Ingredients
- 8 dairy-free biscuits
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups unsweetened plain plant-based milk (soy or oat recommended)
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon white miso paste or 1 tablespoon tamari/soy sauce
- Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Biscuits: Bake or heat your dairy-free biscuits according to the package directions until golden brown. Keep them warm.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 6-8 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes to cook the raw flour taste out. It will form a thick paste.
- Create the Gravy: Gradually pour in the plant-based milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Simmer & Thicken: Once all the milk is added, whisk in the nutritional yeast, sage, smoked paprika (if using), pepper, salt, and miso paste/tamari. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, whisking frequently, until the gravy has thickened.
- Serve: Ladle the hot gravy generously over the warm biscuits and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Chef's Notes
The umami boost in this mushroom-free recipe comes from nutritional yeast and white miso paste (or tamari). The oil helps to brown the onions for a richer flavor and create a smooth roux for thickening. For a "meatier" texture, you can brown crumbled plant-based sausage with the onions. If the gravy gets too thick, just whisk in a splash more plant-based milk.
