Meatloaf was a staple in my husband’s childhood—one of those cozy, home-cooked meals that just feels like a warm hug. So, of course, when I made this Vegan Lentil Meatloaf recipe, I had to see if it passed the ultimate test: …let’s just say that I made this on repeat for days as he just couldn’t get enough of this deliciousness!
This lentil loaf is hearty, packed with protein-rich lentils, and has that perfect texture—moist but not mushy, firm but not dry. And the glaze… sticky, tangy, slightly sweet, and downright irresistible.
One of the best things about this recipe (besides being so good for you) is how flexible it is. Need a gluten-free version? Easy—just use gluten-free breadcrumbs and swap soy sauce with tamari. Not into mushrooms? No problem—swap them for finely diced zucchini or just leave them out. It’s meal-prep friendly, freezer-friendly, and, most importantly, picky-eater friendly. Whether it’s a cozy weeknight dinner or a holiday centerpiece for Thanksgiving or Christmas, this vegan meatloaf delivers all the comfort with none of the fuss!
