Spinach & Artichoke Stuffed Mushrooms
These Spinach & Artichoke Stuffed Mushrooms are an easy to prepare appetizer or side dish that come together in 30 minutes. These Whole30 Stuffed Mushrooms are also Paleo, Keto and can easily be made Vegan by using an egg free mayonnaise.
Mushroom caps are the perfect blank canvas to fill with just about anything. From pesto and roasted tomatoes, to ground meat or crab, the options are truly endless.
In this recipe the mushroom caps are filled with a creamy spinach and artichoke mixture and then topped with a crunchy almond flour topping.
I used chestnut mushrooms for this recipe but button or portobello mushroom would also work well. The first step is to remove the stem and scoop out the inner gills. I also like to remove some a bit more of the inner part of the mushroom to fit as much filling as possible.
The filling is so delicious that I was eating it by the spoonful directly from the bowl. I prefer to use my own homemade mayonnaise for this recipe but you can also use store bought. I prefer to use homemade because it literally takes just 3 minutes to make and is so much tastier and cleaner then anything you would find in store.
The mayonnaise is mixed with sautéed spinach, garlic, onion and chopped artichoke hearts and then flavoured with lemon juice and pinch of paprika.
Once the mushrooms are stuffed, they are baked in the oven for 20 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the spinach and artichoke filling is warm and bubbling.
I have included instructions for a crunchy “breadcrumb” topping made with almond flour, parsley and nutritional yeast (or parmesan). It only takes a few minutes to make on the stove top.
After topping each mushroom with the “breadcrumbs” they are then popped back in the oven to get nice and crunchy. Truthfully the mushrooms are delicious on their own without the topping, so feel free to leave this part out, I just like the crunch it adds to each bite.
These Whole30 stuffed mushrooms are a fantastic vegetarian side dish. I like making a big batch of them on Sunday night and then having them as a side dish for dinner throughout the week. You could also use smaller mushrooms and serve them as canapés.

YUM!!! Made these exactly as listed, but used portobellos and wow. They were filling and so incredibly delicious. I make my own mayo for whole30 anyway so this was super quick and so tasty. Definitely making again.
Hi,
Would love to try this for Thanksgiving. Can you make any part of this ahead of time, even freezing?
Thank you
Yes you could definitely make the spinach and artichoke filling up to 3 days in advance and fill and bake the mushrooms the day of.
Do you use raw artichokes, or cook then first?
No you should use cooked artichokes for this dip
My husband made these for me. He added bacon bits. They were amazing. Capital A amazing. I do love mushrooms though. I wanted to make a Paleo side dish that my son could eat who has Crohn’s. My five-year-old son love them also along with everyone at the party who ate them. We didn’t make enough
Yea! So happy to hear that they were a hit! Thanks for the comment Olivia!
Just a clarification, I don’t think this is vegan since there are eggs in the mayo… Still want to make them, but for those who are strictly vegan this would make a difference.
They are also not plant based since added oil is used as well as the mayonnaise.
I just made these and they are so good! A lot easier than I expected as well. Thank you!
Yea!! So happy to hear that!! Thanks for leaving a comment!
