The Best Vegan Creamy Mushroom Sauce

There’s nothing like a homemade creamy mushroom sauce that you can serve with many savory dishes, right? Whether you enjoy it with pasta, gnocchi, mashed potatoes, rice or bread dumplings, creamy mushrooms are super versatile and always a hit!

Anyone who has tried my vegan mushroom stroganoff or the chickpea no-meatballs knows that the combination of mushrooms and pasta or mashed potatoes is simply the best! Grandma often served creamy mushrooms with schnitzel, especially the German “Jägerschnitzel”was grandpa’s favorite dish! Therefore, the vegan version with celery schnitzel has also become a special recipe of my new cookbook “Vegan Paradise”!

Ingredients needed for this recipe

To make creamy mushrooms, you only need a few simple staple ingredients that you may already have in your pantry. Since mushrooms grow in almost every month of the year, feel free to gather any available mushroom varieties in the woods and use them for this recipe.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

• Canola or olive oil: for frying.
• Mushrooms: cremini, brown or white button or other mushrooms of your choice.
• Onions: diced.
• Garlic cloves: chopped.
• All-purpose flour: or gluten-free flour.
• Soy or Tamari sauce: or sub coconut aminos if soy-free.

How to make Vegan Creamy Mushroom Sauce

As always, I recommend checking out this step-by-step instruction first. Then you’ll find the full recipe with exact measurements in the recipe card below!

Step 1: Sauté the vegetables.

Start by heating the oil in a pan and sauté the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until they turn slightly golden brown. Then add onions and garlic and sauté for another 3 minutes. Now sprinkle with flour, add thyme and sauté for a few seconds.

Step 2: Pour in liquid and simmer.

Next, deglaze the pan with soy sauce and white wine and let it boil down briefly. Then add vegetable broth, cooking cream and mustard and season with nutritional yeast flakes, salt and pepper. Cover the pan with a lid and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes. Finally, stir in the parsley and you’re done!

Tip: If the mushroom sauce becomes too thick, simply add a little more water, dairy-free milk or more cooking cream.
