Ingredients
For the Vegan Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound vegan sausage (or vegan beef like Impossible burger or Beyond burger)
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 2 3/4 – 3 cups vegan milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Vegan Biscuits
- Use your favorite vegan biscuit recipe or pre-made vegan biscuits (not included in this recipe)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegan Biscuits: Make a serving of your preferred vegan biscuits according to your recipe or package instructions. Bake them so they are warm and ready to serve alongside the gravy.
- Cook the Vegan Sausage: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the vegan sausage. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the meat changes color from pink to brown. Halfway through cooking, add 2 tablespoons of vegan butter to the pan to help brown the sausage evenly and prevent sticking.
- Add the Flour: Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour evenly over the cooked sausage in the pan. Stir thoroughly to fully incorporate the flour into the sausage mixture, cooking for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Slowly Incorporate the Milk: Reduce the heat to medium. Gradually pour the vegan milk into the pan, about 1/2 cup at a time, while continuously stirring to blend the milk into the sausage and flour mixture. Continue until all 2 3/4 to 3 cups of milk are incorporated and the gravy begins to thicken.
- Season the Gravy: Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir vigorously to combine all the seasonings evenly into the gravy.
- Simmer and Adjust Consistency: Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently and let the gravy cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. If the gravy becomes too thick, add additional vegan milk by the tablespoon and whisk to reach the perfect creamy texture.
- Serve: Remove the gravy from heat. Serve it hot over warm vegan biscuits with optional hot sauce on the side.
Notes
- You can use any plant-based milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk depending on your preference for the gravy.
- For better browning and flavor, add the vegan butter halfway through cooking the vegan sausage.
- Adjust the amount of milk to get the gravy as thick or thin as you like.
- This recipe is completely vegan and dairy-free, suitable for vegans and those avoiding animal products.
