So good, and without all the nasties 🙂 this is a real keeper!
Can I use Coconut aminos instead ?
Hi Kae. I have not tried it myself, however, this should work and give you similar results. Others have tried it and commented that it worked well. Hope this helps!

Perfect and easy. Used it on farmer’s pie (veggies and mashed potatoes)
Yumm, sounds delicious! I’m glad you loved the gravy! Thank you for sharing your great feedback!
I needed a quick vegetarian gravy recipe and to be perfectly honest, I didn’t have the highest hopes for a 5 minute vegan gravy recipe ? HOWEVER, I had all the ingredients on hand and it was so quick, easy, and…. delicious! Even my meat eating husband loved it and asked me to save the recipe for future use. Thank you for the recipe, it will be a staple in our household going forward.

Hi Jennifer. I’m so happy to hear you guys are loving the gravy! Thanks for sharing your wonderful feedback and review!
I like this easy fat free gravy a lot but it was too thick. I thinned out with some water and added a few tsp of better than bouillon. Delish!
Hi Ann. I’m glad you love the gravy, and that you were able to adjust the consistency to your liking! Thank you for your wonderful feedback!
This is amazing and I used like no ingredients! Only with flour, stick and tamari! BOOM thick as ?
Thank you! Legend!!
It’s so easy, right?! Thank you for your wonderful review, Cara!
Can you use almond flour instead of flour?
I haven’t tried it, but I don’t think almond flour would work because it doesn’t absorb liquid as well as regular or brown rice flour.
This gravy is awesome. I added about a teaspoon of Cumin and a 1/4 tsp of white pepper and it puts it over the top. I use it on so many more foods than just potatoes, sometimes I’ll just take a plate of vegetables and eat them with leftover gravy.
Hi Wally. I agree that this gravy can be used in many ways! I’m so glad you love it! Thanks for sharing your positive feedback and review!

You are welcome! Thank you for sharing your feedback!
This really is the best vegan gravy I have tried. And so quick! Normally it is such a chore.
Awesome recipe – I added pepper flakes, garlic powder with a dash of black salt for a bit more depth 😉
So good! So quick and easy and the perfect thickness also. I even had to substitute some things (stock instead of vegetable broth, and 1tbs onion salt instead of 3/4 onion powder) and it worked out perfectly!
Hi Emma. Thanks for sharing your wonderful feedback! I’m glad you loved the gravy!
Hi
This tastes so salty, what am I doing wrong? Everyone raving about the flavour / how would I reduce the saltiness – leave out the yeast or tamari? I tried halving the Tamari , still the same. I made it with cornflour for my celiac vegetarian daughter.
Hi Jane. The gravy should taste salty but not overwhelmingly so. It’s probably coming from your vegetable broth or tamari. Try using half the tamari again and low sodium or no-salt-added broth. Hope this helps!
Cannot beat vegetarian gravy recipe. So delicious my meat eating family raved and said this gravy is delicious. They couldn’t get over the flavor. So I finally told them the truth.
LOL! I’m glad the gravy is a hit with your family! Thanks for sharing your fun and great feedback!
I make this all the time!!!!! I even put it on kale!
Gravy is good on so many things! I’m glad you are loving it! Thank your sharing your fantastic feedback!
