Wow!!! This is so good and comes together quickly! I don’t need to buy the gravy mixes anymore! I needed to make gravy in a pinch so I substituted in the same quantities: umami mushroom powder (someone mentioned the same idea above) for nutritional yeast, a grainier mustard (it was all I had on hand) for Dijon, and then cornstarch for APF (ok sorry – seems like I had some big substitutes – but this is all I had on hand). It turned out a little more gelatinous b/c I used corn starch so I had to dilute it, but otherwise the flavour was perfect. 🤩 I will make this again and again! Also super vegan friendly! Life changing !!
This recipe looks amazing and is so handy considering I don’t have butter. However, I realized there’s no nutritional yeast on hand. Do you think umami mushroom powder would work as a substitute? Any recommendations are appreciated!
This is a well loved recipe, and I think you will enjoy it! You can make it without the nutritional yeast. The flavor should be still be great! It would probably be quite delicious with the mushroom powder! Enjoy!
This is my second time making this gravy, and it’s simply delicious.
I really would like to make this gravy. But I noticed there is mustard in it. We do not use mustard at all. Can you recommend something different? Can I use Turmeric instead? Would that help the flavor? Let me know what you think Nora. Bu the way my Grandma’s name was Nora! I have not heard the name very often. Thanks for your wonderful recipes!
You can simply leave it out, no problem! I’ve done this before and it still tastes incredible. And that’s neat your grandma’s name was Nora, I have met very few in my life, but I think it’s making a bit of a comeback!
No fat, low carb, low protein — Nora’s vegan gravy recipe is awsome! We put it on pretty much everything 😂!
I have made this gravy many times, it’s delicious and we love it! Today I added about 2 tsp of sriracha sauce and oh my, takes it to another level! I love how versatile this is, thanks 😊
This is our go-to vegan gravy recipe. So easy and delicious!
Thank you for your terrific review and feedback, Amy! I’m glad you are loving the gravy! Happy cooking!
