If you do want to make proper fluffy vegan buttermilk biscuits with their tender, flaky layers, you do you. I’ve got that recipe for you. But most of the time, I’d rather whip these vegan drop biscuits up.

Drop biscuits are easier to make than regular biscuits. No need to get your hands dirty and get your counter-top covered in flour. All you need to do is mix the ingredients together, spoon the batter on to a prepared baking sheet, and bake for about 15 minutes. They bake up warm and fluffy on the inside with crunchier edges all ’round.

You could use my almost instant lazy gravy recipe to go with this. Or use this even lazier version: vegan country gravy. It’s just flour browned with oil, salt, pepper, and plain plant-based milk. I like almond milk for this; the nutty flavour goes well. Otherwise, I like soy or oat milk for a nut-free option.

Add some vegan sausage and maybe a salad to make a more complete meal. Or make some vegan fried ‘chicken’. There are no rules!

If you’re hankering for something a bit cheesier, try my new Cheddar Oat Drop Biscuits too!

Yield: 1 1/3 cup THICK gravy

Vegan Country Gravy

Vegan country gravy (aka white gravy) comes together in minutes and tastes fantastic. Pair withΒ vegan drop biscuitsΒ which take only 20 minutes to make or take your time and make someΒ vegan buttermilk biscuits. Makes 1 1/3 of thick gravy; thin to your preference.

Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 - 2 cups plain almond milk, separated (or your choice of plant-based milk)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add flour slowly while stirring to avoid lumps. Continue to stir and cook for about 3 minutes or until it just turns golden brown.
  2. Continue to stir while adding a cup of almond milk; a little at a time to prevent lumps from forming. See the video for a demonstration.
  3. When all the milk is incorporated, stir in salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the gravy becomes thick. Then you can add the reserved almond milk to thin the gravy down to your preference. Add more almond milk or water for a thinner gravy. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Add additional spices or other flavourings as desired.

Notes

  • I like plain almond milk for this recipe for its nutty flavour. For a more neutral flavour, choose rice milk. Oat milk is also nice.

    DROOOOOOOOOOOLING. I LOVED biscuits growing up. They were a rare luxury I’d enjoy at some American restaurants. Now I can enjoy them all the time with this recipe!

        I made these today using half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour. I replaced the oil with Applesauce and used homemade oat milk. They turned out really well. Thank you for sharing! πŸ™‚

        I’ve made these biscuits many times, but today I made the gravy too and I am on cloud nine. Breakfast was ready in 20 minutes and it could not have been easier or more delicious.

    Hi. Can these biscuits be made ahead of time?

      After baking, they can be stored like other bread at room temperature for a couple days. But honestly, they are best the same day. They only take 20 minutes to make: 5 minutes to mix the ingredients, 15 minutes in the oven.
      Hope that helps!

    Can you us chickpea flour instead of all purpose flour?

    • Mary

      No, I would not use chickpea flour as a straight substitute.

    This recipe is great! And easy to make gluten free (tried just rice flour and tried gluten free 1 to 1, both worked well for me!) Thank you!!!
