Wow – I just made this tonight – and it will be a STAPLE in our household!! I served it over pulled tofu nuggets and potatoes. And with a side of greens, it was a fabulous meal. THANKS!!
I’m so glad you guys loved the gravy, and thrilled it will be a regular in your meal rotation! Thank you, Michelle, for sharing your review and comments!
I have rarely found a recipe so simple and so delicious! With the added bonus of having easy to find – easy to work with – and probably in your pantry right now – ingredients. Thank you! I legitimately make this ALL THE TIME.
Hi Angie. I love that you find this easy and delicious! Thank you for taking time to share you fun and great review!
Sensational! I made it this evening and put it all over my steamed veg, totally transforming the taste of everything. I suffer from acid reflux LPR and this has transformed by meals. Thank you!

Most excellent recipe for Easy Vegan Gravy. Very simple and easy to understand instructions and DELICIOUS!!!
Thank you, Tom, for sharing your great review! I’m glad you love the gravy!
I make this all the time it’s delicious, I do add a bit of vegemite to mine if I want a darker gravy. Equally yum and a boost of B12.
Thanks for the tip! Glad you enjoy it.
I can do onion powder thank you
This is amazing. I can’t believe how simple and delicious this recipe is. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Tyler, for sharing your review! I’m glad you love the gravy!
This is the best I had so far. It’s unbelievably good, easiest and the tastiest. My meat eater friends couldn’t believe it was vegan. They all asked for the recipe. Thanks Nora!
I’m glad everyone loved the gravy, Cidi! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you, Jessie!
My new go to gravy recipe. Added thyme and sage. Delicious
I’m glad you love the gravy and it is now your go to gravy recipe! Thanks Diane!
WRITE ON A POSTY NOTE AND STICK ON INSIDE CABINET DOOR NEAR OVEN!!! Trust me.
No joke. I never in a million year would have thought this recipe was going to be this easy and delicious. I made two changes. 1. My daughter (who is vegan) and myself (who is NOT vegan), both hate the taste of nutritional yeast. So… we kept it out. And I added Thyme. That was it. AMAZING. I will NEVER EVER waste beautiful mushrooms again by putting them in gravy cuz this is SOOO good, written AS IS (minus nutritional yeast).
I put it on top of my luscious buttery vegan parsley mashed potatoes I make. I ate 4 bowls!!! Laugh
Was going to post picture, but can not figure out how.
Hi Cathy! Thank you for your fun and wonderful review! Happy cooking!

Was in a pinch and found this – and it’s perfect! I had everything I needed and it really did take only 5 minutes.
I was surprised at how good the flavor was with so few ingredients needed. Good quality broth prob goes a long way here.

This was so good, thank you! My husband couldn’t get enough of it on his mashed potatoes and vegan meatballs.
