I didn’t used to think I was a gravy person.

Now biscuits? Oh, I’ve always loved my biscuits. I love biscuitswith strawberry jam. I love biscuitswith a warm pat of butter. I especiallylove biscuitswith (my personalfavorite) a nice slather of peanut butter, which gets all nice and ooey gooey and melty atop a warm biscuit. ButI could never quite understand why my friends were so madly in love with their“b & g”.

Something about the sausage-laden gravy just never quite appealed to me. Nor did the idea of eatingspoonfuls upon spoonfuls of sauce that was probably made with loads of heavy cream. So I admittedly spent the first three decades of my life always passing on the “g”, until about a year ago when one of my friends finally convinced me to tryher absolute favorite:

Mushroom gravy.

Made veganwith almond milk instead ofheavy cream, no less.

Let’s just say I’m finally part of the “b & g” club now. I absolutely love this gravy!!!

In retrospect, I’m not sure why I was so surprised.

I generally love cream sauces,and regularlysub in almond milk for dairywhen looking for a lighter alternative or cooking for my vegan friends. And I lovelovelove mushrooms. (Although after a little heated vote on Instagram last week, I was reminded that many of you don’t. Who knew ‘shrooms could be so polarizing?!)

So yeah, in theory, I probably should have tried a good mushroom gravy a long time ago. But once I finally did — and tried agood mushroom gravy, that was heavy on the mushrooms, light on the creaminess, and full of rich savory flavors — I was 500% sold.

And then being the good little food blogger I am, immediately had to come home and learn how to make it myself.

I’ve been tinkering around with my favorite recipe for awhile now, so thought it was high time to share it with you. We begin with my favorite 3-ingredient coconut oil biscuits, which come together in about 20 minutes from start to finish. (The best!!)

But the gravy is the rockstar of today’s recipe.

The ingredients are pretty straightforward — Blue DiamondAlmond Breeze Almondmilk Original(or Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almondmilk Original Unsweetened)and vegetable stock form the flavorful base, a (vegan) butter roux thickens it up,shallots and a little garlic give it a savory kick, some fresh rosemary is essential, and most importantly,it’s filled with lots and lots and lots of mushrooms. I prefer baby bellas, but really you can use just about any of your favorite mushrooms (or a mix) here.

Simmer the mushrooms in your butter,add the shallots and onion, thicken it up with the roux, then stir in the remaining ingredients. And once the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens up, it should all be ready to go in less than 15 minutes. You know, coincidentally just about the amount of time it takes to bake those biscuits.

Once they’re both ready to go, serve the warm gravy on top of the warm biscuits…

…and get ready for some “b & g”heaven.

It’s comfort food at its best — warm, hearty, full of the best savory flavors. But believe it or not, the entire recipe is actually dairy-free and vegan. So if youand your friends can get your “b & g” fix without having to worry about sausage or heavy cream. Even though I happen to like both of those ingredients, I prefer the vegan version of this recipe. :)

Enjoy!
