    This easy vegan gravy with mushrooms is full of savory, umami flavor! It's made with sautéed mushrooms, vegetable stock, and onion and garlic powder.

    It's great for Thanksgiving or Christmas and can be paired with any side dishes such as biscuits and roasted vegetables.

    What makes the vegetarian gravy different is the addition of soy sauce for a darker color. If you find veggie gravy to be too pale for your liking, add a splash of soy sauce, tamari, or liquid aminos. You can't taste the soy sauce but you can see the difference in color!

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for vegan gravy with text overlay.
    • Mushrooms - Use any variety of mushrooms you'd like. I used baby bella or crimini mushrooms but any combination of white button mushrooms, oysters, porcini, portobello, or chanterelle mushrooms will do.
    • Stock or broth - Use a good quality vegetable stock. Check the ingredients in the back and avoid ones that use artificial flavorings.
    • Flour - Use all purpose flour. This is what will thicken the gravy.
    • Seasonings: Garlic powder, onion powder, bay leaf.

    How to Make Vegan Gravy

    1. Slice the mushrooms about 1 cm thick and sauté with vegetable oil. Set this aside.
    2. Add the flour and vegetable oil and stir continuously for about 2 minutes until a thick paste forms.
    3. Next, add a bit of stock at a time and stir vigorously with a whisk until it's smooth and lump free. Add the rest of the stock, sautéed mushrooms, onion powder, garlic powder, and bay leaf.
    4. If you prefer a darker gravy, add a bit of soy sauce.
    5. Boil until thick and smooth, about 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!

    How do I reheat vegan gravy?

    This will thicken as it sets and cools. You can reheat it on the stovetop or the microwave while stirring occasionally.

    How do I prevent lumps in my gravy?

    To prevent lumps, add a small amount of stock slowly and stir vigorously with a whisk. Once smooth and lump free, add the remaining stock while continuously stirring.

    How long does vegan gravy last in the fridge?

    I recommend consuming within 3 days. Store in an airtight container and keep in the fridge.

    Can I make this without stock?

    To make gravy without stock, substitute with vegetarian bouillon cubes, stock powder, or stock concentrate/paste. Use according to the directions.
