Ingredients

• 2 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon Tamari or soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the vegetable broth, almond milk, nutritional yeast, tamari or soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, and ground black pepper.

Step 2

Whisk together to combine all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure there are no clumps of spices.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

In a small bowl, make the slurry by dissolving the cornstarch in cold water until there are no lumps.

Step 5

Once the broth mixture is simmering, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while whisking continuously to avoid any lumps forming.

Step 6

Continue to whisk constantly as the gravy thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a simmer.

Step 7

Once the gravy has reached your desired consistency, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your liking.

Step 8

Remove the gravy from the heat and allow it to sit for a minute to set slightly.

Step 9

Serve immediately over your favorite dishes, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
