Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using stone-ground corn grits because they have a wonderful texture. If you're looking for a richer flavor, vegetable broth works beautifully in place of water. Nutritional yeast not only adds a cheesy flavor but is also packed with B vitamins, making it a great addition!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my nutritional yeast in a glass jar to maintain its freshness.
- •Don’t skip on stirring while the grits cook—this helps prevent them from clumping and sticking.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I like to mix in some sautéed garlic and kale for an extra boost of flavor and nutrition.
- •For a spicy kick, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce before serving.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat on the stove with a little water or plant-based almond milk to loosen them up again.
Frequently Asked Questions
