My friends Yvonne, Sarah and I decided to create a full Thanksgiving Menu to share with you all on our blogs, to help you with planning the perfect vegan Thanksgiving feast for you and your loved ones to enjoy! Vegans and non-vegans alike will love our Thanksgiving menu!

My first contribution to our menu are these gluten-free Herbed Biscuits & Mushroom Gravy, the perfect comfort food to start off your Thanksgiving night!

In September, my boyfriend Chris took a vacation in LA, and we visited a restaurant called Gracias Madre for brunch, where we tried their biscuits and gravy. They were melt in your mouth good, topped with a vegan “bacon” gravy, caramelized onions, and cracked pepper. The flavors just exploded in our mouths, and I knew that this had to be something I would recreate very soon.

It initially did not even hit me to share this on the Thanksgiving menu, but I am glad I did. With the addition of herbs and a gravy that encompasses classic fall and thanksgiving flavors, this was spot on for the menu.

With the help of Chris and my dad, we taste tested the first batch of biscuits I had made, and I received all around approval. The only mention that I have to add is that these biscuits are best when fresh, warm, and straight out of the oven. If you are not consuming them right away, be sure to toast them or rewarm them in the oven prior to serving.

Each day, starting Nov. 1st, a new recipe will be released on www.SweetSimpleVegan.com, www.MyEclecticKitchen.com, and www.AhnestVeggie.com until our menu is complete, so be sure to follow along!

Please tag us @sweetsimplevegan @ahnestveggie @yvonne_deliciously_vegan and #ysjthanksgiving if you recreate any of our dishes, we’d love to see them!

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, baking soda and powder, sugar and sea salt.

3. Stir in the almond milk and vinegar with a wooden spoon until just combined.
4. Set in fridge 10 mins
5. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
6. Remove from fridge and dump the dough onto a counter lined with parchment paper. Gently work it into a ball with lightly floured hands (dough may be slightly sticky).
7. Gently press dough to be 1″ high and 8″ in diameter. Cut out biscuits using a wide mouth mason jar*. Place biscuits on the baking sheet and continue until all dough is used.
8. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Serve immediately with gravy.

Notes

Wide Mouth Mason Jar: 3 1/4″ mouth 10″ circumference

The coconut oil must be refined in order to avoid the coconut flavor.
