I sit here writing this while enjoying my first Chestnut Praline Latte of the season. Somehow, Michigan was randomly selected as one of the places to product test last year, so I drank approximately 8 billion last year and have been impatiently waiting 9 months to be reunited with my one true love have another one. Starbucks is not paying me to say this (but they could if they really want to, I accept free lattes) and this is no way related to the rest of the post, I just thought everyone could use a public service announcement demanding they run and get a latte.
I’d like to say this gravy is equally as exciting as a CPL, but I’ll be honest: it’s not. This gravy is something that comes together pretty quickly and easily, so it doesn’t have the same get-it-while-it-lasts excitement, but it is packed with delicious, gravy-y flavor. Yup. Gravy-y. So nice I had to extra adjective it. Some people might be tempted to call this a sauce, but those people are wrong. It tastes like gravy, no getting around it. And it’s tasty on top of potatoes, no way around that either.
Not that you’d want to go around potatoes. I recommend you dive directly into them. This is a great vegetarian/vegan alternative to gravy on Thanksgiving (or any day!), but I wouldn’t limit it to just the vegetarians. Josh was drowning his potatoes and saying he would pass on turkey gravy in exchange for this. That’s saying a lot, folks. He has so few opportunities to indulge in his omnivore ways that if he’s actively passing one up, you know this is a winning recipe.

What a brilliant recipe idea! Love it! Butternut squash gravy sounds just so delicious, love the idea of packing more veggies like this into my diet!
I’ll take any chance I can get to drizzle vegetables over my vegetables, ha.
A chestnut praline latte sounds amazing and now I want one right now!! This butternut gravy is genius! I have a love/hate relationship with gravy, I kinda love the taste and love putting it all over everything, but it really grosses me out when it gels up and congeals! This gravy, however, looks awesome and I think I might just have to add it to my menu this year 🙂
That’d be the cornstarch! Weird, jelled up gravy is totally disappointing, I agree. Luckily, no thickeners here so it should maintain it’s consistency pretty well. Perfect for when you want to go back for seconds (and 3rds, and 4ths) on Thanksgiving
OMG YES YUMMMM!!! SAVING AND MAKING for Thanksgiving, NO JOKE!
Yay! Let me know how it turns out 🙂
Chestnut praline latte? YUM. 🙂 And I think butternut squash gravy sounds deliciously creative!
This is such a great idea!
Thanks!
This is definitely a recipe I have to try. It looks delicious and what a great idea!
We’re hosting a Friendsgiving this weekend with quite a few vegetarians in attendance – I’m going to have to see if Hannah thinks we should make this! 🙂
This IS officially happy at Friendsgiving. I think we are all excited about trying it! 🙂
Friendsgiving sounds like a blast. I hope the gravy is a hit!
Nothing makes a vegetarian happier than when there’s a vegetarian gravy – trust me on that! It’s a rarity. Hope your Friendsgiving is a blast! 🙂
