How to Make Vegan Biscuits and Gravy
This homemade dairy free biscuits and gravy recipe comes together in under 30 minutes which means it’s the perfect breakfast meal any day of the week.
- To start making this homemade vegan biscuits and gravy, you are going to want to make the biscuits. We highly recommend that you make our homemade dairy free biscuits that are included in the total 30 minute timeframe.
- Once you have the biscuits in the oven cooking you can get started on the vegan sausage gravy. Start by melted butter in a large skillet. We love using a cast iron skillet for this meal. Once the butter is melted, add in your vegan sausage. We find it best to break into small pieces. You are then going to brown your sausage, all while crumbling up the mixture to smaller crumbles. After about 5 minutes, you are going to add your dried sage and stir together. The sage gives it a more savory and earthy tones that are typical of a lot of non-vegan breakfast sausages. If you find and use a vegan breakfast sausage that already has sage you can omit this step.
- Next, sprinkle half the flour over the sausage and combine. Then do the other half. Mix well until you see no more flour. Then, add the milk, one cup and a time, stirring after each cup. Finally, let cook, stirring frequently, for 10-15 minutes. It will thicken up during this time. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
- Depending on the sausage that you use, will really determine the salt you need to add as some prepackaged sausage has a lot of sodium already added to it.
- Remove from the heat and serve over the warmed homemade vegan biscuits that you made. Store any leftovers in the fridge.

Is this a Top 8 Allergy Friendly sausage gravy and biscuits recipe?
This recipe contains soy and wheat in the vegan sausage. The rest of the recipe can be Top 8 Allergy Friendly. If you are able to locate a vegan sausage that does not contain these two ingredients then it would be also. We have not found one ourselves, but will update if we do.

I kid you not – you ABSOLUTELY CAN’T tell the difference between this and real sausage and gravy!! I made the homemade biscuits with these, and they were also very delicious! These will definitely become a regular dish.
Such a compliment! Thanks!
I saw your recipe on Instagram first, and had to run STRAIGHT to this site and the grocery store. I made the gravy today and it’s is DELICIOUS. I loved sausage gravy but had to stop eating it when I went red-meat free. I’m so glad I found this recipe. Will be making at least once a month!
So happy to hear it was a hit for you and that you got to have it again!
This recipe was so easy to make. I used used Impossible sausage, which had a slight kick to it but it turned out great. It tastes like the gravy I remember from my childhood. Thank you for continuing to share great food.
Love that you enjoyed it so much!
Made this for dinner this evening. My whole family loved it! I used Impossible sausage, yummy! Thanks for another great recipe!
Awesome! So glad that you found another good one!
