Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Gently remove the stems and set the caps aside on the prepared baking sheet.
Finely chop the mushroom stems, onion, and garlic.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped mushroom stems to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the walnuts, nutritional yeast, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine the rice flour and water to form a smooth batter.
Dip each mushroom cap first into the rice flour batter, ensuring they are fully coated, then into the breadcrumbs.
Stuff each breadcrumb-coated mushroom cap with 1-2 teaspoons of the mushroom stem mixture, pressing gently to ensure it stays in place.
Arrange the stuffed mushroom caps on the baking sheet, drizzling with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Allow the mushroom bites to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your savory dairy-free appetizer!
