This is the easiest & most flavorful vegan gravy you’ll make for dinner or your next Thanksgiving. This recipe is one everyone will enjoy!

The star ingredient for this gravy recipe is the Better than Boullion no-chicken base. It tastes delicious in everything. I love adding this ingredient to my black-eyed peas, collard greens, and other soups and stews. Also, I make this gravy recipe with biscuits for brunch. Speaking of biscuits, I am loving organic immaculate biscuits. Have you tried them? If you’re interested then check them out on Amazon by clicking here. 

I learned to make this recipe at a cooking class for homemade marinades and sauces. I like to think of this quick and easy gravy recipe as a base. Once the base is done, you can add to it whatever you prefer. Such as mushrooms, your favorite protein, or add to rice or beans. This recipe is great not only for the holidays but also for any weeknight dinner.
