These spooky Vegan Gluten Free Mummy Dogs have a secret ingredient that they are wrapped in. They are perfect for Halloween!
Whether you are throwing a Halloween bash, or you want something festive to make with the kiddies, these Vegan Gluten Free Mummy Dogs are a quick and easy meal.
Can you tell from the photos what I used to wrap the mummys? The secret ingredient to make these mummy dogs is rice paper spring roll wrappers! I think they look a lot like the linen used to wrap mummies in.
They are fun and festive. If I had kids, I would make these with them. They are really easy to make, especially once you are accustomed to working with spring roll wrappers.

🧾 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Vegan hot dogs: I used jumbo sized hot dogs, but you could use any size vegan hot dogs.
- Rice paper spring roll wrappers: You could use white or brown rice spring roll wrappers.
- Ketchup and mustard: For the eyes and dipping. Finely cut black olives and mayo would also work well for eyes.
🔪 Instructions
- Cook vegan hot dogs per directions. I microwaved mine because it is quick and easy.
- In a saucepan heat some water (or microwave it). You don't want it so hot you can't dip your fingers in it.
- Pour water in a shallow dish that can fit the spring roll wrappers.
- One by dip, dip each spring roll wrapper into the water until it is pliable. Lay flat on a cutting board.
- Cut the wrapper with a scissors or knife into long strips lengthwise. You can also try cutting the wrapper before placing it in the water, but I found that they crack easily when doing it that way.
- Wrap the strips around each hot dog, rewetting them if they start to get too sticky. The wrapper will stick to itself and stay put.
- Using a toothpick make the eyes with mustard and ketchup.
🥡 Storage
For spring roll wrappers, it is best to make them right before serving. If you need to make them ahead of time you could wrap them individually in plastic wrap to prevent the hot dogs from sticking to each other and tearing the spring roll wrapper. Then they should last a couple of days.
📖 Variations / Additions
- Black olives and vegan mayo for the eyes
- Vegan cheese for the eyes
- Vegan puff pastry or crescent roll dough

I tried this over the weekend to see if I could make them for a party. They worked great! I think it helps that I've made Summer rolls many times. The kids are going to love these!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Marcia! I hope they do! Maybe they could get involved in the process!

Which brand of veggie hot dogs did you use? The base of all the brands I have found use gluten, and I have been searching for some that are gluten free.
Willow Moon says
It's frustrating, isn't it! I wish more products were gluten free and vegan! I use Litelife Jumbo Smart Dogs. They come in regular size too. I buy them at Whole Foods, Sprouts, and I think Trader Joe's might even carry them. When I want a bun I use EnerG hot dog buns. They are the only brand I have found that are vegan and gluten free. Sometimes I make buns out of Pamela's pizza mix for sandwiches.
Coral says
Thanks so much! My son has Celiac's and staying meat free at home is difficult. We will look for these.
Willow Moon says
I checked and see that they are not certified gluten free, even though they don't have any gluten in them. Hopefully they aren't manufactured in a plant that also has gluten products. I know with Celiac's you have to be extra careful.

So cute and creative! I wondered if these were spring roll wrappers! I was torn guessing between that and sauerkraut! Ha! So fun!
Willow Moon says
That's funny, they do look a bit like sauerkraut!
