Ingredients in Plant Based Gravy
You likely won’t need any salt at all. Between the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and dijon mustard you should already have enough in there. But just incase, I added the salt to the shopping list. I would hate for you to be without an ingredient or ill prepared, so it’s there just in case.
You can easily make this gravy gluten- free too, just use your favorite gluten-free flour (I like Bob’s Red Mill One to One) and Tamari in place of soy sauce (it tastes exactly the same).

How to Make Vegan Gravy
This easy gravy recipe is so simple to make, you can do it on weeknights! All you need it a pot and a whisk, and a few minutes. And you’ll be rewarded with the yummiest vegan gravy you’ve ever had!
How to Make Gravy:
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the flour, and mix until a paste starts to form. This is your roux.
- Pour 1/2 cup of the broth into the pot and whisk well removing any lumps, add the remaining broth along with the onion and garlic powder, the soy sauce, mustard and pepper. Mix well to incorporate.
- Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
- Taste, and if it is needed, add salt, or more pepper.
- Move to a gravy boat and pour over your favorite dishes.
- Special Tip: If you are having a hard time getting the gravy to thicken, scoop 1/2 cup of the broth out and mix it with 1 tablespoon of corn starch. Then add back to the gravy and mix well.
