Easy Blender Onion Gravy
Easy Blender Onion Gravy is a simple recipe that makes the most delicious, smooth and tasty onion gravy with no lumps and no fuss. This onion gravy will make even the simplest meal taste fantastic.
What is in Easy Blender Onion Gravy?
The ingredients are simple, onions roasted in olive oil, stock and a little cornflour (cornstarch) to thicken the gravy.
Roast the Onions
I use my air fryer for many simple tasks including roasting onions. It is ideal for baking and roasting as well as air frying, try my Air Fryer Baked Potatoes and Wholemeal Soda Bread recipes.
If you don’t have an Air Fryer, then you can either gently saute the onions until soft or roast them in the oven at 180C for 15- 20 minutes.
The Stock
Mix the cornflour with a little cold water then mix it with the stock. You can use your own homemade stock, a stock cube or ready-made stock.
Making the Easy Onion Blender Gravy
Add the roasted onions and stock mixture to the blender. I use the Froothie Evolve Blender and choose the SAUCE option.
If you don’t have a Froothie Evolve with a sauce making function, blend until smooth and then heat through, either in a pan on the stove or in the microwave to cook out the cornflour.
And that’s it, pour into your gravy boat or jug and serve. Easy Blender Onion Gravy will also keep fresh in the fridge for 3 days or you can freeze it. Let it defrost and then reheat to serve. If the gravy separates, simply give it another pulse in the blender.
Easy Blender Onion Gravy Serving Suggestion
Serve the onion gravy with large Yorkshire Puddings filled with steamed carrots (you can steam them in the Froothie Evolve) and peas, veggie sausages and some fried onion rings.
If you would like to make your own large Yorkshire Puddings, follow this recipe or Proper Yorkshire Puddings from Feast Glorious Feast, but use a 20 cm sponge cake pan to get the size. The recipe will make 2 large puddings, so double up if you want to make 4.
Alternatively, you can buy frozen Yorkshires and simply heat them in the oven.

What a fabulous way to make gravy, and I just love the convenience! I will definitely be trying out this recipe! Thank you!
I’m always looking for the easy way, thanks for your kind comment.
I hardly ever make gravy but that is going to change now, I love the sound of this vegetarian onion gravy!
Thank you, it’s so easy to make in the Froothie Evolve too.
Love the sound of this gravy Janice and how beautifully smooth it is. We are huge gravy fans in our house and as I am now exploring more meat/dairy free options your recipe sounds perfect. Can’t wait to try it!
Thank you, Jo. I made the gravy again last night and toasted a couple of cloves of garlic with the onions and it was even better?
I love the idea of the roasted onions to make a gravy – looks wonderful, Janice. As for serving, now you have me also craving Yorkshire pudding!
Thank you, Jill. It’s all quick and easy which is what we all need some days!
Two Froothie machines in one recipe. Fabulous. I’m a convert to making gravy in the Evolve. I made our Christmas dinner gravy in it and it was delicious. Sadly I didn’t write down what I did, so I’ll have to come up with that recipe all over again. Meanwhile, your onion gravy sounds delicious, so I think I ought to try it.
AND I really want one of your giant Yorkshire puddings. Looks amazing.
Thank you, I really haven’t explored the full sauce making capacity of the Evolve, but I’m definitely going to as we love the gravy.
I’ve never made gravy. If I’d known it was this simple, I’d have made it years ago! One to try soon for sure 🙂
There are lots of different types of gravy and I know people are put off by the fear of lumpy gravy. This is definitely the way I’m going to be making it in future. Add a couple of garlic cloves to the onions to roast, that’s nice too.
I love your blog because I always find out something I didn’t know. I am definitely making gravy in a blender from now on. Love this idea.
Thank you, Sisley that’s very kind of you to day so ☺️
My husband loves onion gravy. I need to try this in my Froothie Evolve!
I hope he enjoys it, Heidi. Our grandchildren loved it.
I make my own beef and poultry stock and I am assuming that could be substituted for the vegetable stock. This looks delicious!
Hi Brenda, it will be even better with your own stock!
