    Best Vegan Gravy Ever

    Published: Mar 28, 2015 · Modified: Jun 2, 2024 by Chuck Underwood · 134 Comments

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Gravy was like my number one comfort food growing up, so how on earth would I ever give it up switching to a plant-based diet?  I didn't - instead, I learned to make the absolute BEST VEGAN GRAVY ever and I swear it's every bit as good.

    a plate of mashed potatoes covered in the best vegan gravy

    Why would we ever need to give up gravy to begin with you ask?  And what about those little envelopes of gravy mix in the store?  Can't we just use those?

    I use to think the exact same thing when I first became Vegan, but have you ever looked at the ingredients in one of those little packets?

    Enriched Wheat Flour (Flour, Niacin, Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Wheat Starch, Salt, Beef Fat, Hydrolyzed Soy, Wheat, And Corn Protein, Onion, Caramel Color, Corn Syrup Solids, Sodium Caseinate (Milk), Spices (Including White Pepper), Garlic, Natural Flavor, Disodium Inosinate And Guanylate (Flavor Enhancers), Extractives Of Paprika, And Yeast Extract.

    Doesn't THAT sound yummy.....

    Corn syrup solids?  Flavor enhancers?  Beef fat?  Hydrolyzed Soy, Wheat, AND Corn Protein?  Oh, and let's not forget the TON of sodium......

    Definitely not Vegan, and definitely NOT healthy either.

    No worries, there IS a way to get your gravy fix, it only uses a few ingredients, it's fat free, and it literally takes just minutes to whip up a batch.

    Why This Really IS The Best Vegan Gravy!

    mashed potatoes and my best vegan gravy

    100% Vegan, Oil-free, and now with GLUTEN-FREE options too: Like all of my recipes, this is made without any animal products or bottled oils and happens to be easy to make gluten-free as well.

    No Amazon searching for weird ingredients: In fact, you may already have everything you'll need right in your pantry. Ok - maybe the kitchen bouquet will be tricky but it's mainly for color so feel free to leave it out.

    Super EASY to make: Seriously, you add stuff to a pot and turn on the burner. Easy peasy. You DO probably want to stir it now and then 🤣.

    Super FAST too: In the time it takes you to boil and mash your potatoes you can whip up this gravy! Seriously!

    Super popular recipe: Over the years I've had LOTS of positive feedback and that only means one thing... people LOVE this recipe! Even the non-vegans who have tried it have given it a huge thumbs up!

    Notable Ingredients & Substitutions

    ingredient photo showing all the ingredients needed to make the best vegan gravy

    Vegetable Broth

    Whatever kind of veggie broth you like to use will work here. I know some of you make your own, so way to control the sodium! I buy the low-sodium brands that are oil-free or use Better Than Bouillon and whip up my own.

    Soy Sauce

    Again, I try to keep this as low in sodium as I can, so buy the low-sodium soy sauce if you can. Use Tamari if you are gluten-free. Coconut Aminos is an even lower sodium alternative!

    Flour

    In the original 2015 recipe I used whole wheat flour and that works fine. This time I ground up some old-fashioned oats and made oat flour to make it gluten-free and THAT worked too. You can also try rice flour.

    Kitchen Bouquet

    Kitchen Bouquet is a browning sauce that you can find in your grocery next to the A1 and Worcestershire Sauce.  It's completely optional - but it does help add a bit of color to the gravy, however, it will not affect the flavor at all if you decide to leave it out.

    *See the recipe card at the bottom of the page for exact quantities and detailed cooking directions.

    How To Make The Best Vegan Gravy You Ever Tasted

    dry gravy ingredients in a pan

    Step 1

    Toast the Dry Stuff

    Whisk the flour, nutritional yeast, and spices together and place in a pan over medium heat. Lightly toast and stir for about 30 seconds until you can smell the aroma.

    adding wet ingredients

    Step 2

    Mix in the Wet Stuff

    Whisk the veggie broth, soy sauce, and mustard together and pour into the pan while whisking continuously. We don't want lumpy gravy! (if you are using the kitchen bouquet - whisk that in too).

    gravy simmering on a burner

    Step 3

    Whisk, Heat, & Eat!

    Turn up the heat to a simmer and whisk any lumps away. If you're using whole wheat flour it will thicken nicely. If you are using gluten-free flour you might need to stir in a slurry of 2 teaspoon cornstarch & water to thicken.

    Step 4

    Enjoy!

    Whether it's on potatoes, rice, veggies, or my fav - an old-fashioned Indiana Beef Manhattan this gravy will satisfy all those comfort-food cravings.

    Storage FAQs

    Does This Vegan Gravy Freeze Well?

    Absolutely.

    Storage Ideas?

    This vegan gravy will keep in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for about 4-5 days (if it lasts that long).

      Just made the "Best Vegan Gravy" and it was amazing! Plan to make it over and over and over. I added mushrooms this time and will probably add some cooked onions next time too. Soooo very good, I poured it over golden potatoes that I had steamed in the rice cooker that were in the frig. but there are so many ways to enjoy this receipe. 🙂 Yum! Try it you'll love it!

      Gravy is a Food Group! As another option for the thickener, I like to use white bean flour instead of wheat flour. I grind my beans in a flour mill but am sure you could grind small amounts in a coffee or spice grinder too, if you don't have a flour mill. The beans will produce silky smooth gravy as long as you grind them to a fine flour.

      Since this freezes well, I’d like to try using the Souper Cubes trays to freeze in small servings, so it’s easy to grab for a quick meal.

