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.
