stuffing and make them too.
How To Store These Muffins
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer so the edges crisp back up.