      This has been my favorite gravy recipe for a long time - easy and delicious! After I had to switch to gluten free food, I did try using a Bob's Red Mill gluten free flour instead of wheat flour, and it was okay, but I tried Chuck's oat flour version and I think it's better than my GF version.

      OMG! I’ve been using (essentially) this recipe almost since it was posted. I settled on veggie Better than Bouillon for the broth. That makes it so easy to always have done on hand.

      I have tried many others since. But I come back to this one over & over. I learned that a very slow simmer is key, at least for me, anyway. Otherwise it can scorch.

      Genius! Thanks so many years later!!

      Really excellent gravy! I didn't have kitchen bouquet but I think I'd like to add that next time for color. I also didn't have low sodium soy sauce so I used braggs liquid aminos and it came out really good. I used better than bouillon no chicken base but i'd like to experiment with the mushroom and the veggie bouillons for this gravy.

      Poured it over some mashed potatoes that had only almond milk and a little salt, and then warmed up a bag of frozen mixed veggies for a super filling low calorie density meal.

      was looking for a low sodium/no fat gravy...i have heard that from one to 600 milligrams is needed per day...nearly all the soy/tamari type sauces have lots of sodium measured by the teaspoon...if i eat them a few times a day it adds up...is there a very low soy "like" sauce with very low or no sodium?

      I just made this gravy for the first time and it is great! I did follow some of the advice from previous comments - I added rosemary, sage and thyme, decreased black pepper and mustard, and blended all of the dry ingredients before toasting. I had no problems with lumps and this gravy is making a great addition to our Thanksgiving meal!

      Wow! Yummo! I usually stay clear of any recipes that have nooch in them (can't stand fake cheese sauces because of it) but I love gravy so had to try it out. It is excellent! I used about half and half white flour and brown rice flour but otherwise followed the recipe.

      Thank you for "letting me" have gravy again!

      Unless you live and shop in a back water region or bush (wish I could live there) or shop at a conventional Asian market, you can find Low Sodium, and/or Wheat Free, Vegan (generally true Soy Sauce and Tamari IS vegan) at almost any up to date grocery store.
      I worked for a Macrobiotic Counselor chef in Washington, DC. We cooked with Soy Sauce, Tamari and SHYOU.
      I had no idea what the real differences was in all of these soy condiments. so I poured them each into 3 monkey dishes.and took a straight up sip from each one. Soy Sauce was strong, heavier, saltier; the Tamari Sauce was lighter and not so heavy and the Shoyu was even more refined and delicate in flavor; it also comes in wheat free,low sodium. It is more expensive but I'll trade a bag of cookies for it any day. My chef boss also confirmed my findings. Shoyu is top drawer. Shoyu ( I always get wheat free, low sodium) is more delicate, but still full bodied. Wholefoods or online will carry this; until of course people stop buying it or never ask for it.

      I have to tell you...I made this for Thanksgiving dinner with my omnivorous family. It was SOOO good, I literally walked around the house and gave a spoonful to just about everyone there. Without exception, they said it tasted Just Like roast beef or venison gravy. Absolutely perfect.

      I have used many of your recipes, some with my own tweaks of course, and will continue to do so. Thank you So Very Much, Chuck!

      This gravy is awesome but I need nutritional yeast not fortified with B vitamins. I am super sensitive to the niacin flush and Bob's Red Mill Nutritional Yeast has way more niacin than I can handle - I am hot and itchy for hours after each time I eat it. I cut out the nutritional yeast and no more hot and itchy flashes but it is not quite as good.

      I might marry this gravy. My meat eating husband even likes it and may I add he doesn't even like gravy that much; doesn't eat it at Thanksgiving for example. But he likes this.

      I make it without tamari, mustard or kitchen bouquet. I use about 1/4 tsp of dried rosemary, and sprinkle some salt on top of my food since I skipped the tamari.

      I love this recipe and it has become a family favorite! The only thing I changed is the amount of pepper (the first time I made it I had to throw it out and make it again because there was to much pepper) and also once I toast the dry ingredients I put all the ingredients in a blender and blend it and then put it back on the stove to thicken..the texture is SO MUCH BETTER!

          Add the flour to the cold vegetable broth before adding to the hot ingredients. The heat will make tiny dumplings (lumps) otherwise.

      I made this just a few minutes ago. It is REALLY GOOD!! I added a few fresh herbs, sage, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of Mrs Dash no-salt seasoning, plus a few slices of portobello mushroom, chopped finely. And, since I had no veggie broth, I used the water I cooked my green beans in, and more plain water. It was excellent. I'm a retired chef, and very critical, but I would recommend this to anyone, vegan or SAD! Great job, Chuck!

When gravy was done I added a fresh sprig of each Rosemary, Thyme and Sage and let it sit on very low while I got everything else together and on the table. The gravy was the last to be placed on the table, piping hot and delicious! I mean awesome!!! This is a keeper and will be served for all our special occasions and more!

I have to admit I didn't have too high hopes. So, I was pretty surprised at how thick it got and how perfect tasting it was!

The only thing I did different was to add 1/2 tsp of Bell's poultry seasoning, I used mustard powder instead of prepared and cut the soy sauce in half. BANGING!!!!!!

        Don't say that! I always thought I was a terrible cook, but then I realized it was because I needed practice and that not every recipe is perfect for your preferred flavor profile. Now when I make something new, I go by the recipe as exactly as I can, then I ask my family, what did you like, what didn't you like, and how could I change it to make it better for us. I find it takes 2-3 times to really get it right for me.
