Loved it!
Definitely my default gravy now — delicious, quick and easy and I always have these items on hand. Thank you for this gift, Nora!
You saved us. Bob and I are vegan and everyone else is not so that gravy was really important to us.
This is now my go to gravy! Yummy! I use better than bouillon Not Chicken and substituted about quarter cup oat milk to make it creamier. Had it at thanksgiving and everyone loved!
Just love this gravy!
Pretty tasty and so easy to make! I added some herbs de Provence to give it a seasonal flavour with some rosemary and sage. It was a hit and my husband loved it over the lentil loaf we had for dinner.
Thanks!
I love this recipe! So simple and easy to make it. I have made it twice. Once it turned out perfectly, the second it was kinda lumpy! I am trying to figure out what I did differently. But delicious flavour!
Awesome! Really great!
Delicious and simple! I kept trying to be fancy by finding mushroom vegan gravies, and this was so much better. We added it onto your vegan loaf for Thanksgiving. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I’m SO glad I found this! It was easy and delicious, with plenty of umami! I enjoyed it on my vegan ‘Holiday’ roast (as a substitute to the ‘gravy’ that came in the box).
Thanks! Glad to hear it!
Thank you for this fast and easy gravy. Had a last minute craving for fries and gravy and really appreciated the ease of this recipe!
Sounds amazing! Thank you.
My brother hates anything healthy and most definitely hates mushrooms but guess what…after this Thanksgiving he wanted your recipe. Thank you for showing omnivores that vegan ( and healthy vegan) can taste awesome.
That’s so great!
Could not be any easier and the flavors are amazing.
Thanks!
Nora, WOW I have been making vegan gravy since the 90’s, including complex ones with different types of fresh and dried mushrooms… and this is the winner, hands down, for its ease and flavor!
I also finished it with a bit of Earth Balance (about a tsp) as it thickened for a touch of richness and fuller mouthfeel, and added a little Bell’s seasoning. Thanks for this amazing creation!
You’re welcome!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I made it on Thanksgiving and again for dinner tonight, both times using the “not chicken” Better Than Bouillon and it’s sooo good! Even better because it doesn’t get a thick film or separate in the fridge like other gravies, it stores and reheats so well. I’ll definitely make this any time I want gravy 🙂
Definitely a contender for the best gravy I’ve ever made, vegan or not. I cannot recommend this recipe enough. I’ve been obsessed with it. It is near perfect as is, but you can’t go wrong adding some freshly ground black pepper. I make it using the better than bouillon vegetable base for the broth.
So easy and delicious!
I made this for my daughter on Thanksgiving. She absolutely loved it! I also tried some on my mashed potatoes. Wow it tastes amazing. Plus it was super easy to make. Thank You
You’re welcome!
THANK YOU for this! I have made gravies that include these ingredients and I’m so glad you showed us the light that they’re all you need! My boyfriend was traumatized by a chickpea gravy I make that I think is good and usually I have to tinker with the amount of flour to get the right consistency, etc. but this one was perfect exactly as you wrote it. Bookmarking for life!
That’s great to hear!
Lush gravy was really surprised after just going vegan and trying new things was well happy with that!
That’s so great!
Literally the best and easiest vegan gravy, I’m obsessed! Thank you for putting together a fast and easy recipe that’s cruelty free.
You’re welcome!
WOW!!! I love this gravy. I made it for Thanksgiving and now I am making it again to have in the fridge at all times. It is also great over air fried potatoes, brown rice, tofu, etc. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
This gravy transformed my Thanksgiving leftovers from ok to WOW!
Great and easy recipe. Used vegan chicken broth and it made it taste like I used turkey drippings! Highly recommend this recipe.
This gravy recipe is AMAZING!!! There is so much umami in the gravy I was doing a double take! I’m currently enjoying it over roasted garlic mashed potatoes!! Another super easy recipe that packs a flavorful lunch! Thank you Nora! I used a majority of your recipes so we could have a vegan Thanksgiving!! Your recipes are so scrumptious, my vegan partner’s pampered, and as a meat eater, I am not even missing the meat!!
Whoops meant to say packs a flavorful punch! 🙂
