What We Love About This Recipe

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
