Grits - Vegan recipe hero image

Grits hold a special place in my heart, reminding me of cozy mornings spent with family.

There's something so comforting about a warm bowl of creamy grits topped with whatever you fancy.

My favorite way to enjoy them is with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without the nutritional yeast.

Trust me, once you try these, you'll understand why they're a staple in my home!

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

Can I make these grits ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare them in advance, just reheat with a splash of plant-based almond milk to bring back the creaminess.
