Add the spices and continue cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir to combine.
Pour in the milk. Whisk until no clumps of flour remain.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until thickened.

Notes
Make vegan biscuits with just five ingredients! Mix 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Then, pulverize 2/3 cup of cashews with 1 cup of water and stir this mixture into the dry ingredients. Portion and shape the biscuits onto a lined baking tray and bake for 10 minutes.
Vegan sausage gravy over biscuits is comfort food at its finest. But if you don't feel like making vegan biscuits, try this creamy gravy with toast, waffles, grits, or muffins.
For make-ahead or leftovers, store the cooled vegan sausage gravy in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat over medium-low heat, stirring a bit of plant-based milk to reach your desired consistency.
