If you have 10 minutes to give me, I have the BEST easy vegan gravy recipe to give you! Top over vegan mashed potatoes, vegan meatballs, and more!
Gravy is one of those recipes that just complete any hearty meal.
Of course I love it on creamy vegan mashed potatoes. But I also have been known to smothered it with some fried oyster mushrooms, top it over my lentil meatballs, and my delicious lentil shepherd's pie!
However you choose to eat it, you will keep coming back to this recipe because it is so simple to make and just so dang on good!
What is Vegan Gravy Made of?
Just like traditional gravy, you have the base made of the following:
- vegetable broth
- flour
- vegan butter
- spices
Now when typically I would use my sea moss vegan bone broth as a based for any recipe calling for broth. But for this recipe, I use Not Beef Stock Cubes by Edward Sons.
The flavor is phenomenal and you do not need any salt when using this broth cube. Also, it helps darken the gravy a bit.
For the flour, I used an old time staple here on Vegan With Curves, yep you guessed it, spelt flour.
Spelt flour has a higher protein content which is perfect for vegan weight gain. It is more digestible than wheat or white flour. And it is dark which adds a nice rich and color to our gravy!
