This is the traditional gravy flavour I remember falling in love with from my pre-vegan days, so if you’re looking for that creamy, smooth, umami-filled traditional gravy—this vegan gravy is for you! Also if you’re not a fan of mushrooms or mushroom gravy, you’ll for sure love this one. It still has tons of flavour, making it perfect for pairing with vegan mashed potatoes.

Enjoy friends! If you make this vegan gravy, please snap a photo and tag #jessicainthekitchen on Instagram! We’d also love it if you would leave a comment below, and give the recipe a rating! Thanks so much!
Vegan butter or olive oil – Vegan butter will impart a richer flavour, but if it’s not something you buy regularly or keep on hand, by all means, use olive oil. Flour – Make your vegan gravy gluten-free by using your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Onion powder – This is important! It’s how you get so much flavour in this gravy without adding diced onions. Garlic powder – And this is the second addition that amps up the flavour. Vegetable broth – The third component of the flavour in this gravy is vegetable broth, which means you need to use a good one. I strongly recommend a homemade vegetable broth, but if you don’t have time, spring for a high-quality store-bought vegetable broth. Soy sauce – Soy sauce adds that signature umami flavour to your gravy. Use Tamari for a gluten-free option. Ground black pepper Salt
Do you love mushrooms? Add them diced or sliced—or just make my vegan mushroom gravy recipe! Love mushroom flavour, but don’t want the actual mushrooms in your gravy? Swap the vegetable broth for mushroom broth. Add minced celery, carrots, and onions if you want a chunkier gravy. Stir in dried or minced fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or sage. Season with smoked paprika for a smoky flavour.
