Vegan Pineapple Casserole
Pineapple Casserole is a classic old fashion southern casserole. Good news is that it can very easily be veganized. It is a sweet casserole but it isn’t served as desert. It’s a side dish that you will often see at family gatherings and on holiday tables in the south. Pineapple Casserole is one of those recipes that everyones mamas just knows. The ingredients are simple and don’t vary much from recipe to recipe. For our Vegan Pineapple Casserole recipe I substituted ingredients to make it vegan and cut back the amount of sugar traditional recipes use to make it sightly healthier.

I hope you enjoy our Vegan Pineapple Casserole! If this is a dish that you know and love let me know what you think of our vegan version. What other traditional southern casseroles need a vegan facelift? I wanted to veganize this one before Easter because I know it will be on a lot of southern family tables for holiday meals. I think it would be great with a seitan ham!

I think this would be delicious over a giant baked sweet potato 😊
I’ve been trying to veganize my old southern standbys, too, and I’m finding bacon fat to be the hardest to replace flavor wise (especially pinto beans lol)

That’s a great idea! Have you tried liquid smoked? Not quite the same but we will add a dash to beans and greens.
