Mushroom Gravy (Vegan & Flourless)

Published on in Sauces & Dressing

This is the only gravy recipe you’ll ever need. It is the absolute best.

At Thanksgiving, I often hear people saying they like it more than the turkey gravy, and my vegan heart swells with pride.

Yes, the arrowroot powder in the gravy is BLE compliant. 

I like to make a cauliflower and potato mash, because let’s be honest, 4 oz of mashed potatoes never feels like enough. I love the lightness of cauliflower mash (and the fact that it is counted as veggies), but it is kind of lacking in flavor. This is the best of both worlds. I steam 4 oz each of cauliflower and potatoes in the same steamer basket until soft, and then I purée them with a splash of plant milk, garlic, and seasonings. Then I pour gravy allllll over it. YUM.

    Oh Katie, thank you! I love gravy and thought that I would never again have gravy and enough mashed potatoes. Your beautiful recipe speaks to my comfort food loving heart. I am a BLE Lifer and experimenting with whole food plant-based recipes. Score!

    Hi, I just started BLE this morning, and I was just checking can I fast at breakfast and save my potato for lunch or dinner?
