METHOD
Heat oil in a saucepan over low-medium heat. Whisk in flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, and maple syrup. Cook for about 2 minutes.
Then slowly whisk in the vegetable broth. Make sure there are no lumps. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
NOTES
Temperature: Start with room temperature broth for even mixing and to prevent lumps.
Soy sauce brands: Some soy sauce brands are saltier than others, so taste yours beforehand and adjust the measurements accordingly.
Stirring: Stir the gravy continuously, especially when you’re adding the broth to ensure a smooth, even texture.
Simmer gently: Once you add the vegetable broth, keep the gravy at a gentle simmer. A rapid boil can cause the gravy to split.
Reheat slowly: If you’ve made your brown vegan gravy in advance, remember to reheat it slowly to prevent the gravy from breaking or becoming too thick.
