Notes
This gravy is best served hot. If the gravy has flour lumps, or if you want smooth gravy, blend it up, heat it for a minute and serve. If you make ahead. It will thicken in the refrigerator. Reheat and add more stock as needed.
To make this gluten-free, use rice flour instead of the all-purpose flour.
For a soy-free version, use chickpea miso instead of the Worcestershire sauce and choose a soy-free non-dairy milk.
To make it nut-free, make sure that your non-dairy milk is nut-free.
To make this without nutritional yeast, replace it with 1 teaspoon miso.
To make easy vegan gravy with mushrooms, add 6 to 8 oz mushrooms with onion and cook to golden.
