These spooky Vegan Gluten Free Mummy Dogs have a secret ingredient that they are wrapped in. They are perfect for Halloween!
One goal that I have been working on is posting holiday recipes in a timely manner. In the past I had good intentions about posting recipes on time, but only followed through some of the time. I used to wait until the last minute, and either the recipe didn't work out or I got too busy to get it done on time.
Case in point: I made these Vegan Gluten Free Mummy Dogs last year, but with slightly different ingredients. They didn't turn out the way I wanted and I ran out of time to fix the recipe. This year, I made these in August so that if they didn't work out, I would have plenty of time to redo them.
I am sure you have seen mummy dogs before, either on Pinterest or the internet. Most of the recipes call for crescent roll dough. I wanted to make some that are vegan, gluten free, and just as easy as the recipes that are made with wheat ingredients.
The Secret Ingredient
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 personally think they look a lot more like the linen used to wrap mummies than crescent roll dough.
Anyway, 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.
With or without kids, I like to play with my food. An example would be my Stuffed Date Footballs or my Vegan Pizza Football Cheese Ball. I just need to make the time to do it more. Playing with food can be time consuming!
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love seeing all the costumes kids parade in, especially the homemade ones. My neighborhood is usually pretty busy with trick-or-treaters.
My neighbors who used to live across the street would go all out for Halloween. One year they even rented a storage trailer and decorated it as a haunted house. I think we still get a lot of trick-or-treaters because people expect them to be there with a decked out yard.
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.

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!

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.
Marcia says
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!
