Since my husband began his gluten-free diet, it has been difficult finding a gluten-free gravy recipe everyone enjoys.
We tried some packaged gravies, but they just didn't hit the spot.
Therefore, I decided to take on the task of creating my own gluten-free gravy that the whole family would love.
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend - Personally, I find Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free, All-Purpose Baking Flour to work best.
- Butter - To make this gravy vegan, use vegan butter instead.
- Vegetable Broth
- Gravy Master - This helps to achieve the caramel color of the gravy and adds flavor. And, it happens to be one of my childhood staples. If my memory serves me right, I watched my father use this browning/seasoning sauce countless times during during my childhood. It's also gluten-free and vegan!
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Fresh Herbs - I opted for a mix of fresh rosemary, sage and thyme.
How to Make This Vegetarian Gravy
To start, melt the butter (or vegan butter) in a saucepan over medium heat.
Next,makea roux by whisking the meltedbutter withgluten-free flour.
Then, whisk in vegetable broth.
Next, whisk in the herbs, Gravy Master, salt and black pepper.
Cook over medium-high heat until gravy reaches a boil.
Then, reduce to a simmer, stirring until gravy is at its desired thickness.
Transfer to serving dish and enjoy (by the ladleful) with your favorite meal! 😉
Ideas for serving
This gravy is perfect for your favorite vegetarian and vegan dishes.
We love it on top of the vegetarian/vegan version of these mashed potatoes without milk, these mashed potatoes with almond milk and this vegetarian meatloaf.
Do I have to use Gravy Master?
If you can't find Gravy Master in your local grocery store, you can buy it online or use a similar browning sauce of your choice such as Kitchen Bouquet.
Just be sure to check ingredient labels to ensure the brand you choose is gluten-free as well as vegan, if desired.

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter (use vegan butter for the vegan option)
- ¼ cup all-purpose gluten-free flour (I used Bob's Red Mill "Gluten Free, All Purpose Baking Flour")
- 3 cups (24 oz.) gluten-free vegetable broth
- ½ teaspoon Gravy Master (or other browning sauce)
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
- Salt to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once butter is melted, whisk in flour to make a roux.
Once the roux starts to bubble, turn heat to low. Whisk constantly until roux resembles a smooth paste (similar to peanut butter or cake frosting) and has a toasty aroma.
Whisk in the vegetable broth, Gravy Master (or other browning sauce) and fresh herbs. Add salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook gravy over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer and stir until desired thickness is achieved.
