Ingredients

POT PIE FILLING:

  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 small garlic cloves minced
  • 2 leeks thick green top removed and chopped/rinsed
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 10 ounces mushrooms chopped (about 3 ½ cups)
  • 3 cups diced butternut squash
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup plain almond milk
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste

BISCUIT TOPPING:

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 °F and spray 8 ramekins with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large sauce pan sauté the onion, garlic, leeks and carrots for about 3-4 minutes. Add in the mushrooms and butternut squash and cook 6 more minutes until the mushrooms have lost their water and shrunk and the butternut squash is starts to become tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle the ¼ cup of flour over the veggies, stir to coat everything, and let cook for about 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in the broth and milk and let the mixture simmer over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. If it's too thin add in another tablespoon of flour.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the frozen peas, thyme and parsley. Season to taste with more salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the mixture into your 8 prepared ramekins and set aside.
  • Now prepare your biscuits.* In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add in the vegan butter and use your hands to break up the butter until you get a crumbly mixture that has no butter pieces large than pea size.
  • Pour in the milk, starting with ¾ cup, and stir. Add in more milk until you get a ball of dough that holds together, but isn't too moist.
  • Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it 10 times. Pat it into down until it's about ¾ inch thick. Cut out 8 biscuits and place the biscuits on top of your veggie mixture in the ramekins.
  • Place all the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any overflow and bake for 15-17 minutes until the biscuit topping is cooked through and the veggie mixture is bubbly.
    Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*Prepare your biscuits while cooking the veggies for the pot pie if possible.
