  1. Been vegan for nearly 10 years and finally found this recipe! What a game changer. Hands down the best and easiest vegan gravy recipe out there. Thank you!

    1. You are welcome, Lee! I’m so glad you love the gravy! Thanks for your fabulous review and feedback!

  2. I was looking for a vegan gravy and this is perfect. I substituted the flour for oat flour and omitted the Dijon mustard. So delicious and super easy to make since I already had all the ingredients. Thank you so much!

    1. You can freeze it, but it will not be super smooth after freezing. I’d probably blend it after it thaws, or use an immersion blender to get it smooth again.

  3. I have been looking for a gravy recipe like this for so long now! The second I read the ingredients I realized I had everything on hand and got up and made it. I didn’t have any russet potatoes to make mashed potatoes but I did have tater tots and this was awesome over the top of them! I tasted it before adding the flour and thought yep this tastes exactly like the gravy I’ve been wanting! But then I realized I hadn’t added the Dijon mustard so I added it at the end and it changed the flavor. So I may leave that out in the future. It was still good but to me anytime Dijon is in a recipe it overpowers everything else. I have a really awesome vegan mayo recipe that I have to leave it out of as well when I want to make certain dishes because it dominates with the flavor. So it tastes great either way! Thank you so much for another awesome recipe! ❤️

  4. I absolutely love this gravy and have made it several times. I ran out of vegetable broth, so I used some mushroom broth from a carton. I had some Trader Joe’s Mushroom Umami Seasoning and sprinkled in maybe 1/2 tsp. or so. Since I LOVE T-day stuffing (veganized of course), I sprinkled in a little parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Oh my goodness!! It smells and tastes wonderful. SO good over mashed potatoes or brown rice. I love knowing I am never more than 5 minutes away from devouring GRAVY!

    1. Your gravy sounds amazing! I’m so thrilled you are loving the recipe! Thanks for sharing your fabulous review! Wishing you happy cooking!

  5. The first words out of my husband’s mouth were WOW, remarkable! He’s never been a fan of the vegan gravies I’ve tried… making it was soooo easy. And we both agreed it was the best gravy we ever had! I’m so sorry I hadn’t tried it sooner!!! Thank you Nora

  6. Delicious! Served this at Christmas lunch and it was a hit with both vegans and non-vegans at the table. Blitzed it in a small blender to make it super smooth.

  7. Tastes great! Only issue is my flour left a bunch of little clumps that wouldn’t dissolve so I had to strain the gravy into a container. I mixed everything on the stove and the flour was last so maybe that was the issue? Do you mix them all before putting them on the heat?

    1. I don’t mix them before turning the heat on, but I do whisk very well to get it smooth. An immersion blender works well if you come across chunks, or you can always throw it in a blender, but I’ve never had to do either of those.

    2. I’m surprised that she didn’t suggest this in the recipe that you should always make a slurry first. I used a half a cup of the veggie broth and put it into my four cup measuring cup with all of the flour and mixed it with a fork until smooth. Then heat up all your other ingredients in the pot and while whisking constantly add the slurry to the pot. This is a sure guarantee for the smoothest gravy you will ever get. I’ve been doing my gravies like this for years. It’s basically a standard procedure to have smooth gravy with no clumps.

  8. I made this today to serve with tofu steaks, it’s delicious! I increased the onion powder and dijon mustard to 1 teaspoon. I will be making this for Christmas to serve with Bean Wellington!

    1. That sounds really tasty, Carina! I’m thrilled you loved the gravy and thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and review!

    1. You can use any sort of vegetable based broth you can find. Or you could make your own, but that would be quite time consuming. There are many recipes online for homemade vegetable broth.

      1. honstly you can just substitute water in a pinch. There’s really not much difference. Or if you have any bouillion cubes, just disolve them in water.

  9. This was great! I had some extra Morning Star Farms crumbles lying around and turned this into a vegan stroganoff.

  10. This is the best gravy I have ever had let alone best vegan gravy! It tastes like chicken gravy and goes well with a vegan chrissy roast with roast veggies!

  11. This is my go-to recipe for gravy every time. I see you say it lasts up to a week but ours never lasts more than 2 days! 😂

    1. Hi Christina. I relate to the not lasting part! Thanks for sharing your wonderful comments! How awesome that you love the gravy!

  12. The BEST…and the easiest! I made the Best fried chicken and the BEST mashed potatoes. I’m living in heaven! Thank you Nora, you are the BEST!

    1. You are welcome, Susan! I appreciate you and your kind and encouraging words! Thank you for taking time to share you awesome review and feedback!
