What We Love About This Recipe

This gravy is beyond delicious. It’s rich and savory, with an earthiness from the mushrooms that you just won’t get with other gravies.
You only need 5 ingredients for this vegan mushroom gravy recipe, and I’m willing to bet you probably have at least 4 of them on hand right now. Maybe 5 if you’re a big fan of mushrooms or just great at planning ahead.

Chef’s Tips

Save yourself some prep work and buy pre-sliced mushrooms if you can find them!
Make sure you wipe the mushrooms clean before using them. Use a soft mushroom brush, soft toothbrush, or damp paper towel to clean them – but absolutely don’t soak the mushrooms in water! They’re like little sponges and they will absorb. If you use pre-sliced mushrooms, they were cleaned before packaging so you don’t need to clean them again.
After adding the flour to the saucepan, make sure you stir everything really thoroughly. If the flour clumps at all, use a whisk to break them up. The gravy should be velvety smooth when it’s done!

Instructions

Place medium saucepan on stovetop over medium heat. Add ¼ cup refined coconut oil to saucepan and heat oil until melted and shimmering.
When oil is hot, add 2 teaspoons minced garlic to saucepan. Sauté garlic 30 to 60 seconds, stirring occasionally, until garlic is fragrant.
When garlic is fragrant, add 16 ounces sliced mushrooms and stir to incorporate. Season mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Sauté mushrooms, stirring occasionally, approximately 10 minutes or until liquid has evaporated.
Once liquid has evaporated, add ¼ cup all-purpose flour to saucepan. Stir to incorporate, then brown flour approximately 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
When flour is nicely browned, pour in just 1 of 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth. Stir briskly until broth is fully incorporated into flour, then pour in remaining vegetable broth and stir to incorporate.
Reduce heat under saucepan to medium-low. Simmer mixture, stirring often, 20 to 25 minutes or until gravy has thickened.
When gravy has thickened to desired consistency, taste gravy and season with additional salt and/or black pepper as needed. Transfer gravy to serving vessel and serve warm.
