Vegan mushroom gravy is here!

It’s creamy and rich and packed with mushroom flavor.

It’s divine over mashed potatoes or rice or vegan roasts or anything at all really.

Making this mushroom gravy is super simple too. Even if you’re not usually much of a cook, you’ll be able to impress everyone with your fabulous gravy making skills when you make this.

The recipe is based on our recipe for vegan gravy and with just a few small adjustments turns that recipe into delicious vegan mushroom gravy.

Super simple vegan mushroom gravy

You start off by adding some vegan butter to the pot along with some chopped onion and garlic and fry that together.

Then you add in the sliced mushrooms and fry everything together.

Add some flour and some cold coconut milk to a measuring jug and whisk into a thick paste. Then add the rest of the coconut milk and whisk it so that the flour and coconut milk is combined and there are no lumps.

Then the coconut milk and flour mix goes into the pot along with some vegetable stock and soy sauce and you stir everything together and keep stirring until it boils and then let it boil for a few minutes until it thickens.

Salt and pepper to taste and the gravy is done!

That color though!

The color is a beautiful rich deep brown. The color comes from using dark soy sauce in this recipe. If you use a regular (light) soy sauce variety the color will be much lighter. You might prefer a lighter color, and if you do then be sure to use a light soy sauce instead.

I’m a fan of the deep dark rich tones of this gravy so dark soy sauce it is. I also really love the flavor of dark soy sauce so that is also a factor.

Mushroom Gravy Q&A

Want to make it gluten-free? Switch the all purpose flour for a gluten-free all purpose flour blend and be sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce as well.

Does it taste like coconut? No it doesn’t! We used coconut milk (canned, full fat) because it’s deliciously rich so was a great fit for a rich gravy. But if you have an allergy to coconut or otherwise don’t enjoy it, then you can make this with a different non-dairy milk, such as soy milk.

What to do with leftovers? You can store leftovers in the fridge and reheat the next day. If you want to freeze it, then let it cool completely and place into an airtight freezer safe container. Let it thaw and reheat in a saucepan.

Can I skip the mushrooms? If you don’t like mushrooms, then definitely make our other vegan gravy recipe (no mushrooms in that one!).
