It’s easy to make a flavorful gluten free gravy with just a few ingredients! This dairy free recipe is simple, and it’s the perfect finishing touch for your holiday meal. 

gluten free gravy

Well, since I shared the best dairy free mashed potatoes the other day, I thought I should share a recipe for easy gluten free gravy as well. What’s a holiday meal without mashed potatoes and gravy? And don’t forget the green bean casserole!

Whether you’re in need of a good dairy free and gluten free gravy for Thanksgiving or for Sunday dinner, this recipe is easy, flavorful, and made with simple ingredients.

What kind of thickener should you use to make gluten free gravy?

That’s a great question! I prefer corn starch, but tapioca starch also works. I have also used a gluten free flour blend, and that works really well.

Gluten free flour is a nice option if you have a corn allergy. Just make sure your brand of flour doesn’t contain any corn!

You can skip the chicken drippings if you want, but they do add more flavor to this gravy. If you’re in a hurry, or have kiddos randomly asking for mashed potatoes in the middle of the week, you can just make this gluten free gravy with chicken broth.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3 Tablespoons corn starch or tapioca starch, or gluten free flour blend
  • 3 Tablespoons turkey drippings or chicken drippings - or you can leave these out
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken broth and drippings (if using) in a pan and bring to a boil. 

  2. Place the corn starch (or other thickener) in a mug and add ¼ cup of the hot broth. Whisk well with a fork. 

  3. Add the starch/broth mixture to the pan. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat while whisking to remove any lumps. The gravy should thicken pretty quickly. If it is too thick, add some more broth.

  4. Season with more salt and pepper if desired before serving.

Can you make gluten free gravy ahead of time?

You can make this ahead of time, but it will kind of solidify in the refrigerator. Just make sure to whisk it thoroughly as you reheat it, and add a little more broth if needed.

If you’re serving a crowd, you can easily double this recipe. And if you have an occasion to make beef gravy, you can do that – just use beef stock and beef drippings.

    This gravy was so delicious!!! I was looking for a quick gravy recipe because my kids LOVE gravy with their mashed potatoes, and this one was the best!! I will definitely be using this recipe again. One of them can’t eat gluten or dairy, and she loved it!!

    I avoid both wheat and corn and don’t really like the texture that tapioca flour gives to gravy. To my mind the best choices for thickening are teff flour and sorghum flour. Google “teff gravy” for a good recipe with no common allergens..

    Looking forward to making this recipe! I like to use arrowroot powder in place of corn starch or gf flour or anything else. Could I use arrowroot powder for this recipe?

    Hi there! Any recommendations on a non-dairy substitute for the vegan buttery spread?
    I live in a small, small town where we don’t get that in our grocery store. We don’t have a Wal-Mart, or any health food stores.
    Could I just use coconut oil? Would that impart too much of a coconut taste?

    Thanks in advance! And Happy Thanksgiving next week!

      Smart Balance is dairy free: https://www.smartbalance.com/faq#n1208996
      But you should call the company and check to make sure you are comfortable with their allergen practices.

      If you can’t find a butter substitute, I think I would just use more pan drippings! Coconut oil wouldn’t work too well – it would lend a coconut flavor.

      Happy Thanksgiving! :)
