Prep time: 10 minutes

Heat your oven to 190c/375f/GM5.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Once the oil is hot add the onion and carrot. Fry for 10-15 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add the garlic and mushrooms. Fry for another 5-10 minutes until the mushroom has browned.
Blend the mixture from the pan with the chickpeas, walnuts, chestnuts, salt, pepper, spices, aquafaba and psyllium husk.
Add a small amount of oil to a muffin tin. Divide the muffin batter between all the holes. Bake for 35-45 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Tips:
If you want a herby stuffing simply omit the spices and replace with fresh sage leaves, thyme or rosemary.
The psyllium husk acts as a binder in this recipe but also adds moisture. You can omit it but the muffins will be a little crumbly.
