Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Whole wheat flour
• 2 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, sprinkle in the whole wheat flour. Stir continuously with a whisk, cooking for about 1 to 2 minutes until the flour is lightly toasted and a nutty aroma develops.

Step 3

Slowly add the low-sodium vegetable broth to the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.

Step 4

Once the broth and flour are smoothly combined, gradually whisk in the unsweetened almond milk.

Step 5

Continue to whisk the mixture, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the gravy thickens.

Step 6

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 7

If the gravy becomes too thick, you can whisk in a little more almond milk until you reach the desired consistency.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the heart-healthy white gravy warm over your favorite biscuits or mashed potatoes.
