Ingredients for Vegan Bechamel Sauce
A great chef always has few easy and quick recipes up his sleeve. Especially sauces. And this sauce is the easiest ever to make.
Creamy Mushroom Pasta with Truffle Oil
Here’s what you’ll need for this Vegan Bechamel Sauce.
- 8 tbsp vegan butter (use regular butter for non-vegan sauce)
- 3 tbsp flour (gluten-free if desired)
- Pinch of salt
- 4 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
- 2 cups oat milk
- 1 cup vegetable stock (bouillon)
- Nutmeg, black ground pepper for garnish (optional)
How to make Vegan Bechamel Sauce
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until thickened and bubbly.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add nutritional yeast, season with salt, and pour in the bouillon.
Finally pour in the oat milk and whisk aggressively until the sauce thickens.
When you’ve reached the desired thickness (the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools), remove it from the heat. Garnish with black ground pepper or nutmeg and serve warm!
What’s the best plant milk to use in a Vegan Bechamel sauce?
I like to use oat milk in sauce recipes which has a nice soft flavor and won’t interfere with other ingredients. Another option is to use soy milk (naturally sweeter taste than other kinds of milk) or unsweetened coconut milk, but this will depend on personal preferences, allergies and etc.
