Ingredients

• 2 cups Unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
• 0.5 cups Vegetable broth
• 0.25 cups Plain all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter or neutral oil
• 1 cups Plant-based sausage crumbles or alternative protein crumbles
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried sage
• 0.25 teaspoons Dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons Soy sauce or tamari
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional for heat)

Directions

Step 1

Add the vegan butter or neutral oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted and hot, add the plant-based sausage crumbles.

Step 2

Cook the crumbles for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and slightly crispy.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the crumbles, stirring well to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Slowly whisk in the plant-based milk and vegetable broth, breaking up any lumps of flour as you go. Continue to whisk until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried sage, dried thyme, soy sauce or tamari, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 2-3 additional minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.

Step 7

Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite biscuits or breakfast items. Enjoy!
