Easy Vegan Gravy

This Vegan Gravy is as Easy as Gravy! Super rich and delicious, you’ll want to drizzle it on just about anything you can!

Gravy is one of those things that I was always mystified by before going vegan. Like, you gotta roast an animal, and then use the rendered fat? And you add what else to it? How do you make it thick? I honestly just never made it! Good news is this Vegan Gravy requires no animals and it’s easy as HECK!

It’s also super delicious! I know something like this is good when I can just eat it with a spoon like soup! This stuff is perfect for some Mashed Potatoes, a Vegan Roast Turkey, or a Shepherd’s Pie! I even ate some with just a piece of bread and it was one of the best things I ate that day.

While I do love this Gravy since it’s tasty and easy, if you want something with a little more depth of flavor with a bit more work, check out my Mushroom Gravy!

ingredients for vegan Gravy

• Vegan Butter – I like the Earth Balance brand for this recipe.
• Mushroom Seasoning – The Trader Joe’s Mushroom Seasoning is my go to these days as it’s the most accessible one in the US that I know of.

• Flour – To thicken the gravy of course!
• Vegan Beef Broth or Veggie Broth – You can use any kind of broth you like, just make sure it’s tasty!

• Browning Sauce – Kitchen Bouquet and Gravy Master are my choices for this. It’s mostly for color but does add some flavor. But it’s totally optional!

• Dijon Mustard – to add a little zip!
• Vegan Worcestershire – Can sub with Soy Sauce or Steak Sauce!
• Fresh Herbs – Optionally, you can simmer the gravy with something like Rosemary or Thyme for some added flavor.

how to make vegan Gravy

In a saucepan, melt the vegan butter. Then add in the Mushroom Seasoning, Onion and Garlic Powder. Stir to bloom the seasonings.

Next add in the flour 1 – 2 Tbsp at a time, whisk in and repeat with the rest of the flour. Stir and cook for 2 – 3 minutes.

Then add in the broth 1/2 cup at time. Stir in the Dijon Mustard and Vegan Worcestershire, and any other seasonings you’d like. If Gravy is too thick, add a splash of broth, or too thin, you can simmer and reduce. Keep in mind the gravy will thicken as it cools.

You’re done, use your Easy Vegan Gravy however you’d like!

Instructions

 

• In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the vegan butter. Then add in the Mushroom Seasoning, Onion and Garlic Powder. Stir to bloom the seasonings.
