Notes
Cooking: If left on the heat, it will continue to thicken and may get thicker than you would like. If that does happen, simply add more broth or water to the pot, and whisk to thin out. Just remember to remove it from the heat quickly.
Gluten-free: Vegan brown gravy can be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend, arrowroot powder, or cornstarch as a thickening agent. Additionally, ensure all other ingredients, such as soy sauce or tamari, are certified gluten-free.
Storage: Store vegan brown gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Reheating: Reheat it on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of vegetable broth to reach the desired consistency.
