Vegan Sausage Gravy & Biscuits

September 26, 2012 By Heather Blackmon

.

I’ve been having fun making “fancy” breakfast at least once on the weekend recently. Sometimes fancy means a loaded tofu scramble, but after the race last weekend, I decided sausage gravy & biscuits sounded really good.

Vegan Sausage Gravy Biscuits

I’ve made a version of this recipe a few times now, but hadn’t been thrilled with the biscuits. I decided to crack open Joy of Cooking this weekend for inspiration and found a recipe that was a little different than what I’ve tried before. After some tweaks, the results were exactly what I wanted!

Sausage gravy is pretty simple, but I really liked the extra depth of flavor the liquid smoke added to the finished product this weekend.

Enjoying a chai latte while cooking, while optional, sure makes the experience more fun!

Vegan Sausage Gravy & Biscuits
Recipe Type: breakfast
Cuisine: vegan, vegetarian
Author: Heather Blackmon
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • +For the Biscuits
  • 2/3 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 2/3 cups whole wheat white flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • +For the Sausage Gravy
  • 4 links tofurky breakfast links
  • 1 3/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat white flour
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
Instructions
  1. +For the Biscuits
  2. *Makes 6 biscuits; only 4 biscuits needed for this recipe*
  3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  4. Combine almond milk and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl, set aside. In a medium bowl, combine flour through pie spice and whisk together thoroughly. Add extra virgin olive oil and mix until just combined. Add milk mixture and mix together until combined and dough has been formed.
  5. Transfer dough to a floured surface and roll out to make a rectangle about 11 x 6 (you may need to roll out several times to get the shape & size you need). Fold in half and cut biscuits using a small circle (I use a small tupperware bowl). Place biscuits on a cookie sheet sprayed lightly with cooking spray, at least 1 inch apart.
  6. Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
  7. +For the Sausage Gravy
  8. Slice tofurkey breakfast sausages. Sauté sausages over medium heat in medium pan coated in cooking spray. Once browned, set aside.
  9. Add flour to pan and slowly add almond milk, whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until sauce thickens, adding liquid smoke when almost finished. Add sliced sausage back to the pan and continue to cook until thoroughly heated.
  10. Assemble
  11. Pull or cut 4 biscuits in half and place face-up on plate. Pour gravy evenly over biscuits and serve!

This was a great treat to celebrate the completion of our first longer race in Denver…but don’t save fun breakfast recipes like this for a special occasion. Any morning with a little more time is the perfect opportunity to enjoy this meal!

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
