There often are hundreds of versions of some popular dishes on the web. Sometimes I make elaborate versions of the simple ones or make some with my own twists. But then it is the holiday season and everyone needs a simple gravy recipe to serve over them fluffy tatoes. This is one of the ways I like my gravy. You can add mushrooms with the onions to the gravy for a mushroom variation. Use fresh herbs if possible for amazing flavor.
I cook my potatoes and garlic togetherin the Instant pot. Mash and whip, add some coconut milk and herbs of choice. Done! Potatoes can also be cooked in a saucepan. See post for options.
The gravy needs just 1 pot and comes together quickly. Change up the flavors to taste and pour over anything and everything! Time to make some comfort food.

- Prep 10 minutes
- Cook 30 minutes
- Total 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour (use rice flour for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or more flour for corn-free)
- 2 teaspoons vegan worchestershire sauce (or use soy sauce or chickpea miso)
- 1/2 teaspoon prepared stone ground mustard (or use 1/4 tsp ground mustard + 1/2 tsp vinegar)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or white pepper)
- pinch nutmeg (or cinnamon)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- generous dash fresh or dried thyme and sage
- 1 cup non dairy milk (such as soy or cashew milk or use stock.)
- 1 1/4 cup water (or stock)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more, to taste)
Instructions
- 1

- 2
Add the sauces and spices and mix in. Add the milk and whisk it in. Then add 1/2 cup water and the salt and keep whisking and add more water. Mix and bring to a boil. Keep whisking frequently. It will take 4 to 6 minutes to thicken. Taste and adjust flavor. Add some soy sauce for additional saltiness. Add some poultry seasoning for additional flavor, if you like. Add more water if too thick. Serve over mashed potatoes or biscuits.
Notes
This gravy is best served hot. If the gravy has flour lumps, or if you want smooth gravy, blend it up, heat it for a minute and serve. If you make ahead. It will thicken in the refrigerator. Reheat and add more stock as needed. To make this gluten-free, use rice flour instead of the all-purpose flour. For a soy-free version, use chickpea miso instead of the Worcestershire sauce and choose a soy-free non-dairy milk. To make it nut-free, make sure that your non-dairy milk is nut-free. To make this without nutritional yeast, replace it with 1 teaspoon miso. To make easy vegan gravy with mushrooms, add 6 to 8 oz mushrooms with onion and cook to golden.
