If you haven't checked out the OvercomingMS website yet, you really should. There are many wonderful recipes available there and I am a frequent visitor. I was recently perusing their recipe list and came across this biscuit recipe that looked amazingly simple and fast to make (slightly tweaked version below).

After making the biscuits I had a really big craving for a nice big bowl of biscuits and gravy, so I set out to try to make an equally simple and fast gravy recipe. It turned out to be exactly what I was hoping for. So the next time you are in the mood for a nice warm bowl of breakfast comfort food, I hope you give this one a try. The biscuit recipe makes about 12-15 biscuits and the gravy recipe makes about two to three servings, so if you need more just scale it up! 

Vegan Biscuits and Gravy Recipe
vegan, plant-based, refined sugar-free

Ingredients:
Biscuits
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup (can substitute honey)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup almond milk

Gravy
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds (can alternatively use raw cashews or almonds)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 onion, chopped
  • 4 oz. mushrooms, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (can substitute dried)
  • 1 tsp fresh oregano (can substitute dried)
  • 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil or flax oil

Instructions:
Biscuits
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Then add the maple syrup, olive oil, and almond milk and stir to combine.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add the mixture to the sheet 1 Tbsp at a time, leaving a little space in between mounds.
  5. Bake for 10-15 min.

Gravy
  1. Add the onion and garlic to a pan on medium heat and cook for about 5 min, add some water (or vegetable broth) a tablespoon at a time to keep it from sticking.
  2. Add the mushrooms and saute until they are lightly browned.
  3. Blend the flax seeds and water to make a smooth cream and add to the pan along with the salt, pepper, thyme and oregano. Let simmer for 5-10 min.
  4. Remove from heat, letting it cool just a tad and then add the oil.
  5. Top on the freshly baked biscuits.

I made a vegetable soup for dinner and wanted a side of bread. Since it was a last minute decision, I needed something quick. Not only are these biscuits super easy and quick to make (and no mess), they are delicious!!!
