Cashew Gravy – Ingredient Substitutions

  • Tapioca Flour

    You can use arrowroot starch or corn starch in place of tapioca starch in this recipe.

  • Cashews

    I do not recommend replacing cashews with any other nuts (or seeds) in this particular recipe!

  • Nutritional Yeast

    If you are not a fan of nutritional yeast, you can simply omit it in this recipe.

Can I make this Easy Vegan Gravy ahead of time?

Yes! I find that this easy vegetarian gravy keeps well at room temperature for a few hours (great for serving at gatherings!) or you can make it, place it in the refrigerator and re-heat right before serving.

Can I/should I soak the cashews beforehand?

Soaking isn’t necessary, but if you do not have that great a quality of a blender or food processor, soaking the cashews in hot water 30 minutes prior will help achieve a smoother consistency!

    1. You can use regular cashews, it just may not be quite as smooth a sauce. I would recommend soaking the cashews in warm water for about an hour before blending, in this case. I hope this helps! 🙂
