Ingredients

  • 1 Recipe Southern-Style Vegan Buttermilk Biscuits
  • 14 ounces vegan sausage crumbles, or chopped pieces *I used Impossible brand, see Notes
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 cups unsweetened, unflavored cashew milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook the vegan sausage.
  • Now add the flour, cashew milk and vegan butter. Cook on medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
  • Add the thyme, rosemary, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Taste the gravy and add any additional seasonings, salt or pepper, as desired.
  • Serve immediately over warm biscuits and enjoy!

Notes

  1. The old version of this recipe used tempeh sausage crumbles. If you want to use those, here is how to do it: In a large pan, crumble the tempeh and add enough water to almost cover it. Over medium-high heat, simmer the tempeh until most of the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Add the salt, spices and brown sugar and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Then continue with adding the flour and milk to make the gravy.
  2. You can also use my Easy Vegan Biscuits, which are oil free, if desired. Or store bought vegan biscuits.
  3. GF - For gluten free, use gluten free biscuits and a gluten free flour for thickening.
  4. Sausage - I love Impossible brand's new vegan sausage in a tube, but I've also used Gardein brand and Field Roast breakfast sausages, chopped small.
  5. Milk - I prefer unsweetened cashew milk, but you can use any unsweetened and unflavored milk. Homemade is truly best, as it doesn't have any unusual aftertastes.
